New book: Windows 7 Plain & Simple

We’re pleased to announce that Windows 7 Plain & Simple, by Jerry Joyce and Marianne Moon is now available in bookstores (Microsoft Press, 2010; ISBN: 9780735626669; 400 pages)!

With this book, you get the fast facts that make learning Windows 7 plain and simple! To give you a taste of what you’ll find in the book, here are excerpts from the book.

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

About This Book

In this section:

• No Computerspeak!
• A Quick Overview
• What’s New in Windows 7?
• A Few Assumptions
• A Final Word (or Two)

If you want to get the most from your computer and your software with the least amount of time and effort—and who doesn’t?—this book is for you. You’ll find Windows 7 Plain & Simple to be a straightforward, easy-to-read reference tool. With the premise that your computer should work for you, not you for it, this book’s purpose is to help you get your work done quickly and efficiently so that you can get away from the computer and live your life. Our book is based on the Windows 7 Home Premium edition running on a desktop, notebook, pen-based, or multi-touch-based computer that is, or can be, connected to the Internet. If you’re running another edition of Windows 7, you can still use all or most of the information you’ll find here. However, we do talk about some features that aren’t included in either the Starter or the Home Basic edition, and we don’t deal with some additional features that you’ll find in Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

Excerpt from Chapter 5:

Personalizing

In this section:

• Changing the Overall Look
• Enlarging Text
• Setting Your Desktop Background
• Customizing Your Desktop Icons, Mouse, Taskbar, Start Menu, and Folders
• Using a Screen Saver
• Controlling the User Account Control
• Setting the Way a Removable Storage Device Starts
• Using Alternative Ways of Working
• Working in a Different Part of the World
• Controlling Updates, Information Gathering, and Program Reporting

You can customize just about everything on your computer to make it look and work exactly the way you want. It’s fun to experiment with the various themes, and to try out the cool transparent look in windows, the taskbar, the Start menu, and other parts of Windows 7. You can create a slide show for your Desktop background and for your screen saver. You can change the size and color of almost everything; set items to open with one click instead of two; and rearrange or hide the taskbar, toolbars, Start menu, and Desktop items. You can even customize your little friend the mouse. You can use a single window in which to open all your folders, or use a separate window for each folder; and you can choose the details—date, author, and so on—that you want to be shown in your folder windows. If you sometimes work in a different language, you can switch the layout of your keyboard to that language, and you can add clocks to check the time in other cities or countries. If you have problems with your vision, hearing, or manual dexterity—or if you just want to try a different way of working—the Ease Of Access Center presents an array of alternative tools you can try. You can also control just how much information you share with Microsoft, and you can control when and how you update your computer’s software.

---

Excerpt from Chapter 10:

Using Voice and Sounds

In this section:

• Controlling the Volume
• Controlling the Sound System
• Creating a Sound Theme
• Directing Your Computer with Voice Commands
• Dictating Text
• Customizing Speech Recognition
• Talking to the Mouse
• Letting Your Computer Do the Talking
• Creating a Sound File
• Using Alternatives to Sound

If the sound your computer emits to signal an event—the logon or logoff sound, for example—is an earsplitting assault, relief in the form of adjusting the volume is just a click or two away with volume control in Windows 7. And, if you can’t stand the startup sound, you can simply turn it off! You can also use the volume control to keep your music and other sounds muted so that you don’t disturb the people around you. If you’d like to command your computer verbally instead of typing and using the mouse, try Windows 7’s powerful speech recognition program. We must stress how important it is to go through the tutorial so that you learn the correct commands, and so that the program can recognize your voice and the way you pronounce words. Be patient! It can take a bit of trial and error, but you’ll know it was time well spent when you can dictate letters or long documents without touching the keyboard! Instead of saving your fingers, perhaps you want to save your eyes by using the Narrator program, which actually reads aloud to you. Using your sound system, Narrator can describe items on your screen and can read blocks of text to you. But what if you can’t—or don’t want to—hear any sounds from your computer? You can set it to give you visual cues, including flashes and captions, instead.

New book: Windows 7 Step by Step

We’re pleased to announce that Windows 7 Step by Step by Joan Preppernau, Joyce Cox, and  Online Training Solutions, Inc., is now available for purchase in bookstores (Microsoft Press, 2010; ISBN: 9780735626676; 544 pages)!

To give you a taste of what you’ll find in the book, here are excerpts of the Introduction and two sample chapters.

Introducing Windows 7
Windows 7 is the computer operating system we’ve all been waiting for!

This latest version of the Windows operating system provides a deceptively simple computing experience; deceptive because on a Windows 7 computer, you can perform more—and more advanced—computing operations than ever before.

One of the first things you might notice about Windows 7 is the elegant look of the user interface. If you’re accustomed to working with Windows Vista, you’ll find a refined and enhanced interface with only a few new navigational features to learn. If you have been using an earlier version of Windows, you’ll find there have been significant changes, and will quickly appreciate the high-quality visual effects of the Windows 7 interface. Windows 7 includes several new features that utilize the Aero functionality introduced with Windows Vista. Features such as animations, translucent glass window frames, Windows Flip, Windows Flip 3D, Aero Peek, and Aero Shake provide an amazing desktop computing experience.

Beneath the attractive and efficient interface lies a powerful yet unobtrusive operating system. Windows 7 operates very efficiently, so your computing experience is faster than ever before—you’ll particularly notice this if you upgrade your computer from Windows Vista. Security features that were introduced with Windows Vista have been refined to maximize usability and minimize interruptions.

A new view of the file storage structure, called a library, gives you access to multiple storage locations from one window. Locating files, programs, and utilities has never been easier, and various tools and gadgets make it simple to do the things you want and need to do with your computer. Certain programs that were formerly installed with Windows, such as the e-mail management program known, in its various versions, as Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, or Outlook Express, have been removed from the operating system to concentrate Windows 7 resources on managing your computer. These programs are now available to all Windows users as part of the Windows Live family of programs.

You might have purchased a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed or you might have already upgraded your existing computer from another operating system to Windows 7. If Windows 7 is already running on your computer, you can skip most of the information in this section. For readers who are still in the planning stages, this section provides information about the editions of Windows 7 that are available and the process of installing Windows 7 on a computer that is running Windows Vista, Windows XP, or another operating system.

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

Explore Windows 7

In this chapter, you will learn how to

• Log on to Windows 7.
• Explore the desktop.
• Use the Start menu.
• Use the Windows Taskbar.
• Explore Control Panel.
• Find information about your computer system.
• Update Windows system files.
• End a computing session.

This chapter will help you quickly become familiar with the Windows 7 user interface and the tools you’ll use to interact with your computer’s operating system.

Each time you turn on your computer, it goes through a startup process during which it loads the system files necessary for you to interact with your computer and for your computer to interact with other devices, such as the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. When the startup process is complete, you log on to Windows 7 by providing identification information that uniquely identifies you to the system. After you log on, Windows 7 presents a working environment individually tailored to your preferences. The process might sound somewhat complicated, but in actual practice, it’s quite simple.

When you first set up your computer, or if it’s been a while since you used it, it’s a very good idea to check for and install any updates released by Microsoft to keep your system running smoothly. You can configure Windows 7 to update itself with available updates at regularly scheduled intervals (provided your computer is on). By setting up automatic updating, you can be sure that your computer system always includes the most current features and security tools.

When you finish working with your computer, you can either shut down the computer entirely or leave it running in various ways. For example, you can log off from Windows 7 to end your computing session, lock the computer to restrict access to your session, or put the computer into Sleep mode to conserve power.

---

(Exploring the Desktop…) Another way icons might appear on your desktop is if you save or move files or folders there. For example, if you download a program or other file from the Internet that you’ll need to use only once, you might save it on your desktop so that you can quickly find it, use it, and then delete it. When you install a program on your computer, you often have the option of creating a shortcut to it on the desktop. (Some installation programs automatically create a desktop shortcut, but others give you the courtesy of choice.) If you created desktop shortcuts before upgrading your computer operating system to Windows 7, your existing desktop shortcuts are still available after you upgrade.

Pointing to an item on the desktop displays a ScreenTip indicating its function or properties.

Below each icon on the desktop is the name of the item it represents. If the name is too long to fit onto two lines, it is truncated by an ellipsis (…) when not selected and displayed in full when you click it, or sometimes when you click the desktop. When you point to an icon, a ScreenTip containing identifying information appears. Pointing to a program shortcut, for example, displays the location of the file that starts the program. Pointing to a file displays the file name, type, size, and modification date. You can start a program, open a folder or file, or jump to a network location or Web site by double-clicking the associated icon or shortcut.

Tip You can create your own shortcuts to programs, to specific folders or files, to other computers, or to Web sites, on the desktop or in any other folder. You can delete an item from the desktop as you would from any folder. When you delete a shortcut, however, you aren’t actually deleting the linked program, folder, or file—only the link to that item.

See Also For information about creating desktop shortcuts, see “Creating Shortcuts” in Chapter 5, “Manage Folders and Files.”

Excerpt from Chapter 4:

Navigate Windows and Folders

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

• Work with windows.
• Understand files, folders, and libraries.
• Find your way around your computer.
• Connect to network resources.
• Find specific information.

To simplify the way you work with files on your computer, Windows uses a hierarchical storage system to organize information on your computer in a way similar to the way you would organize information in an office. Instead of organizing pieces of paper in cardboard folders in filing cabinets, you organize electronic files in electronic folders on the storage disks accessible to your computer.

You use Windows Explorer to look at the folders and files stored on your computer. With earlier versions of Windows, the Windows Explorer window could display the contents of only one folder at a time. With Windows 7, you can look at the contents of multiple folders in one window, by adding the folders to a library. This new feature allows you to easily access files while still maintaining an organizational system.

No matter how organized you are and how skillful you become at working with libraries, sometimes you might not remember where you stored a particular file. No problem! Windows 7 includes powerful search features that can help you almost instantly locate files and other information on your computer.

In this chapter, you’ll first learn how to size, arrange, hide, and otherwise manage windows on your desktop. You’ll learn about the standard file storage structure Windows 7 uses, and about the types of files you’ll find on your Windows 7 computer. Then you’ll explore the Windows 7 file storage structure. You’ll also experiment with searching for files by using the different search methods that are available.

---

(Finding Specific Information) In this exercise, you’ll quickly locate items on your computer. You will then use advanced criteria in the Search Results folder to look for other files and will open the Preview pane to help identify the correct file.

SET UP You need the practice files located in your Documents\Microsoft Press\Windows7SBS\Navigation folder to complete this exercise.

1. Click the Start button.

The Start menu opens with the cursor blinking in the Start menu Search box.

2. In the Start menu Search box, type ice.

As you type the search term, Windows filters the program files, folders, and e-mail messages stored on your computer.

3. Point to each file in the search results in turn.

A ScreenTip displays the properties of each file you point to.

The properties shown in a ScreenTip vary based on the file type.

If you get in the habit of entering properties for your files, this handy trick can help you quickly identify the file you want.

See Also For information about file properties, see “Working with Folder and File Properties” in Chapter 5, “Manage Folders and Files.”

4. At the bottom of the search results list, click See more results.

The Search Results In Indexed Locations window opens, displaying the full list of results. You can change the view and sort the files the same way you would with any folder.

Moving to the Cloud: Where it worked and where I was challenged

I am running a whole environment at home to experience our technology. However, up to now it was all “on premise”, no Cloud integration. This has to change. Therefore I was more than happy to join our internal  Hosted Exchange 14 beta program. We are offering the hosted Exchange program to Live@Edu – but we can use it for Friends and Families as well – which I wanted to do. There were a few requirements I had:

• As I am hosting (or better: was hosting) quite some mailboxes for my family ending on @halbheer.ch and @halbheer.info, I needed a migration which is smooth and easy and gives me the possibility to move back on premise, whenever I feel like it
• Due to historical reasons, I am hosting two domains for one mailbox. So, roger@halbheer.ch and roger@halbheer.info – that’s just me
• I want to have Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 Technical Preview as the client
• My users are real end-users, so I do not want to have any impact on them (well I have but that’s something for later)

This was my starting point. I then looked at outlook.com. The information about outlook.com is on help.outlook.com. After studying the webiste (yes, I read the manual) I decided to go for it - and started this Friday.

The migration by itself was basically straight-forward:

• Signing up for the service for halbheer.ch
• Adding the mailboxes, which are needed (this can be automated via scripts – samples are included on the help-site)
• Adding a few DNS records (e.g. SRV, autodiscovery)
• Changing all the DNS records (MX, SPV)
• Confirming the setup and making sure it is active
• Signing up for the service for halbheer.info (as a secondary domain)

The admin website just looks like this:

So, it is easy to do and straight-forward. You can even have a joint address book with external people you want to have in your organization.

It was time to get ready for the first Outlook client. As the environment requests – well, even requires – autodiscovery, this is only a matter of setting the DNS-servers right. The reason why autodiscovery is required is simple: When our Exchange Online people decide to move our mailboxes to a different server, Outlook shall automatically change the configuration. After a few hiccups, this simply worked. Take Outlook, add an account, use your e-mail address and the password and the rest is done by Outlook.

And that was it! I was pretty much impressed – it took me a little bit more than an hour and then I switched off my Exchange server. This sound too good to be true – well, it is not that easy…

Let’s briefly look into a few considerations when doing something like this:

Basically, there are different levels of could services. Christofer Hoff, Cisco made a good distinction based on the OSI model:
and then he maps it to the security controls:

Clearly I use Software as a Service in this model. I move my whole mail-system to the cloud. Therefore I have to address a few questions:

Compliance, Policy Enforcement and Risk Mitigation: This is not a big deal in my case – however, it might be one for you. I am using here a free, beta service. There are some policy options you can enforce in this given service through Powershell. However, if you enter a deal to outsource a service, make sure you understand how you can ensure policy compliance. From a risk perspective, I significantly reduced the risks with regards to availability – which was my goal. I actually transferred it.

Data Security and Control: From my point of view, this is probably the “easiest” of all challenges for an e-mail application. There are basically two options to protect the confidentiality of your mails: You can use S/MIME and encrypt the mails or use Rights Management Services, which does much more than to encrypt the mail – it protects if from forwarding, copying etc. As long as you control the key and/or access to the services (in the case of RMS), you are pretty much safe. The problem stays with the contacts, tasks and calendar which you cannot encrypt nor RMS-protect. In my case, this is not a problem and we have to see –again – the scope of the service I use.

Service Availability and Reliability: Well, this was the real reason, why I moved to the cloud. This is now not my problem anymore and I guess that Microsoft has more experience running such a service and a little bit more capacity than me…

Application Security: In the case of mail, there is no real difference on the application layer security between on-premise and in the Cloud as we both use Exchange. The only discussion point here is about patch management. This is now outsourced as well. I guess we are on par here as my servers are usually updated(and rebooted!) within a few days after the release of a security update.

Identity and Interoperability: Leaves the biggest one in the cloud in my opinion – the identity (interoperability is not really a problem in the mail scenario). As this offering is targeted at a service we call Live@Edu, where we offer Live services to the education sector, the identity management problem is solved as it bases transparently on LiveID to deliver the service. The accounts are generated if necessary as soon as you create the mailbox. Transparent and easy. In my case it was a bigger challenge as I am running my on-premise domain. Currently in this environment we would need to be able to federate my on-premise identity out to the Live environment, which is not a scenario, which is supported with the mail service offered. What you can do is a GAL sync to synchronize your Active Directory environment with the Exchange environment, which already helps you to keep the accounts in line. However, to me the whole area of federated identities and claims-based identities will most probably be the big theme of the cloud.

A few final challenges and remarks: So, after the migration, everything works well and fine and smooth – well, until I realized that there are a lot of internal services, which count of an accessible SMTP-server which does not require authentication (sometimes this is solvable) but for sure no encryption. SCOM, WSUS, SharePoint, my NAS, my Access Points, my Photo Gallery – just to name a few. All of a sudden a service, which was offered internally, is not offered anymore… I finally solved this as well – but honestly, this was the biggest junk of work at the end of the day. The whole planning of the migration did not consider such dependencies – or better: My planning of the migration… The dependencies in your network should not be underestimated. Especially the ones you never knew of…

Roger

Exchange, not Gmail in DC Government

I was in Redmond last week when the news broke about Apps.gov – the US governments moves in to the cloud and I was as surprised as a few others around me that Microsoft didn’t feature at all in the announcement or the portal for the effort.

It’s a sterling effort by the government there and we should applaud the way they’re embracing the cloud and hope other governments follows. The Microsoft On The Issues blog did just that.

One thing I feel compelled to point out though – the DC government runs on Exchange, not GMail as the coverage last week may have led you to believe.

Nextgov picked up on this last week

Connection from a Windows Service could be blocked by firewall even if firewall is disabled

Recently, I worked on a customer issue. The customer encountered an "error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified" error  although he has applied/verified every steps I posted in the blog:http://www.bing.com/search?q=error+26+blog+protocol&form=QBRE&qs=n

After some investigation, we found that: Windows Firewall is disabled on both server and client machine. Running Portqry from a command window also show that correct information was returned by SQL Browser and the UDP packet is received by the client machine. However, the application (specifically, SQL data access driver layer, e.g. SqlClient, SNAC)  still could not finish the SQL Server configuration discovery process. The strange part is that everything is fine if the app runs as a standalone app. If it runs as a service, we see the error 26. 

Netmon trace shows that no request UDP packet was sent out of the box. The packet must be lost somewhere. Meanwhile, we found Windows Firewall Service  (MpsSvc) is still running although we have disabled Firewall in "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" configuration tool (run wf.msc  from command window). We tried to disable the Firewall service and the issue disappeared. So, obviously, the outgoing UDP packet is blocked by firewall. We engaged with Windows firewall team and found the root cause.

What happened is that since Windows Vista, Windows enhanced security practice for service, which is called Windows Service Hardening (WSH). A service developer can install WSH firewall rule for a specific service. WSH firewall rule has higher priority than regular firewall rules and it would take effect even if firewall has been disabled through wf.msc. In addition, you cannot turn on/off WSH firewall through wf.msc. You can only configure it through programming as of now (or manually edit some registry).

For the customer's case, he has a WSH firewall rule which block all outgoing UDP packets. So the solution is to put exception so that outgoing UDP packet targeting remote UDP port 1434 won't be dropped. Another thing worth mentioning is that WSH firewall will block packet even if the target is local machine. (Usually, Windows firewall never blocks local traffic.)

For further information about WSH, please read:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=network+restrictions+service+hardening&form=QBRE&qs=n

Also, please check the following link on about how to add a WSH firewall rule to allow outgoing connections (to SQL) for your services.
