Blogger Blogs in Outlook – Incorrect Dates
This has been obvious to me for a while – whenever I viewed this blog in Outlook 2007 via the common RSS feed store, the dates were all incorrect and so new posts appeared at random within the list. I finally found a fix yesterday – the post was based upon ATOM technology and not… Continue reading Blogger Blogs in Outlook – Incorrect Dates

Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The network logon failed. (1790)
This is an error visible in the web browser when connecting to a HTTPS web site behind an ISA Server.

But now I have fixed it. It must have been a corrupt copy of the libary database on the SDCard… Continue reading Can’t Update Media Player Library on Windows SmartPhone
Exchange 2007 Clustering on Windows 2008
I have just spent an hour or three installing two Windows 2008 Enterprise Edition boxes to create an Exchange 2007 SCC cluster using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 to create the environment. But I did not get that far, as Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering shared storage requires SAS (Serial SCSI) or iSCSI and not… Continue reading Exchange 2007 Clustering on Windows 2008

Creating Subject Alternative Name Certificates with Microsoft Certificate Server
A new feature in digital certificates is the Subject Alternative Name property. This allows you to have a certificate for more than one URI (i.e. www.c7solutions.com and www.c7solutions.co.uk) in the same certificate. It also means that in web servers such as IIS you can bind this certificate to the site and use up only one… Continue reading Creating Subject Alternative Name Certificates with Microsoft Certificate Server

ISA Server and Net2 Access Control from Paxton
To allow access to the Net2 Server software through an ISA Server you need to create some custom protocols and then allow those protocols in the rules.

The CDDBControl DLL that can be downloaded from here can be used in VB or Java Script to programatically set and read the ID3 tags on an MP3 file.

Virtual PC’s Crashing With IntelPPM.sys and Processor.sys
Today I booted a virtual machine that was provided for me by a client so that I could prep a training course, but I could not log into the virtual machine because it blue-screened with a driver called intelppm.sys failing (and supposedly processr.sys can cause the same problem, but I have not experienced that one… Continue reading Virtual PC’s Crashing With IntelPPM.sys and Processor.sys
