windows-server-2008

I have scheduled a task to run a SSIS job using the Task Scheduler (TS). It is configured to run as a User who belongs to the Admin group. The security is "Run whether user is logged on or not" is checked "Dont store password" is checked "Run with highest preveilage" is unchecked The scheduled task run ONLY when the user is logged in but when the user logs out the task doest seem to run. I figured "Run whether user is logged on or not" should run the task when the user isnt logged on. What am I missing? Try storing the password. If the user isn't logged in and the password isn't stored there

I'm writing a Ruby on Rails app that normally runs on Heroku or a Linux Box, but I'd need to deploy it to a Windows Server as well. The Server is a 64-Bit Win2008 Server with IIS 7.0 installed, so normally I'd prefer using IIS instead of setting up an Apache next to it. I just don't know if Ruby/Rails works with IIS? Do Gems work? Is 64-Bit an issue? I'm thinking of using Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3. you must like pain because this deployment is going to hurt. I don't know if this is a solution for you, but at my old job we were deploying web apps on windows tablets (over 200 of them) and decided

Anybody know how to programmatically add an IP address to a Server 2008 Windows Firewall with Advanced Security rule? i.e. I've setup a Block Action firewall rule which has some IP addresses listed under the "Remote IP address" section of the Scope. I want to be able to programmatically add (or perhaps remove) IP addresses from this list. Are there .NET objects available to do this? The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Start Page can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff956124(v=VS.85).aspx Specifically, it seems you need the INetFwRule Interface which is described at:

I have a windows service that is currently instantiating about a dozen FileSystemWatcher instances to monitor shared folders across the corporate network for files to be processed. I am looking into adding more instances so I'm wondering if anyone here has experience (with production systems) as to what are practical limits on number of FileSystemWatcher instances a production system can reliably handle? Edit: In my case, the InternalBufferSize property is not modified so the InternalBufferSize is the default 8 KB... I assume the increase in InternalBufferSize would affect the number of

In older versions of Windows, it was just open the Control Panel, select the System applet, select the Advanced tab, and then hit the Environment variables button. As a normal user, you could edit the "User variables" but not the "System variables". In Windows Server 2008 R2, if I try to hit the Advanced System settings option in the System applet, it prompts for the Administrator password. You can also use this direct command line to open the Advanced System Properties: sysdm.cpl Then go to the Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables OK I found it. Arg, an exercise in frustration. They left the

I was reading in Google's documentation about improving site speed. One of their recommendations is serving static content (images, css, js, etc.) from a "cookieless domain": Static content, such as images, JS and CSS files, don't need to be accompanied by cookies, as there is no user interaction with these resources. You can decrease request latency by serving static resources from a domain that doesn't serve cookies. Google then says that the best way to do this is to buy a new domain and set it to point to your current one: To reserve a cookieless domain for serving static content, register

I need a PHP script to have writing permission in a directory. PHP 5.3 is running as FastCGI under IIS 7 with windows server 2008 as OP. On my php error logs, I got "permission denied" when the script attempts to write a file. How can I sort this out? I tried to give all right to IIS_IUSR and to IUSR_myservername (with a right click on my folder) but it didn't work. Any help would be very appreciate, Regards, Julien tomfumb I have the same setup and I have to give write permission to: IUSR IIS AppPool\<<AppPoolName>> Actually, it's a little bit more complicated. The first thing to do is to

For a web application I am using ASP.NET C# (OS- Windows7, .NET 4) and the task has done. But I don't know how to run it locally in Windows7 as well as in Server 2008(.NET 4 and IIS installed in server 2008). And I have to run it in both the platfrom . So any help please. Thanks a lot. If you have IIS 7 installed on your Win 7 machine, then: Open you project in VS.NET Right click on your project's node in solution explorer and choose "Properties" Switch to the "Web" tab. Select the radio "Use Local IIS web server" Click the "Create Virtual Directory" button That takes care of getting your
