Microsoft Office
RSS (an acronym
for Really Simple Syndication) is a family of
web feed
formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as
blogs, news
feeds or
podcasts. RSS
is analogous to a table of contents. An RSS "feed" provides a table
of contents for a site's content for a certain period of time; it
does not provide the content itself, but links to the content. RSS
is useful because it helps aggregate lots of content into an easily
accessible place.
RSS Feeds provide easy,
up-to-date information, delivered to you straight from the Internet.
Learn the essentials here so that you can find, add, and read the
articles or blogs in an RSS Feed right in Microsoft Outlook 2007, as
conveniently as you receive and read your e-mail.
The Internet contains a
lot of information on just about any topic. For example, you might
use the Internet to read the newspaper or check stock reports. But
finding what you need can be time-consuming.
Wouldn't it be nice if,
instead of surfing and searching, you could simply have information
delivered to you?
Help is here! Take this
course and learn how, with Outlook 2007, your Web browser, and an
Internet connection, you can get the news and information that you
choose, delivered to your own Outlook Mailbox.
After completing this
course you will be able to:
-
Identify Web pages
that contain RSS Feeds.
-
Subscribe to an RSS
Feed and set up Outlook for delivery.
-
Read RSS articles
and blogs in Outlook.
-
Remove an RSS Feed
from Outlook.
-
Choose where RSS
Feed articles are delivered in Outlook.

Taking the Pain out of Server
Recovery
Introduction
 "Complete hardware failure" are three words no IT administrator ever
wants to hear. That is because a complete hardware failure is one of
the most common reasons for a server to go down and to most admins,
recovering a server is one of the most time-consuming and tedious
tasks to perform. Whether your small or mid-sized business is
running one or a handful of servers, there is no doubt any server
failure is costly in terms of lost business and productivity. Find
out what is involved with recovering a server, and learn about a
remote recovery solution that can take the agony out of recovery.
Recovery process
When a server does down, everything on it applications, original
system configurations, updates, etc. is gone. Recovering a server
is not fun, it is not easy, and the complicated process leaves IT
admins holding their breath that each of the following steps
involved goes smoothly:
-
To start the
recovery, it will need to be determined whether the hard drive
can be repaired or if it needs to be completely replaced.
-
Then another
server on which to recover needs to be identified this can be
difficult because it needs to have the identical hardware as the
server that crashed.
-
The original disks
containing the critical system configuration information need to
be located and run.
-
The hard drive
needs to be repartitioned and formatted.
-
The operating
system needs to be reinstalled.
-
All of the
operating system service packs need to be reinstalled and a
reboot is required after every service pack is installed.
-
All of the drivers
must be reinstalled (and reboots happen again).
-
The profiles must
be added.
-
The backup
applications need to be reinstalled so the data can finally be
retrieved.
In some instances this
process can take days, monopolizing one or more of your IT staffs
time and slowing down your business for the whole time. Valuable
manpower is spent working on the problem when it could otherwise be
spent working on other critical tasks. Especially for small and
mid-sized businesses where IT teams are often small and already
stretched thin server recovery is an unwelcome drag on resources.

The Ten Most Important
Security Trends of the Coming Year
Experts Predict the Future
The Ten Most Important Security Trends of the Coming
Year
Mobile
Devices
1. Laptop encryption will be made mandatory at many
government agencies and other organizations that store
customer/patient data and will be preinstalled on new
equipment. Senior executives, concerned about potential
public ridicule, will demand that sensitive mobile data
be protected
2. Theft of
PDA smart phones will grow significantly. Both the value
of the devices for resale and their content will draw
large numbers of
thieves.
Government Action
3. Congress and state governments will pass more
legislation governing the protection of customer
information. If Congress, as expected, reduces the
state-imposed data breach notification requirements
significantly, state attorneys general and state
legislatures will find ways to enact harsh penalties for
organizations that lose sensitive personal information.
Attack
Targets
4. Targeted attacks will be more prevalent, in
particular on government agencies. Targeted cyber
attacks by nation states against US government systems
over the past three years have been enormously
successful, demonstrating the failure of federal cyber
security activities. Other antagonistic nations and
terrorist groups, aware of the vulnerabilities, will
radically expand the number of attacks. Targeted attacks
on commercial organizations will target military
contractors and businesses with valuable customer
information.
