The Microsoft Assessment Planning Toolkit is updated to provide better assessments for Office 2010. This slide is offered to provide a snapshot of MAP provides – the tools drill down module provides additional details on the tool. In the case of an Office deployment this a very good high level tool to begin the assessment and planning. This is the suggested starting point as you being the planning for the Office 2010 deployment. Secure and Agentless Inventory: MAP provides secure, agentless, and network-wide inventory that scales from small business to large enterprises. It collects and organizes system resources and device information from a single networked computer. Its unique agent-less inventory technologies allow remote assessment of clients, servers, applications, devices and roles – all without deploying any software agents to the machines on your customer’s network. Assessment tools often require users to first deploy software agents on all computers to be inventoried, but this tool does not. MAP uses technologies already available in your IT environment to perform inventory and assessments. These technologies include Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the Remote Registry Service, Active Directory Domain Services, and the Computer Browser service. Supported platforms (for reference only): * Windows 7 * Windows Vista * Windows XP® Professional * Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 * Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2 * Windows 2000 Professional or Windows 2000 Server * VMware ESX * VMware ESXi * VMware Server Initial Readiness: Reviews hardware and inventories current software within the scope of the scan – it does not inventory this data, but it interprets the current data set with recommendations for the next step. Output: Output provides a starting point for both hardware adjustments and an understanding of current Office products, i.e. have all machines really been upgraded to 2007, etc. The output provides a detailed inventory with concrete next steps. Comprehensive Data Analysis: MAP performs a detailed analysis of hardware and device compatibility for migration to Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Application Virtualization, and Windows Vista. The hardware assessment looks at the installed hardware and determines if migration is recommended. If migration is not recommended, the reports will explain why. The device assessment looks at the devices installed on a computer and reports availability of drivers for those devices. Device assessment is provided for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista migration scenarios. For customers interested in server consolidation and virtualization through technologies such as Hyper-V and Virtual Server 2005 R2, this tool helps to gather performance metrics and generate server consolidation recommendations that identify the candidates for server virtualization and how the physical servers might be placed in a virtualized environment. In-Depth Readiness Reporting: MAP generates reports containing both summary and detailed assessment results for each migration scenario. The results are provided in Microsoft Excel workbooks and Microsoft Word documents. Reports are generated for the following scenarios. Reports are generated for the following scenarios: * Identification of currently installed Windows client operating systems, their hardware, and recommendations for migration to Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The tool also reports if desktops have anti-virus and anti-malware programs installed and if the Windows Firewall is turned on. * Identification of currently installed Windows Server operating systems, their hardware, and recommendations for migration to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008. * Identification of currently installed Microsoft Office software and recommendations for migration to Microsoft Office 2007. * Detailed assessment and reporting of server utilization gathered using the Performance Metrics Wizard. * Recommendations for server consolidation and virtual machine placement using Hyper-V or Virtual Server 2005 R2. * Assessment of client machines, servers, and the technology environment for the implementation of Microsoft Application Virtualization (formerly SoftGrid). * Identification of machines where Microsoft SQL Server components are installed. * Identification of virtual machines, their hosts, and details about each. * Power Savings Assessment: Create a proposal to identify server and client machines running in your environment and understand the power management capabilities available. In the case of the current MAP tool (MAP 4.0) only the Excel report is generated. 1. What’s Available Today: The current MAP 4.0 can be used in the Office 2010 planning, as you have the option to manipulate the system requirements. The scan will continue to indicate 2007 migrations but technically this can be used as your 2010 assessment. Use the Office 2007 assessment at this time to begin your Office 2010 deployment planning. When using this assessment you can adjust the requirements to meet the Office 2010 requirements during the analysis. The report will only show upgrade to 2007 but in this case will provide an initial readiness for 2010. It is important to note this is NOT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY – you must use the OEAT/CI tools for these purposes. 2. Benefits: * Offer Fast, Scalable and Agent-less Inventory * Auto-Generate Actionable Assessments and Proposals * Shorten IT Planning Time * Plan for Multiple Microsoft Products from One Tool – not just office Top Questions: 1. Is this tool secure? MAP requires the user to enter local admin credentials for the client machines and servers; non-admin user cannot gain access to the machines and will get no results from the MAP tool. MAP encrypts the data traffic from the MAP machine to the assessed server and client machines. MAP does not persist or store any credentials required for WMI to remotely gather information on the server and client machines. 2. How much data traffic do we get? A typical network of desktops would typically see 300kB to 1MB per PC of data traffic generated by MAP. 3. What’s the impact on each computer? Very minimal. The MAP tool only pings about 30 machines at any given instance.
The Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) is a resource provided by Microsoft to help customers and partners size up potential file migration issues. This slide is offered to provide a snapshot of what OMPM provides – the tools drill down module provides additional details this tool and how it can be leveraged. OMPM is a collection of tools that enables you to prepare your environment for migration to the 2010 Microsoft Office system. OMPM checks for, and reports on, file properties to help you analyze your environment and determine any issues that you might experience converting from Office 97-Office 2003 file formats to the new 2010 Office system file format. OMPM includes the following features: OMPM focuses primarily on converting old files to the new file formats. When OMPM shows an error or highlights a warning on a file; That does not mean the file will not open in the 2010 Office system (almost all older files can open in compatibility mode). It only means that saving it into the new Open XML format might cause problems. OMPM has 4 components discussed in more detail below: 1. Scanner 2. Database 3. Reporting Tools See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179179.aspx for additional information (Note only the Office 2007 is available until near Office 2010 RTM – this version can be used to begin assessments)
The Office Environment Assessment Tool is part of the App Compat kit located on TechNet. This slide is offered to provide a snapshot of OEAT provides – the app compat drill down module provides additional details this tool and others in the app compatibility kit. OEAT is a new tool being made available with Office 2010, which enables a comprehensive assessment of the installed add-ins and programs which interface with the Office applications. OEA Tool is not intended to run as a complete inventory analysis on all desktops, but should be used to sample and gather statistics. Add-in compatibility verified by centralized list. *note scans can be performed with non-admin permissions. Not only does it scan and inventory but it offers a service to identify add-ins and applications that have been documented as being supported with Office 2010 via a service (xml file) compiled and hosted by Microsoft.
Group Policy Admin templates By setting policies, you can define and maintain a particular Office 2010 configuration on users' computers. Unlike other customizations, such as default settings that are distributed in a transform (also known as an .mst file), policies are reapplied every time that a user logs on to the network. Alternatively, policies can be reapplied at some other interval that is set by the administrator. Users cannot edit the registry to change the policies. You can set policies that apply to the local computer (and to every user of that computer), or you can set policies that apply only to individual users. You set per-computer policies under Computer Configuration in the Group Policy snap-in. Per-computer policies are applied the first time that any user logs on to the network from that computer. You set per-user policies under User Configuration in the Group Policy snap-in. Per-user policies are applied when the specified user logs on to the network from any computer. To use an Office 2010 policy template, you must load the template in the Group Policy Microsoft Management Console snap-in.
Document is opened from an untrusted location – in this example an external email attachment. The doc is immediately opened for view but it is sandboxed so any harmful code would be contained. Note users can view the document, even copy content from the document w/out taking any additional actions. The user can get more details if they wish – displayed in the backstage – this step is optional. Once the user clicks Enable editing button the doc is made available for edit with all of the application features. If the user opens the same doc again the selection is recalled and it will automatically open w/out the protected viewer.
