if you have google crome or opera or firefox or any other browser, add the executable name of the browser (e.g. for Opera C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\opera.exe in place of internet explorer  iexplore.exe in the code mentioned above) and the application hyperlink to open that application.

MOSS2007 evalution version license expired

Evaluation version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for this server has expired

Option 1:

This may happen exactly 180 days after upgrading moss2007 from SP1 to SP2.

Simple way of sorting this is to re-apply the license key from the CA:

Central Administration > Operations > Convert License Type   and then enter the product key and click ok. This may perhaps take more than 2-3 hrs for global sync depending on the FARM size.

Option 2:

ACTION:
Current user updated MOSS2007 and registered his Volume License Key to the MOSS2007 Installation.
Current user tries to Access his "My Site" or Dashboards

RESULT: Current user receives following error:
"The evaluation version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for this server has expired."

CAUSE: Insufficient permissions for the groups WSS_WPG, WSS_ADMIN_WPG to the Registry. The application pool identity for your WSS/MOSS sites *MUST* be in the
"Distributed COM Users" group in order to successfully activate.

RESOLUTION:
We gave group WSS_WPG Read permissions to following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Office Server\12.0
We gave group WSS_ADMIN_WPG Full permissions to the same registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Office Server\12.0

Add application pool Account ("dcomcnfg.exe") to the Distributed users and then reboot the server. 

TELNET Command to Test SMTP Email Authentication

Simple and precise lines for SMTP Test:
you can use rcpt to command for multiple recipients while smtp test is being performed using telnet session.
telnet to your smtp address you should get a reply back saying 'OK' for each command line
-------------------------------------------------
telnet 192.168.110.100 25
HELO yourdomain.com
MAIL FROM: Test@abc.com
RCPT TO: 123@abc.com
RCPT TO: 345@abc.com
DATA
Subject:((Test Email..!!))
This is an automated email.


.
QUIT
-------------------------------------------------
fyi: you will get error for 501 5.5.4 Unrecognized parameter, if you do any correction with the typed command line under telnet session. delete and backspace commands are not accepted. you have to type command without errors.
Note that the above code cannot be automated in a script as TELNET itself is a power shell. So telnet to smtp server port will take you to another console and the rest of communication commands will not work IF you make a batch file of the above code. For which the best method is to use vb script to send automated emails. Sending emails using this method can be used for alerting Admins after completion of an automated process.

Send Email using VBScript

VB Script to send email in a structured method

copy the below code to a notepad and save it in yourname.vbs and execute. You will note how to fetch the logged on username info, how to get hostname as well as domain name to a string, in addition to displaying email body fields.
