Hi, I have installed Mdk 8.2 on my office m/c dual booting with Windows Nt Server 4. I want to start using Linux for all my office work. But since everything in my office is MS based, I am having slight trouble in that.
Following are the requirements for the same. Someone please help: (1.) I administer MS-SQL Server 7 database for that I need query analyzer (at least) to do queries. I have developed an application in Java using ODBC to connect to MS-SQL server 7. The application is nothing but an equivalent of Query Analyzer of SQL. Now I want to run this application in Linux. For that I would need ODBC drivers of SQL Server 7.0 Any pointers please. (2.) Internet access is through MS-Proxy and I have station restrictions also as net access is not for everybody because of limited resources. Some sites are also on company intranet. Proxy authentication is not required for these sites, but for internet sites it is required. My problem is - how do i log on to my NT domain using my NT domain login and since my domain login has station restrictions the name of the machine should be shown to PDC as my office machine name. At present my host name for linux is ajitabh.mdk.com. My NT machine name is ajitabh_etb_sda and my domain login is ajitabhp. (3.) Our e-mail server is MS-Exchange 5.0 and we access mail through Outlook 2000. I asked my System Administrator about this and he told me that Exchange is does not follow POP or IMAP protocol but follows a different protocol called MAPI(Messaging API). How do I connect to my Exchange server and download my mail to access. Though we have a web access to the exchange server but that is quite slow and I will not be able to download my mails also. (4.) MS Word and MS-Excel are also required. Though I can read MS-Word files in Linux(I don't know for Excel) but is there something which can save files in these formats. Regards.
