• Application Requirements Affect Remediation
Techniques
• Recoding an Application
• When source code is available for an
application, it is advisable to have it fixed
• Determine how and when to engage with
development teams
• Third-party buy-a-new-one fix
• Managing costs
• Acquisition process
Shims allow Windows to Change Behavior
• Define standards for when to use this technique:
• Vendor no longer in business
• Internal applications
• Support negotiable
 Shimming applications can be outsourced

OMPM File Scanner (offscan.exe) scans files for conversion issues.
Database creation and import tools
Access-based reporting tool
Office File Converter (OFC) converts files in bulk to the Open XML file
format.
Version Extraction Tool (VET) extracts the contents of a file in Word 2003
and earlier versions and then saves that content to multiple different files.
Macro scanning reports issues found, and optionally provides
comments with links to possible resolution.
X64 migration scanner scans macros and add-ins for 64-bit compatibility.
1. Run the file scanner
2. Import the files into the OMPM database
3. Use OMPM reports to prepare reports from the
data in the OMPM database
4. Based on the report analysis, perform any of the
following:
– Use the Office Code Compatibility Inspector tool
– Use the Office File Convertor
– Use the Version Extraction Tool
OEAT and OMPM
• Troubleshooting tool for VBA code.
• Integrates into Office VBA and VSTO.
• Performs a simple text search for known properties and
methods in the Office COM that have changed.
• Option to comment or mark those areas in the code where
text search has identified a possible COM match.
• Summary of total lines of code scanned as well as total
lines identified as potential candidates for COM changes
• A detailed report, with module name, line number, and
links to remediation for each issue found with possibly a
red or yellow flag for impact guidance. The tool also has
the ability to report on known compatibility of an add-in
based on interaction with a web service provided by
Microsoft.

Planning
 Know what people are using
with application metering
 Determine application
standards
Operating
 Track Application Usage
Delivering
 App-V for deployment
and updates
 Update and Re-deploy Applications
Quickly
 Allocate License Costs Based on
Usage and Need
MOF = Microsoft Operations Framework
• Important to start planning early
• Windows 7 and Office 2010 resources and
tools are available
• Leverage Technet and SA benefits to get
started:
