You´ll learn the settings best suited for your situation and go step by step through the configuration process so you´ll end up with the most effective configuration for your organization´s needs.
Configuring users and groups can be a long and painful process unless you know the tricks to getting it done quickly and easily, and that´s what you´ll find out in this informative session. We´ll show you how to add users and groups to your MOSS 2007 system with just a few clicks of the mouse.
