Is there any limit on number of connections on Windows 2008 server? I did not hit any, since now there is up to 50 users. Plan is to have thousands of users, so I'd like to know if...
Basically I think this is a bug in Windows Server 2008, but I am not a COM ninja so it seems equally likely that I'm just doing something dumb. The question is: bug or programmer error? We use WinHttpRequest (the ActiveX component of WinHttp) to read http:// and https://. The ProgID we are using to look up the component is WinHttp.WinHt...
As the release date for the public beta of SharePoint 2010 is coming closer and closer, I'm wondering how to set up a developer machine for it. I've heard that for developing on SharePoint a 64 bit system is needed and that Microsoft advises to use Windows 7 64 bit and install SharePoint 2010 on it. I think that won't be an option for m...

I'm trying to create a locked down TS account for Windows Server 2008. The account runs a legacy program that is not exactly friendly or configurable.

I installed Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio and built my app. I installed Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Xcopy Deployment on the 32 bit server and it runs great.

Do we need to add a dependency on another service? Whi...

Hi, does anyone know if this can be done? I can find Windows Server 2003 but not 2008. I read you can create your own EC2 Virtual machines, but I haven't found any articles that say you can do this with Windows Server 2008. I'm really after IIS7, but I'd also intend to use SQL Server Express 2008 until such time as I can add support f...

To further examine the performance issue, we wrote a very simp...
