I'm developing an ASP.NET web application. The site generates PDF files which contain images of handwritten content (signatures etc.). The bitmap images are created by some methods of the Microsoft.Ink library, converting MS Ink data (generated on a Tablet PC and transferred to the site.). Now, it works like charm on my Vista developmen...

(sorry if my wording is terrible, hopefully the brackets helped?). I know there is a utility available with the windows 2000 resource kit (SUBINACL.exe), but i...
I have a task that needs to run every 30 seconds. I can do one of two things: Write a command line app that runs the task once, waits 30 seconds, runs it again and then exits. I can schedule this task with Scheduled Tasks in Windows to run every minute Write a Service that runs a task repeatedly while waiting 30 seconds in between each...
Hi, My application was built with VB.NET. It's an EXE application. It's already running well on dozens of Windows hosts as an independent app - without a development environment. Now I try to run it on a Windows 2008 server (as a native app), but the form is not shown - nothing is displayed. When I debug, I see that it's running all "f...
Sometime this weekend one of our databases (11.1.0.7) began having problems accessing certain folders on a portion of the network through Java. I have reproduced the problem using a small portion of java that does nothing but create a file object and attempt to delete the file. From the database this works for deleting local files and de...

Having moved our ASP.NET site from 32-bit Windows Server 2003/IIS6 to 64-bit Windows Server 2008/IIS7 (classic mode), certain active directory operations are intermittently experiencing huge delays. Specifically, DirectorySearcher.FindOne() and DirectoryEntries.Children.Add() sometimes take up to 40 minutes to complete. These problems s...
One of my Executables writes some configuration into a XML file to C:\Program Files\MyApp\config.xml. It needs to run as Administrator on Vista / Server 2008, otherwise the OS won't let it write to that location. I included a manifest file named config.exe.manifest, to automatically request administration rights at launch. Here's my ma...

In older versions of Windows, it was just open the Control Panel, select the System applet, select the Advanced tab, and then hit the Environment variables button. As a normal user, you could edit the "User variables" but not the "System variables". In Windows Server 2008 R2, if I try to hit the Advanced System settings option in the S...
I'm trying to publish a web site from VS 2008 directly to a mapped folder on a Windows 2008 server. Some of the files publish OK (e.g. aspx files) but others don't (e.g. ascx, asmx, cs, config, sitemap, etc files). Also, some folders are created OK and others not (e.g. the bin folder can't be created). The message I get is (in this ca...
Hi all, I'm currently working on getting a Java application (JRE 1.5+) to talk to a Windows 2008 OCSP Responder, and I'm getting a strange error on trying to read the Responder's signing cert.

I'm using a suite of WatiN tests driving IE to do some periodic sanity checking for the purposes of monitoring a site. The suite works fine when I invoke it interactively and/or when I configure the task in Task Scheduler to "Run only when the user is logged on". However, when I set it to "Run whether the user is logged on or not", and...
We've just moved to a new server and everything's being going well. However earlier I ran into a .NET error when it was trying to convert a string in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" to a date, now I changed the culture setting in the local web.config but we require this to be global. Where do I change this? I assumed the machine.config but I co...
We used to use Dr. Watson logfiles and dumps for crash analysis in our production environment, but Dr. Watson is no longer part of server 2k8 and our infrastructure team has had issues getting it running on 2008. Are there alternatives that can be used in a similar way? In particular, we'd need the faulting module and address causing t...

Hi all, just wondering: is there some kind of 'Express' edition of Windows Server 2008 that developers can use to build and test sites locally? I want to test my sites in IIS7 (and learn my way around the OS), but I can't justify buying a full license just for that purpose. ...
