I normally would create a limited rights user and run the process under that but the fact that pools automatically created under IIS7 in 2008 use this account makes me think that this is perfectly safe, and possibly more so than something I create? The whole Secure By Default push from Redmond would lead me to believe this is the case. ...
I'm currently using a linux server, we run a couple of web sites of it, PHP apps with MySQL, the usual. Since the server is privately owned by some friends and myself (we do have it hosted at a professional datacenter though), from time to time we also use it to host our smallish counter-strike source and call of duty 4 matches by runnin...

We are uprading our servers and we're going to have 3 servers - 1 db server and 2 frontend web servers. For the web servers we'll use 2008 Web edition but we can't decide which edition to use for the db. At first we were thinking of using Standard edition but with our host it works out 10 times more expensive per month than the Web edit...
We're currently using IIS 6 and Windows Server 2003 for our web and application servers. Our web servers make WCF Service calls to our application servers. We'd like to move to IIS 7 and Windows Server 2008 so that we can use the recommended netTcpBinding (at the moment we're using a basicHttpBinding). (along with this we'd also move f...
Typically what I used to do is drag and drop the files onto the GAC folder. This works in Windows 2000 & 2003, however when I try to do this in Windows Server 2008 I get 'Access is denied'. The user that is doing this is a local administrator. The only reference I can find to this is: Forum link Is there another way to achieve this? ...
My web application worked very well in a Windows Server 2003 with .NET Framework 2.0. When I migrated to Windows Server 2008 with .NET Framework 3.5. With the same code running in both servers the difference between them was the following: for a given async ASHX (IHttpAsyncHandler) the previous server automatically answered the request ...
Simple question, but one I can't find an answer to on the MSDN subscriber site: As an MSDN Professional Subscriber, can I install the same copy of Windows 2008 in multiple VMs at the same time? The MSDN keys state that they can be used for "multiple activations", but they don't state whether these are sequential or concurrent. I seem to...

I have an application which gets called by a scheduled task. It moved from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. On 2003, the app ran in the directory where the executable was located. On 2008 Environment.CurrentDirectory (C#) reports that it's running in C:\Windows\System32. How do I set the running directory? I'm using schtasks....
I've been running JBoss 4.2.2 GA for ages now under XP 64 and server 2003. Recently I decided to install server 2008 (x64) over my xp 64 installation and use it as my desktop as so many people love to tout... Unfortunately now when I start JBoss 'something' - and i am assuming it's somehow the windows firewall - prevents connections fr...
I am going to be working with a few outside developers for some ASP.NET projects and wanted to setup a co-located server for version control, testing, and staging client sites until they are ready to deploy. I already have the ISP and have a 10 megabit connection burstable to 100, so I don't think bandwidth is going to be an issue. My...
I have just upgraded my server 2003 to serrver 2008. As I write this, my site is available externally. If I were to try again in the morning,the site won't come up. However, if I log back onto the server or access the website from another computer on the network, it works just fine...again! ...
I am having a tough time deploying a web site to IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008. The site works fine until it tries to make calls to a WCF service hosted on the same host. Everything works great for the service from my workstation when the web is ran in Visual Studio 20008 using the exact same web config etc. As soon as I deploye the web...
I have had many requests come in to a project that I work on, to include an IIS 7 module interface. Does anybody know of any resources for creating an IIS 7.0 module interface? I have searched http://www.iis.net and I have not really found a good article on the basics of how to create an IIS 7.0 module interface. It can be for any pro...

We're migrating our .net 2.0 websites from a Windows 2003 server (32 bit) with IIS6 to a Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) box with IIS7. I can't seem to get the global themes to work.
