I've been asked to look at implementing SSO from an iPad to a SharePoint 2007 installation.
This could use ISA Server 2006 or any other product.
Is this possible? If so how?
I was thinking installing client certificates on an iPad, using them on the ISA Server, and then passing the credentials of that user through to SharePoint?
What are your experiences with Information Rights Management for Sharepoint 2007?
Can it lock an Excel spreadsheet, so it can't be printed, distributed, or copied except by certain groups of users?
We have a test system built with Windows Server 2008 64-bit Standard edition.
We're about to create a production environment. Aside from the guidance that it is a good idea to keep test and live as closely sync'd as possible, is there any reason to, or not to, install Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit standard edition instead?
This is for 2 SharePoint farms, running on 10 VM's, with 24 cores and roughly 128GB of memory in total.

We're planning on having an active stack and a warm standby stack, where the sql server databases are mirrored.

I've been told we need to, based on Microsoft's licencing terms and conditions.

We have between 100 - 200 servers at two sites located in a 3rd party hosting provider.
(Not a company anyone would recognise.)
Various technical staff are proposing moving to another hosting providor (like Amazon).
The main reasons for this are:
What are the key issues to be addressed in moving all servers from 1 provider to another.
The servers come in all sorts, with multiple OS's, a complex zoned network, and multiple virtualization software types used.
Updates:
They're all dedicated hosts, which are rented from the provider over a fixed period. (That's one of the problems, the inflexibility of the current arrangement.)
During the move, limited downtime is fine. (Weekends, late at night etc.)
