I've been having trouble getting my ASP.NET application to automatically log users into the Intranet site I'm building. No matter the googling or the experimentation I applied, there is always a login box displayed by IE7. I've got Windows authentication mode set in the Web.config, disabled anonymous access and configured the correct d...
I am writing an application that downloads large files in the background. All clients are logged in locally, or through a VPN. When they are logged in locally, I do not want to throttle downloads. However, I would like to limit downloads to 10 KBps when the user is connected via VPN. I can differentiate between these users by IP Address ...
As a LAMP developer considering moving to a .Net IIS platform, one of my concerns is the loss of productivity due to lack of shell... Has anyone else had this experience? Is there possibly a Linux shell equivalent for Windows? ...
I get the following error pretty regularly when compiling in Visual Studio and running my web application: "Unable to start debugging on the web server.

The discussion of Dual vs. Quadcore is as old as the Quadcores itself and the answer is usually "it depends on your scenario". So here the scenario is a Web Server (Windows 2003 (not sure if x32 or x64), 4 GB RAM, IIS, ASP.net 3.0). My impression is that the CPU in a Webserver does not need to be THAT fast because requests are usually r...
At work, we are often working on multiple branches of our product at one time. For example, right now, we have a maintenance branch, a branch with code just going to QA, and a branch for a new major initiative, that won't be merged for some time now. Our web project is set up to use IIS, so every time we switch to a different branch, we...
First of all, congrats to Jeff, Joel and the guys for getting this thing up and running! OK, I've been developing a site using ASP.NET MVC, and have decided to use the new SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM facility to store files 'within' the database rather than as separate entities. While initially working within VS2008 (using a trusted conne...
I'm using IIS in Windows 2003 Server for a SharePoint intranet. External incoming requests will be using the host header portal.mycompany.com and be forced to use SSL.

I'm using IIS 5.1 in Windows XP on my development computer. I'm going to set up HTTPS on my company's web server, but I want to try doing it locally before doing it on a production system. But when I go into the Directory Security tab of my web site's configuration section, the "Secure communication" groupbox is disabled. Is there somet...
I'm using Windows Vista x64 with SP1, and developing an ASP.NET app with IIS7 as the web server. I've got a problem where my cookies aren't "sticking" to the session, so I had a google and found that there was a known issue with duplicate response headers overwriting instead of being added to the session. This problem was, however, suppo...

Let me try to explain what I need. I have a server that is visible from the internet. What I need is to create a ASP.NET application that get the request of a web Site and send to a internal server, then it gets the response and publish the the info.

I'm not new to web publishing, BUT I am new to publishing against a web site that is frequently used. Previously, the apps on this server were not hit very often, but we're rolling out a high demand application. So, what is the best practice for publishing to a live web server? Is it best to wait until the middle of the night when pe...
I've looked at several URL rewriters for ASP.Net and IIS and was wondering what everyone else uses, and why. Here are the ones that I have used or looked at: ThunderMain URLRewriter: used in a previous project, didn't quite have the flexibility/performance we were looking for Ewal UrlMapper: used in a current project, but source seem...
I have a problem with IIS 6.0 ceasing to work for an ASP.NET application after installing Service Pack 1 for .NET 3.5. I have 2 identical virtual dedicated servers. Installing SP1 on the first had no adverse effect. Installing it on the second caused ASP.NET pages to start returning 404 page not found. Static .html pages working okay o...

I have a web application that sometimes just hangs over heavy load. To make it come back I have to kill the "dllhost.exe" process. Does someone know what to do?

Ideally I would like to adsutil.vbs to update the metabase. How do I do this? ...
