  • Application Pool Identity Character Limit

       Oct. 6, 2005 6:34 AM EST    Adventure Girl   
    So, today, my customer (who we'll call Tom) was struggling (he thinks it was a heroic struggle) with extending a virtual server for WSS.  He created a user with a really long username to use as an application pool identity.  When he tried to extend the virtual server, h..
  • Office 12 to include Save To PDF command

    Maybe everybody else has already heard this.  I read about it in The Register and followed the link to the Microsoft Press Release.  Here's what Steven Sinofsy said about it: Today we demonstrated support in Office “12” that will enable customers to save their work as a PDF file by si..
  • Such good news!  Here's some information that Iyaz put together that I'd like to repeat for you... The WSS SP 2 release has substantial supportability improvements including, Support for running on 64-bit machines in 32-bit emulation mode Support for Reverse Proxy and Alternate URL suppo..
  • I'm currently in the process of helping a global company design their portal architecture.  I must confess, however, that infrastructure / system admin stuff is not my forte, so I was a bit nervous about talking to those people about their existing environment.  Happily I found this post&n..

  • Web part gallery taking *forever* to display?

       Jul. 13, 2005 2:22 AM EST    Adventure Girl   
    Well mine was, and it was getting embarrassing trying to explain to the customer why it was running so slowly on my VPC when I really didn't know the answer!  But then I found this post on the very subject by good old Daniel, and now everything is copacetic.  Yay!  
  • InfoPath Forms Server

       Jul. 11, 2005 1:57 AM EST    Adventure Girl   
    Very exciting InfoPath news!  Nearly every customer I've been to has liked the *idea* of InfoPath but has been disappointed with the implementation.  They are all concerned about the fact that anyone who uses InfoPath, either as a designer or a user, has to have the product installed on t..
  • Whew, that's done!

       Jul. 7, 2005 12:01 AM EST    Adventure Girl
