We are deploying two server-based applications, one WCF, and one a Winform that processes a lot of network traffic (like a custom-made WCF). Generally speaking, would upgrading from Server 2008 to Server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5 offer these apps potential significant performance benefits? I'm particularly interested, as I've heard great thi...
Which OS would you recommend for a development machine: Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 As of now, most "web developers" probably use Windows Server 2008 because of IIS and Vista SuckingBigTime. Does this change with Windows 7? Can we finally use a client OS on a client computer again or the time has yet to come? ...
I'm using C# on Windows Server 2008, and I want to receive a message from a public transactional queue on another machine in the same domain. The error looks like this: System.Messaging.MessageQueueException: Cannot import the transaction. at System.Messaging.MessageQueue.ReceiveCurrent(TimeSpan timeout, Int32 action, CursorHandle c...
Hello, I'm currently in the process of preparing a new server to run our ASP.Net platform on. For the first time I'm doing the installation on a 64-bit Windows (2008 R2), and with IIS7.5 (before that always 7.0). Our website is built in x86, so I've enabled the application pools to use 32-bit applications. I'm stuck at the following er...
as the title notes, we can't get in to our site. this same site works fine for us in 2003 and in our dev environments. but once we moved to 2008 R2: we "can't get in". i'd love it if we could use fuslogvw to watch the assembly bindings: but that's not possible on these servers (no sdk installed). i've seen other posts that say nothin...

Can anyone think of a reason a SQL Server 2008 failover cluster couldn't use Cluster Shared Volumes for databases and log files? It seems that using CSVs should reduce failover time and reduce the complexity of the cluster group configurations (the physical drive resources wouldn't need to "failover" anymore). ...
Hello, I have setup a server with Windows 2008 R2 Core Web Edition. The question is, how can I install the IIS7 SMTP service? Or is SMTP missing in the Core editions? Thank you ...
Hey SO, I am running into the following issue, which applies to Server 2008 R2 only. Microsoft FTP 7.5 has an extensibility interface, IFtpLogProvider, that I am trying to implement to do some custom logging when people connect. As has been reported here and here, this is a problem in the IFtpLogProvider.Log() method in versions of FTP...
So Windows Server Core 2008 R2 added support for ASP.net, but only a subset: Subset of .NET Framework 2.0 Subset of .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 – WCF, WF, and LINQ Now the question is, what is not available? I'm guessing that the Media stuff and everything related to WPF is missing, which isn't a huge loss. But any other big...
Using Hyper-V Manager, I can connect to a remote VM host, go to the settings of a VM, and add an existing .VHD file as a new hard disk. If the VM host is running Server 2008 R2, and the disk is being attached to a SCSI controller, I can even do this while the VM is running (see What's new in Hyper-V R2). Doing this manually, everything ...
I would like to know if I migrate from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (x64) do I have to reinstall all applications in new Operating System or I will be able to simply upgrade the OS without any data loss. ...
Hi, The same compiled .Net / C++ / Com program does different things on two seemingly same computers. Both have DOZENS of things installed on them. I would like to figure out what the difference between the two is by looking at an ASCII diff. Before that I need to "serialize" the list of installed things in a plain readable format - sor...
I have a BHO, which i can see it as enabled in Add On's list. But it does not get loaded when i start my IE on the Win2k8 R2 machines(64 bit). I have disabled IE Enhanced security as well but no help. The same BHO gets loaded in other machines. The registry details under (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curre...

I'm using a Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 machine as a development box. Amongst many other things I've got Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed on it. When I'm working on a project, I sometimes need to use Debug > Start without Debugging (Ctrl + F5). If the program throws an exception, I get a new R2-style window appear. I'm pretty sure I d...
HI, I recently installed tomcat 6.024 on windows 2008 R2 to run a java app.The app uses quartz-1.6.5 to schedule some jobs that need to run 3 times a day. The server freezes every now and then and have to reboot the machine. The catalina log displays the following when I shut down tomcat: SEVERE: A web application appears to have start...
When Windows Server 2008 R2 was launched, the "server core" edition started to become useful to me, because it lets me deploy .NET background applications isolated on their own virtual machine instance with only a small fraction of all the disk space overhead of a default Windows Server installation, and very few Windows Updates. It come...
Hi, I have a ASP.Net MVC 2 web site, which can be visited by http://localhost/Admin/ContentMgr/ in ASP.Net Development Server from Visual Studio 2010(RTM Retail).

I have a service running that can invoke an external process to modify a text stream before it is returned to the service. The text stream is handed from the service to the external process on stdout and the modified result is read from the service on stdin. The external process (command) can in other words be used as a text "filter". I ...
