.HDMP and .MDMP files
23 September 08 07:12 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
Generic Troubleshooting: "Is it still a problem?"
28 April 08 05:38 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
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 Read More...

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!

MaxUserPort - what it is, what it does, when it's important
11 March 08 05:17 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
What's in IIS 7.0 for me?
29 February 08 01:16 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
SetSPN improvements in Windows Server 2008! W00t!
21 December 07 05:21 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
401.3, you say? Not 403?
22 October 07 08:35 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
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 Read More...
Tip o' the Week: WEVTUTIL for EVTX/EVT file conversion
05 October 07 05:19 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
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 Read More...
Generating a memory dump when a particular event log occurs
18 July 07 04:18 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
KDC_ERR_BADOPTION when attempting constrained delegation
18 June 07 06:50 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
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... Read More...
Can I use SQL Server 2005 as the Biztalk Server 2004 database?
13 June 07 11:17 AM | tristank | 1 Comments   
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 Read More...
FAQ: How can I bundle IIS 6.0 (or IIS 7.0) with my application on an older OS?
23 April 07 12:24 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
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 Read More...
Kerbi Wiki
12 April 07 05:35 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Back from another holiday (I call it the Arnold Rimmer technique) I've been trying to collect, rework and refurbish my thoughts on web-based Kerberos stuff in a personal Wiki. You're welcome to peruse it with the usual disclaimers that I'm frequently Read More...

Oh noes ! They found out our secrets ! How!? Who would have thought that anyone would produce a converter between Office Open XML and any other format ? I mean, it's XML ! People can read XML themselves, right? Why would you ever want to translate an Read More...
