PL15W2SP.DLL vs Firewall Client
19 August 09 10:37 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
As I possibly misspelled or misremembered it, the PL15ws2p.dll (possible sic) file was installed as a Winsock Layered Service Provider on a couple of boxes at a customer site. Coincidentally, these machines were Windows Server 2008 machines where we couldn’t Read More...
Improve Hyper-V Performance With Standard VGA!
05 August 09 02:36 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yes, kids, if you’re finding that the Hyper-V performance ain’t what it used to be since installing that whizbang graphics card driver on your shiny new seven core hyperthread-and-a-halved megaturboserver thing, you might be suffering from flushes . Read Read More...
ISA Server 2006 on Windows Server 2008: Nup
05 June 09 02:52 AM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yuri’s blog explains some of the detail. But there’s slightly more subtlety to it, which I’ll try to snake-oil in front of you here: Can I install ISA 2006 on 32-bit Windows Server 2008 ? No , it only runs on Windows Server 2003. Okay, so technically, Read More...
Old MPSReports
12 May 09 01:14 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
There’s a new MPS Reports version in town, with new features : new 64-bit friendliness, various forms of wizard-driven hotness for all the products the individual old tools used to support, etc, etc. Call me old school if you want, but I typically prefer Read More...

Of all the things I could be doing right now, blogging is the one that won. Feel special? Procrastination, but with a helpful bent. IAG SP2 is now a VHD for Hyper-V Your mission, Jim, is to make that into a song. The most interesting “wow” moment I had Read More...
Home Hyper-V Networking Gotchas
13 January 09 10:12 PM | tristank | 5 Comments   
Before the holidays, I bought myself an early present: a new quad-core box with 4GB RAM, which I was going to use for a home Hyper-V lab, so that I could run a bunch of 64-bit VMs as well as the 32-bit staples I’ve been using for years (SBS 2003, and Read More...
.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...
That Memory Leak Revisited
25 June 08 04:59 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
While searching for memory leaking troubleshooting techniques that could be applied to 64-bit Windows (for the DHCP Server memory leak I found I had the other day ), I stumbled across the answer to my problem in an internal tool (weird that I missed it Read More...
Windows Server 2008 Diagnostics Off The Cuff
20 June 08 10:15 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
A word of caution to those of you that like endings: this isn't over yet. I'm running a rather sad and noisy X64 desktop as a server at home. Once a proud warrior, actually, no, wait, it was never any good. It's just a Virtual Server host (it's not quite Read More...
The Cat's Out Of The Bag: ISA Server will become ForeFront TMG
09 April 08 05:21 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
So, we all know that ISA 2006 doesn't work on Windows Server 2008 . Massive architectural changes to the IP stack, blah blah, etc, etc. People (uh, yeah, just "people") have been asking about what's to become of ISA Server for a while: "There's 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...
Windows Server 2008 Desktop Edition
29 February 08 12:44 PM | tristank | 3 Comments   
WS08 Workstation, Anyone?   Apart from those pesky Live applications that won't install (why would anyone ever blog from a Server OS, as I'm doing now? Beats me...), I've had a relatively good run with Windows Server 2008 (x64, naturally) as my desktop 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...
