Real-Time Presence
and Communication
Enhanced
The Real-Time Presence Smart Tag icon, displayed virtually
everywhere a person’s name appears in Office SharePoint Server
2007, tells you in real time whether a person is online and available
for a telephone or audio conference call, instant messaging, or two-
way video conversation.
Notification Service
Enhanced
Office SharePoint Server 2007 enhances several Notification Service
features:
• Filtering conditions can trigger more relevant alerts to users.
• An extensible platform sends customizable e-mail alerts to users.
• Users participating in a workflow automatically receive e-mail
alerts without subscribing in advance to workflow notifications.
• Users can send content of a changed item in a SharePoint list or
document library along with details of what was changed.
LDAP Pluggable
Authentication
Provider
New
Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes an LDAP pluggable provider for
authenticating users of Office SharePoint Server 2007. This is in
addition to the Active Directory provider included with Windows
SharePoint Services.
User Profiles
Enhanced
User profiles are significantly enhanced with these updated features:
• Profile Store
• Profile Synchronization
• Profile Directory Import
In addition to defining audiences using Active Directory–based
properties, audiences can now be defined using properties imported
from LOB applications such as human resources (HR) or professional
services automation (PSA) solutions.
User profile information is also used by the Notification Service to
target alerts, by Social Networking to deduce common interests and
other properties, and by the Memberships Web Part to display
distribution list and group membership information.
