Johan posted a timely reminder of a long-standing perennial support call generator in his post Office Automation . Adding one more option to the list of possible workarounds – direct XML-based production/manipulation of an OOXML (or ODF, for that matter)

Just a quickie – the rule is blog what you know, but I figure my speculation might be good enough here. A friend gave me an HDMP file and asked what I could make of it. After the usual “I could make a hat! Or a brooch! Or a dinosaur!” type stuff, I realized

Hi Everybody! I've been laying low for a while, in read-only mode, sorting, filtering, evaluating and generally catching up on stuff! So, why break radio silence now? Well, I'm popping up to offer a quick endorsement for the Mesh platform, which was recently

I've been doing this support thing for a while now. Frequently, the basics are what get overlooked when troubleshooting an issue, particularly an issue that seems complex on the surface. Often, though, you'll find that the detailed techniques lead you

New modules, supported by Microsoft, are now officially RTMd (RTWd?) and available for use with IIS 7.0. WebDAV Yay new WebDAV! Yay being able to enable it on specific parts of a site! Yay better!

What can we say about MaxUserPort that hasn't already been said? Not a lot, it would seem. He's a beautiful dancer, perhaps? Ahh, such gentle humour, and nary a kitten drowned anywhere. But TCP port shenanigans are fairly frequently misunderstood, so

While having a seemingly-innocuous chat with a colleague, I was asked to "throw together a few points" on what IIS 7.0 would do for a web application I've worked with in the past. Serves me right for talking to people , really. In this application's

All this stuff is based on a prerelease (RC1) version of Windows Server 2008 and may change before final release. Cheques may not be honoured. I had a happy moment one night in India when the trainer for our IIS 7.0 TTT course discussed some of the Kerberos-related

You're running an IIS 6.0 website, and you have a virtual directory configured for anonymous authentication only (that is, you've un ticked Integrated Windows Authentication). Using a web browser, you try to access a file in that virtual directory. http://example.com/vdir/something.txt

This week, a pointer to a solution to a problem I occasionally hit. Windows Vista (and by extension Windows Server 2008, I assume) utilizes a new EVTX log format for event log exports. It's XML-based, natch. Problem: Everyone's Favourite Log Digestion

The traitorous malcontent (and former MVP) that left my cubicle for greener pastures has set up his own (shiny! new!) little shack on the intarwebs, discussing Sharepoint of all things. I mean, I know he's in the Sharepoint support team now, but honestly

Building from Paul Long's post on stopping a Netmon3 capture on a particular event , we're going to re-jig it so that we can run ADPLUS soon after a particular event is logged. This won't produce a dump at the exact moment of the event log (which more

Hit this earlier while working with someone else on a Kerberos delegation problem. All the SPNs looked right and were registered against the right accounts; all the App Pools were Network Service; from what I'd been told, everything should have been working...

No - SQL 2005 and Biztalk 2004 aren't currently supported together, except with an "arm's length" SQL data adapter. The primary BTS2004 database still has to be SQL 2000. References: 915919 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is not currently supported for Microsoft

I've seen a few variations on this question come up recently, generally of the form: "We have Windows XP clients and require IIS 7.0 to be installed on them when our application is installed on them. Is there a redist?" In short, no. (Note that this question
