This paper describes the important mobile broadband driver changes in Windows 7.
Windows® 7 mobile broadband drivers use the new features introduced by Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 6.20. In Windows 7, mobile broadband devices integrate differently with Windows 7 than they did with Windows Vista® and Windows XP, when they appeared to the operating system Ethernet or dial up networking/modem devices. This paper discusses important changes in the mobile broadband drivers for Windows 7. This information applies for the Windows 7 operating system.

The Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool facilitates the gathering of critical system and logging information used in troubleshooting support issues. This information helps diagnose problems in the software quicker and provide solutions. The tool offers the ability to select the particular scenarios for which system configuration data will be collected: General, Internet and Networking, Business Networks, Server Components, Windows Update Services, Exchange Servers and SQL and other Data Stores (MDAC) . Depending on the particular system configuration and the categories selected, Microsoft Product Support Reports might take between 7 to 25 minutes or more to complete the data collection. Please read the readme.txt files for more details about the information collected by each category. There are two executables, that correspond to each specific OS architecture, 32 or 64 bit. Please make sure to download the version that correspond to your system architecture. You may install and use an unlimited number of copies of MPSReports solely for the purpose of gathering system information necessary for your support professional to provide you with technical support services requested by you. All other purposes are not supported by Microsoft. Please refer to the EULA for more detailed information regarding your usage rights. Important Notes MPSReports require the installation of additional prerequisites in order to be executed, as listed in the System Requirements section. Although we do our best for the reporting tool to run without making any registry changes or modifications to the operating system or revert back any changes temporarily performed by the scripts or tools used during the collection, we have identified that under some circumstances the Powershell ExecutionPolicy is not reverted back to the default RemoteSigned value used for most Server configurations. This might need to be changed manually for some Server applications to work after running MPSReports.

neXpert is a Fiddler add-on which helps identify common web performance issues.
neXpert is an add-on to Fiddler which automates the classic performance best practice checks and produces a HTML report on the issues found in a Fiddler capture. neXpert adds the ability to insert step markers in Fiddler sessions to associate network objects together (create transactions). Using these steps, neXpert looks for performance issues and generates a HTML report based on the findings. A TCP model provided by Microsoft Research as well as a rudimentary algorithm to mimic web browser is used to generate response time predictions (Still considered Beta).

SQL Server 2005 features that enable appropriately designed solutions to achieve partial availability and remain online even after a disk subsystem hardware failure.
This paper covers SQL Server 2005 features that enable appropriately designed solutions to achieve partial availability and remain online after a disk subsystem hardware failure. Simple design patterns in SQL Server 2005 can mitigate the risk of the entire database being unavailable due to the failure of one of multiple disk cabinets or arrays. The paper expands on the concept of partial database availability and covers related features and usage. Example scenarios enable developers and architects to take advantage of the features in SQL Server 2005 that support partial database availability when they design solutions for large databases.

This step-by-step guide illustrates how to deploy Active Directory® Group Policy objects (GPOs) to configure Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2008. Although you can configure a single server locally by using Group Policy Management tools directly on the server, that method is not consistent or efficient when you have many computers to configure. When you have multiple computers to manage, create and edit GPOs, and then apply those GPOs to the computers in your organization. Common scenarios, including firewall rule deployment, server and domain isolation, and IPsec tunnel mode configuration are discussed.

Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) is a comprehensive Secure Web Gateway solution that helps protect employees from Web-based threats. Microsoft URL filtering telemetry package can be installed on servers running Forefront TMG Beta3 to assist Microsoft with improving the quality of the URL filtering database and fine-tuning it for your specific business environment.
Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway is a comprehensive Secure Web Gateway solution that helps protect employees from threats on the Web with enterprise-class anti-malware scanning and blocking, URL filtering, Web proxy and caching functionality. Forefront TMG also helps to ensure that encrypted (SSL) Web sessions have the correct security policy applied and enforced according to organizational policy. In addition, it can be used to manage unified perimeter security that protects networks from attacks with an integrated application and network-layer firewall, intrusion detection and response capabilities, VPN connectivity, and management of e-mail security. The newly added protection technologies will enable you to inspect e-mail traffic for spam and malware and enforce content policy compliance in your organization. Last, but not least, Forefront TMG enables IT administrators to easily maximize existing information technology (IT) investments by improving network security and performance. Forefront TMG URL filtering is based on URL categorization services provided by Microsoft Reputation Service (MRS). Installing the Microsoft URL filtering telemetry package assists MRS with improving the quality of the URL filtering database and fine-tuning it for your specific business environment. By allowing MRS to review URL filtering data samples collected from participating Forefront TMG deployments, coverage and accuracy analysis can be performed, and the URL filtering database quality can be enhanced. The URL filtering telemetry package can be installed on servers running Forefront TMG Beta3 Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition. When you install the telemetry package, telemetry reporting is configured with the basic membership level (unless you were already signed in with advanced membership).
