Microsoft Office Server Extensions
There is a wealth of information available on installing and configuring
the Microsoft Office Server Extensions (OSE). The purpose of this white paper is
to gather the most pertinent information from those sources and combine it with
sound recommendations for how to deploy OSE in a shared hosting environment.
ISPs that provide hosting for multiple customers have some unique configuration
requirements. Therefore, this paper discusses issues such as why to use SQL
Server instead of Microsoft Data Engine in a commercial hosting environment and
why the Active Directory Services Interface can be an ISP s best friend, and it
provides tips such as how to maximize performance when hosting a large number of
Webs and users on a server.
This paper is not meant to be an exhaustive step-by-step instruction manual the
Office Resource Kit provides that detail. Rather, it is meant to help you
understand how OSE fits into your environment so that you can optimize
performance and avoid potential pitfalls.
