I have a 64-bit application and an ODBC-driver which only comes in 32-bit-flavour. Is there any way to have the application connect to the datasource through the driver? I realize the short answer is NO, related to 64-bit applications not being able to load a 32-bit dll, but I am looking for a slightly longer and more positive answer. ...
Hi, Does anybody know why I can't access the folder where my powershell scripts are in windows 2008 Ent. When I try to create a script with textpad it craps out. When I try and execute a c# powershell app, which is stored on another win 2003 drive, it craps out with an access exception as well. I've set powershell execution policy to un...
We have to deploy our application on a Windows 2008 64 bit server. As the application is already running for over one year on a Windows 2003 server installation, we know everything is working fine. We are still developing on Windows XP. But installing it on a Windows 2008 64 bit system make me feel a little bit uneasy. So are there any...
Hello. I'm having a little problem with configuring the firewall on my server. I only want a specific range of IPs to be able to access specific ports. For example, I'm having alot of password attempts to some of my servers, so I want to make it more safe by only allowing incoming connections from a specific range of domain. Example: M...
Hello, we've inherited a PHP project from a client that requires IonCube. Our boxes all run on IIS7 and although we've followed the instructions for configuring it, it isn't loading the decoder library. Have any of you had any success with getting IonCube up and running on Win 2k8 (32bit)? I'm pulling my hair out over this so any help wo...
Can anyone provide the script for rebuilding and reindexing the fragmented index when 'avg_fragmentation_in_percent' exceeds certain limits without using a cursor? ...
In the past I had the indexing service installed on a Windows Server 2003 and used it to index files for my website. I did this by executing an OleDbCommand with a query and a connection string. How do I accomplish the same thing with the new "Windows Search Service" (Windows Server 2008) by using VB.NET? Does this work the same way so ...
We have an installation that creates a handler mapping for a website. Using the IIS7 Admin pack, I've come up with some jscript that sets this up successfully. However, our developers have the requirement that this particular handler mapping be at the top of the ordered list of handler mappings. I discovered that you get to this view ...
I've deployed a .NET website to a 2008 (IIS7) server and the site seems to fly for up to 30-50 concurrent users. When load testing it the site comes to a grinding halt sometime after 100 concurrent users. Page loads go from 1.5 seconds to 90+ w3wp hits 100% and stays that way until I stop the load test. SQL on the other hand idles at...
I have a website that is hanging every 5 or 10 requests. When it works, it works fast, but if you leave the browser sit for a couple minutes and then click a link, it just hangs without responding. The user has to push refresh a few times in the browser and then it runs fast again. I'm running .NET 3.5, ASP.NET MVC 1.0 on IIS 7.0 (Win...
This may just be my misunderstanding of the subject, but I would hope to find a simple answer. I run a web server for my own use, among many reasons just so I have a domain name to reference my network at home. I just deployed Sever 2008 Enterprise thanks to acquiring a MS charity license. It's so much better than the IIS 5 on XP setup...

Hi, I am new to TFS and have been having issues with setting it up to be accessible on the internet.

We're having an issue. We have the majority of our code written in .net 1.1 (including asp.net). We're told that Microsoft do not support .net 1.1 on Windows Server 2008. The bit we're really confused on is that it's apparently it's only Asp.Net 1.1 that isn't supported on Server 2008. Our question is, what signifies Asp.net 1.1 is i...
The project that I'm working on uses a commercially available package to route audio to various destinations. With this package is a separate application that can be used to log events generated by the audio routing software to a database e.g. connect device 1 to device 3. I have been tasked with writing an application that reacts to sp...

This does not happen when I run the site on VS integrated server. I did not change any code in the project, so it sems to be an issue on the ...

To our great surprise we found recently this. With SP1 for Windows 2003 Microsoft changed a way critical sections behave. Earlier threads wanting to access them were served in FIFO manner. Right now they are served in pure "random" way. In our case we had something like this: // I now it's kind of ugly design but works void Class:RunIn...

I have a Perl script that works on Windows XP. It uses File::Copy's move function to move a directory tree to another place on the same drive. The script fails (silently) on Windows 2008. Nothing moved, nothing deleted. I am using ActiveState Perl 5.10.0 Build 1005 and the File::Copy that comes with it. Anyone know of issues with Activ...
