Hi, I have this script to run on Windows 2008/Vista to remove one registry key, but I can't get it to run: Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000 strComputer = "." strKeyPath = "Installer\Products\334A4D1453680B74CA87BEE6B7E40113" Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv") DeleteSubkeys...
I read in a few places that MVC requires Windows Server 2008 for full support. Can the same be achieved on a Vista Ultimate dev machine or will some things be missing? If you have worked with MVC, have you had trouble finding relatively inexpensive hosting for Windows Server 2008? Though hosting is not as big a concern for me right (I k...
I have two dedicated servers with Limestone Networks, each with two network cards. One of them is connected to the Internet and gives me access to 5 public IPs per server. The second card is connected to their private network (they call it "Private Tunnel") which allows me to connect to the servers without wasting my bandwidth. I could ...
Title is hopefully pretty self explanatory but I've written up an example anyway: I have a folder C:\SharedFolder\ReallyBigFolderThatWontFitAnyMore I need to move folder to other server but can't touch the clients, so I move the folder to another server and create create a symbolic link. C:\SharedFolder\> mklink /d ReallyBigFolderT...
I have a server whose AD account got crazy; log on would take hours and not all DCs showed the computer account. Now it only boots if disconnected from the network. I am trying to remove it from the domain but get aa timeout or if it is connected I get an error message "A remote procedure call is already in progress for this thread". I d...
We have an ASP.NET project (40 or so Web forms, 50 tables, pretty standard IO stuff with care taken to minimize when possible) that will soon need to be deployed. There will be about 100 concurrent users on the system, but only about 20 at any one time will be pounding on it it. We'll be deploying it on Windows Server 2008, 32-bit initia...
I have a really weird issue that I can't figure out with comparing objects on IIS 7. We are in the process of deploying our old IIS 6 based ASP.NET application on IIS 7, however we have this equality comparison issue that we can't seem to figure out. Let me start out by saying that I have the same assemblies and code running both on I...
Specifically, I'm working with an application that only runs on Server 2008 if the "Desktop Experience" feature is installed, and I'd like to have that application's installer verify it's there. The only way I'm aware of currently is to run ServerManagerCmd -query and parse the output; I'd prefer something more lightweight (like checkin...
Hi all, I have an application that uses SQLXML to access data on the database. We have it working on a Windows 2003 server and SQL Server 2005. Now the client wants to install it on Windows 2008 and SQL Server 2008 and we are getting errors like: Microsoft.Data.SqlXml.SqlXmlException: Class not registered ---> System.Runtime.InteropServ...
I was wondering how many people here use Windows Server 2008 (or w2k3) as their development machine. If you do, what are the pros/cons that you've found? If you don't, do you see any advantages to doing so? I've read many anecdotes online stating that it was a more stable development environment than Vista SP1, and some setup tips her...
I am trying to migrate an old classic asp application to IIS 7.0 with win2k8 and I definately don't want to change the old code if I can help it. I have set a date format in the Customise Regional Options in the Date formats in the regional and and language options in the control panel to dd-MMM-yy. I am still getting Conversion_failed...
I really know nothing about securing or configuring a "live" internet facing web server and that's exactly what I have been assigned to do by management. Aside from the operating system being installed (and windows update), I haven't done a thing. I have read some guides from Microsoft and on the web, but none of them seem to be very com...
Does anyone know how you can get SQL Server 2005 Express to NOT install as US English? All my win2k8 Regional Settings are set to English(New Zealand) but it always installs as US English. I can't find anywhere to change it in the installer. ...
I am what you'd call a "complete noob" when it comes to setting up a web server, and I need some advice. I am creating a database-driven website using ASP.Net MVC, and I am trying to figure out the most cost-effective and practical means to deploy the website when it's ready. I have four Mac Minis with Intel Core Duos on which I can in...
As I mention in a related question about colocation vs renting web servers, I am considering setting up a web server cluster using four Mac Minis (Intel Core Duo) and Windows Server 2008. The website I'm developing is database-driven and uses ASP.Net MVC with Microsoft SQL Server 2008. I am completely inexperienced with setting up a we...
I have an older server (retired database box in fact) that doesn't fit the requirements for VMware ESX/ESXi or Microsoft's Hyper-V but runs VMware Server 2 just fine. The host OS is currently Windows 2003 Standard. While it does the job just fine, I could hope for something a bit more "svelte" out of the box. Thus Windows 2008 Server Cor...

I am considering currently to get a VPS for some of my development test. I found some VPS at a cheap price, which suits me as it's only going to be used as a sandbox. So far I know it is possible to install .Net 3.5 on the windows 2003 without problems, if I am correct it will be also possible to use IIS6 for all my development includi...
