MS Office and Open Office Integration does not work

I use VirtualBox and I've installed a virtual machine (Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 X64).

On the Linux server I installed "alfresco-enterprise-installer-3.4.0-linux-x64.bin".

I just want to use Alfresco Document Management System (explorer and share) and so I've selected these installoptions:

    - SharePoint
    - Records Management
    - Web Quick Start
    - Web Project Management (AVM)
    - Quickr Connector Support
    + OpenOffice
I also have imported  the user profiles from the Windows Active Directory into Alfresco Explorer (Share).

Different users use Alfresco Explorer to manage (upload, edit, delete, etc.) the documents (MS Office, Open Office, PDF etc.) . The client computers are equipped with Windows 7 x64.

Now I want to integrate MS Office (and OpenOffice) into the Alfresco system, as promised on the Alfresco website. http://www.alfresco.com/products/document-management/ -> "Alfresco looks just like SharePoint to Microsoft Office, allowing users to upload, check-in, check-out and modify content right from Office"

Clients:
    Windows 7 X64
    Firefox 4.0 Beta / Google Chrome 9.0
    MS Office 2007
    Open Office 3.2
    JDK 1.6 / JRE 6
Server:
    Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 X64
    Alfresco 3.4.0 (with Java, MySQL, Tomcat, OpenOffice 3.2)
I have read Alfresco Wiki, but I find no solution for my case (Serve Linux, Client Windows).
Can someone help me? I would be very grateful…
thanks

best regards

Thanks for your help!!!

I imported the users by using NTLMv1, passthru and ldap-ad from the Windows Directory in Alfresco.

And I have installed also  SharePoint module (As Mike has advised me).

As a client computer I have Windows XP and Windows 7 (x64).

With Windows XP everything works really well: MS Office integration, too. (by using with http://myserver:7070/alfresco)

The problem is with Windows 7 and the NTLMv2 authentication. In alfresco.log file is following message
15:52:15,855 WARN [org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.NTLMAuthenticationFilter] NTLM filter, error resolving CIFS host nameSLES11A
    15:52:15,856 INFO [org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.NTLMAuthenticationFilter] NTLM filter using server name sles11
    15:52:15,868 ERROR [org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.NTLMAuthenticationFilter] Client MyPC using NTLMv2 logon, not valid with passthru authentication

My question is: NTLMv2 is a general problem? and what can be done that user authentication in Windows 7 succeed?

Thany your very much in advance
