It seems that using Critical Sections quite a bit in Vista/Windows Server 2008 leads to the OS not fully regaining the memory. We found this problem with a Delphi application and it is clearly because of using the CS API. (see this SO question) Has anyone else seen it with applications developed with other languages (C++, ...)? The s...

I'm now adapting them to new Server 2008 boxes and they now won't run without bringing up the UAC prompt. I know this is normal behavior, but is there any way I can disable UAC, run my install stri...
While trying to get a 2008 server to connect to a sql server, I noticed a change in the 2008 IP stack that has me a bit flummoxed. I'm looking for either an OS way to override this, or a programmatic way in .NET to override this. For the sake of this argument, assume I have a web server with multiple IP addresses to server multiple site...
So just this week I had the opportunity to re-build my development machine and I opted to use Windows Server 2008 x64 version for my operating system. I re-installed Visual Studio 2008 along with all of my other development tools. I surprised to see that the KB958502 hot fix did not recognize my installation of Visual Studio 2008. I wond...
Hello, I'd like to import a real Windows Server 2008 server as a Hyper-V Virtual Server on another Windows Server 2008 instance. Anyone have any idea how to do this? I'm looking at the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 but it doesn't seem to import Windows Server 2008 - nor is it free. Is there some other workaround (i.e. ...
Hi, Has anybody managed to get Tomcat to run as a service on Win2008 64bit? I need it for a 3rd party component that my site relies on. It works fine otherwise, but I just can't get it to run as a service. I've tried all the googling I can, and experimented with various 64bit tomcat.exe / tomcatw.exe without success. Upgrading to Tomcat...

I have a Java application which uses a third-party COM component through a Java-COM bridge. This COM component opens a socket connection to a remote host. This host can take some time to respond, and I suspicious that I'm getting a timeout. I'm not sure because as I said, it's a closed-source third-party component. The API of this comp...
