Just looking on the error message it seems that something was missing in the Windows Registry. I opened Registry Editor and browsed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange. The Setup key was missing. Exchange 2007 management tools were installed to another server than Exchange Server was installed. I logged on the Exchange 2007 server, opened Registry Editor and browsed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange key.  The Setup folder was visible and I right-clicked on the Setup folder and exported the Setup branch.

I went back to my Exchange 2007 Management installed server and imported the reg file.

After importing the reg file my problem was solved and I had another challenge with Export-Mailbox cmdlet.

I installed the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.2 today and followed the instructions I found on the following links:

• http://www.joiningdots.net/blog/2007/05/sharepoint-2007-and-adobe-pdf.html
• http://blogs.msdn.com/ifilter/archive/2007/03/29/indexing-pdf-documents-with-adobe-reader-v-8-and-moss-2007.aspx

Searching with some keyword of the PDF files the result returned nothing. PDF files were not index.

Reviewed the Crawl log and found failing messages for PDF files:

Crawled (The filtering process could not process this item. This might be because you do not have the latest file filter for this type of item. Install the corresponding filter and retry your crawl. )

I also tried to add the path system variable to the Adobe Reader installation folder and did another full index but this did not help.

The solution for the problem was changing two registry entries:

• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf and change Default Reg_Multi_SZ value to

{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}

• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf and change Default Reg_Multi_SZ value to

{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}

After these registry entries have been modified run iisreset; “net stop osearch” and “net start osearch”. Re-run the full index crawler on your content.

Thanks to the community I got the PDF icon and the PDF search working on the Sharepoint 2007 platform!

Follow the hyperlinks below to get this done in your Sharepoint 2007 configuration:

• Icons are not displayed for Adobe PDF documents that are listed in the search results when you search your portal site in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or in SharePoint Server 2007
• Sharepoint 2007 and Adobe PDF

My work log:

• Logon on the old Windows Server 2003 hosting the OWA front-end role
• Start MMC and add the Certificate Snap-In; choose the Computer Account.
• Go to Personal/Certificates and locate the SSL certificate assigned to IIS for SSL encryption. Right click ; All Tasks and choose export. Choose the appropriate options like the certificate path; assign password and save the PFX file to "My Documents"
• Copy the PFX file to your Windows Server 2008 Client Access Server
• Logon on the Windows Server 2008 and add the Certificate Snap-In to a new MMC console for the Computer Account
• Go to Personal/Certificates; right click; All Tasks and choose Import.

• Locate the PFX file; enter the password and make sure you check "Mark this key as exportable" to enable future migrations of the SSL certificate.
• Place the certificate in the Personal Store

• Open the certificate and go to Details tab. Locate the Thumprint field and select Value with mouse; press CRTL-C to copy the data.

• Paste the value in Notepad and replace the "SPACE’ with CRTL-H. In the Find what field press space on the keyboard and click Replace All

• Copy the Thumbprint
• Start the Exchange Management Shell and run the Enable-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet
• Type IIS as Services and paste the copied data from Notepad to Thumbprint

• Start Exchange Management Console and go to Server Configuration /  Client Access / Select the server and open owa from Outlook Web Access tab
• Type External URL of the SSL certificate and DNS. E.g. https://webmail.domain.tlk

• Click OK and you are finished to test the configuration.
• Start IE and test your OWA role. Review your NAT and Firewall rules also.

InfoPath cannot open the following file: http://sharepoint/ChangeMgmt/Forms/abc.xml InfoPath cannot open the form. To fix the problem, contact your system administrator.
Form template: http://sharepoint/ChangeMgmt/Forms/solution.xsn. There is an error in the form’s cache. To correct the error, open the form again.

This was my solution is solving the problem. Before you start clean the Internet Explorer Cache!

For Windows Vista

• Locate C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InfoPath\FormCache2 and delete complete folder. If this fails than rename the subfolders to something else like abc and try again. I got a warning and the action failed if I did not rename the folder.
• Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12>INFOPATH.EXE /cache clearall

For Windows 2000/XP

• Locate C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\InfoPath\FormCache2 and delete the folder.
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12>INFOPATH.EXE /cache clearall

After these steps my Infopath forms opened again

I did not install the WS-Management service before and I found somewhere to install the Hardware Management option in Add/Remove Windows Components to get this working.

Than I retried to add the server as host in SCVMM but the installation stopped with the message below.

Error (421) Agent installation failed on ref-vmh-02 because of a WS-Management configuration error.

I reboot the server couple of times; reviewed the eventlog and nothing worked to get the Virtual Machine Manager 2007 agent installed. There is hotfix which you can use and install the WinRM component manually without control panel. Go here and download and install the fix http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=84599. This fixed my problem and errors 10101 WinRM in the application eventlog.

You can also upgrade from command line. I used gui mode to illustrate the process.

Setup.com /mode:upgrade

 

Check the hyperlink at Technet for all updates within SP1 What’s New in Exchange Server 2007 SP1. I like to integration with Windows Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 Sp1, Exchange Management console updates and the OWA premium changes.

Download SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe from here.

Run SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe and accept the Software Terms. Click Continue…

Click Office button; save as and choose PDF or XPS

That’s all and for free. If you put the SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe in the installation folder named “Updates” than it will automatically be installed as part of the installation routine. As far I remember Microsoft was not allowed to have this included by default and we as users are forced to first download the binaries from the internet.

The published calendar is based on the iCalendar exchange standard which is defined in RFC 2445. I love the Mircosoft’s integration and smooth registration on the internet. Check out my howto to configure this with your own Outlook 2007 calendar. 

"Your account in Microsoft Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings.  Contact your Exchange Server administrator.
Support code: 0×85010004"

Before it was published with NAT and I have never seen this warning. I was not able to sync the mobile device anymore.

To fix this problem locate the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory in IIS MMC and uncheck Require secure channel (SSL) checkbox. Restart IIS.

This fixed my problem. Make sure you configure the internal SSL bridge to encrypt the data behind your ISA firewall. The communication between ISA and Exchange 2007 is not encrypted which is fine for lab, but for production generate a computer certificate on both ends for encrypted communication.

If you manually install SCVMM 2007 than Virtual Machine Manager 2007 Server Setup wizard may stop just before the installation is finished. I have also seen errors within the available SCVMM 2007VHD appliance from Microsoft’s website. Jobs are failing and Manager complaining about network paths incorrect.

Main reason why the setup fails is that the computername contains ‘-’ . For example I named the server REF-SCVMM-01 and the setup failed with error id 2917.

• The network path was not found on the REF-SCVMM-01. Ensure that the share name provided maps to a valid local path, and then try the operation again. ID: 2917. Details: The network path was not found.

In the background PowerShell is not able to get the computername variable correct within the scripts it uses. In my case I renamed the computername to REF_SCVMM_01 and setup finished successfully.

Make sure you read the following Knowledge Base article 940349 and install the VSS patch.
