Overview
The Microsoft Filter Pack is a single point-of-distribution for Office IFilters. IFilters are components that allow search services to index content of specific file types, letting you search for content in those files. They are intended for use with Microsoft Search Services (Sharepoint, SQL, Exchange, Windows Search).

Install this product if you want to search for content in the file types listed below.

The Filter Pack includes:

Legacy Office Filter (97-2003; .doc, .ppt, .xls)
Metro Office Filter (2007; .docx, .pptx, .xlsx)
Zip Filter
OneNote filter
Visio Filter
Publisher Filter
Open Document Format Filter

Language packs enable creation of sites and site collections in multiple languages without requiring separate installations of SharePoint Server 2010, Project Server 2010, Search Server 2010, and Office Web Apps 2010. Multiple language packs can be installed on the same server. Application of a Language Pack will not change the language of the installed Microsoft server product, or the language of the administrative features.

Notes

You do not need to download a language pack for the language you installed, these language packs are to support creation of additional languages.

Brief Description
The Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) with Service Pack 1 (SP1) unifies management of Group Policy across the enterprise. The GPMC consists of a MMC snap-in and a set of programmable interfaces for managing Group Policy.

Overview
GPMC simplifies the management of Group Policy by making it easier to understand, deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Group Policy implementations. GPMC also enables automation of Group Policy operations via scripting.

GPMC can be used to manage Windows Server 2003 as well as Windows 2000-based Group Policy implementations. Customers who have at least one valid license of Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server can obtain and use an unlimited number of copies of GPMC. Please see the End User License Agreement (EULA) provided with the GPMC software for details on licensing terms.

Key features delivered via GPMC include:

A unified graphical user interface (GUI) that makes Group Policy much easier to use.
Backup/restore of Group Policy objects (GPOs).

Import/export and copy/paste of GPOs and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filters.
Simplified management of Group Policy–related security.
HTML reporting for GPO settings and Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) data.
Scripting of Group Policy related tasks that are exposed within this tool (not scripting of settings within a GPO).

Prior to GPMC, administrators were required to use several Microsoft tools to manage Group Policy. GPMC integrates the existing Group Policy functionality exposed in these tools into a single, unified console, along with the new capabilities listed above.

Brief Description
GUI and a Command Line Interface to enable Access-based Enumeration.

Overview
Windows Server 2003 Access-based Enumeration makes visible only those files or folders that the user has the rights to access. When Access-based Enumeration is enabled, Windows will not display files or folders that the user does not have the rights to access. This download provides a GUI and a CLI that enables this feature.

SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases 

Microsoft has created 40 application templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 that are available for download at the SharePoint Products and Technologies Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=85166&clcid=0x409).

Application templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 are separated into two groups, site admin templates and server admin templates.

Site admin templates are custom templates that are easy for any SharePoint site administrator to install into the template gallery.

Server admin templates were created as site definitions, enabling tighter integration and enhanced functionality with the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 platform. They require administrator permissions on the server to install.

You can update your Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 installation by using the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to reconfigure Outlook settings, save the updated settings in a file, and apply this file to your users' installations. You can use the OCT to update feature settings as well as to reconfigure options in Outlook profiles.

 Note: 
Updating Outlook profiles by distributing a new PRF file is another strategy that you might choose. For example, if you saved a PRF file with your users' Outlook profile configurations when you installed Outlook and you are making minor changes to the profile, you might choose to make the change in the PRF file and distribute the files to users. For more information about updating profiles by using a PRF file, see Apply an Outlook Profile (PRF) File to configure Outlook profiles.
 
Using the OCT to update your installation, you can, for example, specify features to install or uninstall, change Outlook options to a new default value, deploy registry key settings, choose to modify existing profiles (for example, to move users to a new Microsoft Exchange server) or add new profiles (for all users).

The OCT is run from users' computers by using Office Setup with the /Admin option. When it runs, you can configure options, then save them in a Setup customization file to run on the client computer.

Overview
Forefront TMG Client can be installed on client computers protected by Forefront TMG 2010. Forefront TMG Client provides HTTPS inspection notifications, automatic discovery, enhanced security, application support, and access control for client computers. It provides authentication for Winsock applications that use TCP and UDP, supports complex secondary protocols, and supplies user and application information to Forefront TMG 2010 logs.

When a client computer running Forefront TMG Client makes a request, the destination is evaluated by the Forefront TMG Client software, and external requests are directed to the Forefront TMG 2010 computer for handling. No specific routing infrastructure is required. Forefront TMG Client sends user information transparently with each request, enabling you to create a firewall policy on the Forefront TMG 2010 computer with rules that use the authentication credentials presented by the client. Forefront TMG 2010 allows you to configure automatic discovery for Forefront TMG Client computers, using: Active Directory, WPAD entry in DNS, or DHCP to obtain correct Web proxy settings for clients, depending on their location.

For more information about Forefront TMG Client, see Firewall Client Basics: Introduction to the ISA Server Firewall Client and Forefront TMG Client at the Microsoft TechNet site
