When deploying Alfresco to utilize MySQL as its datastore, there are 2 required downloads to achieve this type of environment.
Another useful tool is MySQL Administrator. Instead of using command line entries, one can use this graphical user interface to manage both local and remote instances of MySQL.
Once MySQL is installed, the user and database will need to be created.
Screenshots on the right depicts creating a new schema, user and assigning privileges.

set NOPAUSE=trueto the beginning of {JBOSS_HOME}\bin\run.bat and {JBOSS_HOME}\bin\shutdown.bat will remove the need to 'Press any key to continue . . . '
If MySQL is the target database, then perform the following:
After downloading the appropriate version from OpenOffice Downloads, it needs to be installed. Where it is installed is important for a couple reasons:
# Path to OpenOffice executable
ooo.exe={ABSOLUTE OPEN OFFICE INSTALLATION PATH}/program/soffice
# Path to store OpenOffice User information
ooo.user=${dir.root}/oouser
Alfresco Community Edition 3.2, like past editions, require binaries of ImageMagick. Binaries can be downloaded from ImageMagick's Download page. Once the proper version has been downloaded, it needs to be installed where Alfresco has the accessibility and permission to execute the convert utility.
When running in a Windows environment, set the environment variable 'PATH' as such:
This value assumes that ImageMagick was installed at this location.
Lastly, there is a property img.root in the repository.properties file. One can override this value by use of the file alfresco.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco-global.properties. Adding an img.root entry with the aforementioned location (c:/ImageMagick) will allow Alfresco to execute the convert binary.
More info at ImageMagick Configuration.
SWF tools can be downloaded from the SWFTools Downloads. Once the appropriate version has been downloaded, it will need to be installed so that Alfresco has access and permission to execute the pdf2swf.exe binary. This utility is used to display PDF documents in a Flash application when viewing the document detail in Alfresco Share.

Out of the box, Alfresco 3.2 Community Edition has been configured as follows:
db.name=alfresco
db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco
These values have been defined in alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties. Additionally, out-of-box, Alfresco is also configured to deploy to MySQL. This means you will have to create a catalog, user and password using 'alfresco'. Should these values require something different, customization configuration files will be needed as part of this deployment. The user that was created for the instance of Alfresco should have all permissions assigned until needed to lock down security (for production mode).
