I have a vbscript script that I runs fine when I am running it myself. For some reason, when I run it under the task scheduler as an administration user, it runs, but doesn't even write to my log file. It shouldn't be permissions, as the user I run it under is adminstrator. Its a script calling 32 bit dlls on a Win2008 64 bit machine....

Hello everyone! I have a server (my laptop :P) that is running a web page with Windows Server 2008 and I would like to know if it is possible to make my own domain name instead of paying for a service? I know Windows Server 2k8 has a DNS service, but how easy is it to get this to work externally? Sounds like it would be tough because don...
I've been developing a C# project that references the ADODB 2.8 COM on a Windows 2005 machine. (No I'm not using it for data access I need it because CDO needs returns ADODB.Streams). Now I've tried opening this solution on a Server 2008 box but I'm told ADOB 2.8 is missing and sure enough there aren't any ADODB items in the COM refere...

At my workplace I have various Sql Server instanced, on different Windows Servers. When I make a backup of a Sql Server database instance, it sits on that Windows Server and not on my machine so to see the file (e.g. be able to right click > Properties on it), I need to remote desktop into that server. However, what commands are availab...
Can I set up an IIS server so that it will cache the most frequently used static files (binary) from disk into RAM, and serve from RAM on request? Update: mod_mem_cache in Apache Caching Guide seems to be what I'm looking for. Any equivalent thing in IIS? Thanks. ...
Is there any easy way (via a script perhaps) to get the cumulative bytes sent and received from a NIC on Windows 2008 Server? For example, the NIC currently shows around 18 MB of sent data and 765 MB of received data. Since my server provider does not provide an easy way to see the monthly bandwidth usage, getting the NIC data seems t...
When running a .NET 2.0 WinForms app in a Terminal Services environment, I'm seeing some unexpected results that I can't quite explain. Everything I have read has indicated that JIT'ed assemblies (i.e., not using NGen to create native images) result in all code space being stored in private pages, increasing working set size / memory pr...
We have a Sql Server 2000 database application that needs to update our applications Sql Server 2008 database when certain tables are changed.

We have a 32-bit COM component written with ATL in C++. When there's a need to use it from 64-bit .NET, we create a COM+ application and everything works allright. Recently we noticed strange behaviour on Win2k8. The COM object in our component fires an event and we process it in .NET code. The event has a parameter also passed from the...

Can you point me to best practices for file hosting in IIS 7. The number of files can be very high > 500,000, 2-10KB each. A possible concern is the performance with such a large number of files. We could have a smaller number of larger files and have a HTTP handler to process the requests or just have the smaller files and use IIS7 to ...
I'm moving my dedicated server to another provider and I'm migrating everything over to the new server. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to save ACLs (access control lists) from an existing system into another. I have 3 different local user accounts that I use on IIS to isolate each web site access from the other...
I need to process large image files into smaller image files. I would like to distribute the work to many "slave" servers, rather than tasking my main server with this. I am using Windows Server 2005/2008, C#, and ASP.NET. I have a lot of web application development experience but have not developed distributed systems. I had a notion th...

We have tried with the included Memory Manager or the latest FastMM4 4.92 with the same results. Has anyone tried t...
