SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Is Now Available!

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 also addresses a few key customer requests:

Reporting Services Charts Maybe Zoomed & Cropped
Customers using Reporting Services on Windows 7 may sometime find charts are zoomed in and cropped. To work around the issue some customers set ImageConsolidation to false.
Batch Containing Alter Table not Cached
In certain situations with batch files containing the alter table command, the entire batch file is not cached.
Collapsing Cells or Rows, If Hidden Render Incorrectly
Some customers who have hidden rows in their Reporting Services reports may have noticed rendering issues when cells or rows are collapsed. When writing a hidden row, the Style attribute is opened to write a height attribute. If the attribute is empty and the width should not be zero.

Submitting change to set timed out

I'm trying to edit the filter for the "Password Reset Users" set. I'm using the gui wizard and all I want to do is change the "User with any of the conditions below" to "user with all of the conditions below".

Some details: the current filter has all my user objects in it (28.000+). I'm not sure whether this amount impacts setting the change. In the SQL tracer I can see that this specific query took 57999 ms (57 seconds).

The Portal UI shows "summary: edit set", "status: Timed Out".

The event log on the portal server:

The Portal cannot connect to the middle tier using the web service interface. This failure prevents all portal scenarios from functioning correctly.
The cause may be due to a missing or invalid server url, a downed server, or an invalid server firewall configuration.
Ensure the portal configuration is present and points to the resource management service.

Requestor: urn:uuid:7fb2b853-24f0-4498-9534-4e10589723c4
Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

P.S changing settings to other sets works okilidokely. Also doing a view members on the "password reset users" works ok. Backups run regulary and DB maintance has been performed (rebuild index, update statistics).

Any thoughts?

I have seen this before. you need to increase your timeouts for this operation. Afterwards you will want to change it back, unless this is an admin partition

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff800821(WS.10).aspx

/configuration/ resourceManagementService/ @dataReadTimeoutInSeconds	[0,inf)	58	The timeout used in all SQL select commands.
/configuration/ resourceManagementService/ @dataWriteTimeoutInSeconds	[0,inf)	58	The timeout used in all SQL update, insert, and delete commands.

If it still timeoust you might also need to modify

/configuration/ resourceManagementClient/ @timeoutInMilliseconds

[0,360000]

90,000

The timeout of the client side of communication.

Seemed like a good tip.

I tried them one by one (starting with the read and gradually adding the others) so my config now looks like:

...
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
<resourceManagementClient resourceManagementServiceBaseAddress="fimsvc.domain.tld" timeoutInMilliseconds="120000"/>
<resourceManagementService externalHostName="fimsvc.domain.tld" dataReadTimeoutInSeconds="120" dataWriteTimeoutInSeconds="120" />
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
...

If I stopwatch between "submitting" and gettting "timed out", I have exactly 60 seconds. No matter what the above parameters are.

I'm now having this behavior on two sets. So i created a new dynamic set: succeeded. I altered the dynamic membershop to a different filtered: worked. Back to my bad sets: timed out again...

So I haven't got any further now. Any further tips are appreciated.

After googling a bit (using the parameters you provided) I came upon: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff608271(WS.10).aspx

So the resourceManagementClient section was overruled by my web.config section which had 60.000 specified. Changed that to 120.000, and now it takes two minutes before timeout.

So no real solution there...

I wouldn’t say I solved the problem, but I’ve definitely got my set configured as I want it…

I followed: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrylru/archive/2010/02/02/extending-fim-timeouts.aspx

Which is in fact also described at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff608271(WS.10).aspx

By coincidence I also had to reboot some servers in the FIM topology (some non-fim-related hotfixes had to be installed). After a reboot I was able to do a change just once, but then the issue resurfaced. So changing the timeouts didn’t really help. The Test I was trying to make currently had a 28.000 users in it scope, and had to get a new filter which consisted of “User with all of the following: not accountType = bla; not Language = a; not language = b; not language =c”. Each time I was getting either request failed or request timed out.

Creating a new set with the exact same filter posed no problem. Performing changes to that set also posed no problems… And then I started gradually creating the filter. I added “not accountType = ble”, clicked submit. Watched my SQL CPU spike a bit and it got through. And so I added the clauses one by one…

So I’m guessing our virtual SQL (lab environment) is being to slow somewhere. What I don’t get that all other portal interactions are fairly responsive. The preview for that exact set worked as expected. And creating/editing other sets went just fine….

I though Id write this for future reference…

Thomas

Increasing the SQL read and write timeouts fixed this problem for me. I haven't bothered increasing the web timeout, so I still get the Set popup timing out after 60 seconds, but in the background the update completes, so I'm fine with that.

I modified the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Service\Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.exe.config

resourceManagementService externalHostName="fimserver.mydomain.local" dataReadTimeoutInSeconds="360" dataWriteTimeoutInSeconds="360" />

Quick question on this one,

If the FIM Service is installed on a separate server to the FIM Portal, is the externalHostName value in the config file the Service server or the Portal Server??

SQL 2008 Cluster adding a node to an existing sql cluster!

Hey there,

I have SQL 2008R2 enterprise active passive 2 node failover cluster. The active node is a high-end intel server and the passive node is low-end, so i wanna replace the low-end passive server to a new high-end server. So, for that purpose should i have to remove the existing passive node first from the cluster , or i have to add the new server to that failover cluster and then remove the passive one ?

Many Many thanks,

Hello,

When you create a cluster on Windows Server 2008 you start creating the cluster with one node (if you want), then you add nodes to the cluster. You can
remove nodes without any issues and leave the cluster cluster with one node, then add new nodes again.

Hi Aussie,

For the "read only", there are two common cause:

Office 2010 has introduced the Protected View, which is a read-only mode and most editing functions have been disabled.
Read more about the Protected View:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/what-is-protected-view-HA010355931.aspx
There seems to be a known issue, when the Preview Pane is enabled in Windows 7, some documents created by the earlier version of Word would become Read-Only. The workaround is to disable the Preview Pane in Windows.

For your situation, I'd suggest to download and install the trial of Office 2010, try to open your documents with it. You can make a copy of your documents if you worry about unexpected problem. And if you have any compatibility issue when using Word 2010, feel free to reply on this post so we can follow up with you.

Download the trial from: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/

Links list - best practice

I would like to create a links list where the links are opening in a new window, what is the best practice?

I found different solutions:

- edit the list in Sharepoint Designer
- add javascript on the page
- create a new list template

or do you have a better solution?

Reply:

We had a same requirement and for this I created a list using Link List template and added a new boolean type column to it for e.g. "Open in New Window". If user would like to open a link in new window then they have to select this check box. Then I applied custom XSLT to this list to open links in new window if this users have selected this checkbox.

Does it have to be a list?

A quick solution may be a content editor web part just select 'open in new tab' in link options when creating the links.

Yes, because the list contains sometimes more then 100 links so it's easy that you can order the list.

At the moment I created a new list template and edited the xslt, but don't know if that's the best solution.

The problem for this is that the summery name must be the same for every list, or i have to change the code for every table.

with changing code i mean this line:

...  if(tbl[i].getAttribute("Summary") == "Links")  ...

So isn't it better to use the list template?

Reply:

If you have Publishing Features activated in your site you could you a Content Query Web Part.

First, you need to create a custom Item Style in ItemStyle.xsl in the Style Library at the Site Collection Level.

In the page where you want to display the List just add a Content Query Web Part and configure it to display items from your link list, and in Presentations select your custom style.

I'm new for xslt and styles, but when i create a content query web part by default there is no view to see all the links and open them. I have a list and when you click on it it opens the item...

I saw the option "Field to display", but i can't get the url link and the url description. Can't find the correct name to use for url link and url description...

Could someone give me a small example of the xslt for a links list? Just a default view as a normal list without the content query webpart. Once i have that i can start i think.

tnx in advance

------------------------------------
Reply:

The field name is "URL" and the type is "Hyperlink or Picture". The point is give an anchor tag <a> with href attribute as the link and let its body/inner text contain the xsl:value-of select which can have the description from the field.

#N.B. : A field (e.g. fieldName) Hyperlink or Picture has fieldName.desc which can be used in XSLT.

Move DNS (AD)

Long story short, the DNS service isn't working correctly.

What I want to do is set up another DNS Service (DNS Only, no AD Service) that will run all the zones currently being handled on the Active Directory Server. The Active Directory Server currently handles everything.

This is what the network services currently looks like.

SERVER 1

AD DS, AD FS 2.0, DHCP, DNS, IIS (Running Web Services for management).

---

This is how I want it to look

SERVER 1

AD DS, AD FS 2.0, DHCP, IIS

SERVER 2

DNS

---

I've always managed networks where DNS was being served from the same server as AD DS. I've never seperated them before. I'm assuming it's possible. I'm also assuming that all I need to do is bring up a Win2008 R2 server, attach it as a Member Server to the domain, and add it as a secondary DNS to do a domain transfer. Then I need to upgrade it to be a primary DNS, move all the clients to use the new DNS then uninstall DNS from SERVER 1. Am I correct?

Sure, you can do that, and I would rather see the new DC also have DNS installed and replicate the zone. But the question is, why do you believe that DNS is not working correctly? DNS simply just works, and works fine, on a DC, and is especially designed to do so, taking advantage of the security (Secure updates, not stored in a text file, and replicates to other DCs for fault tolerance), and robustness of AD integrated zones.

There are a number of things that can cause DNS to have problems on a DC. One of the most popular reasons is a multihomed DC (more than one IP, more than one unteamed NIC, RRAS installed, IP routing enabled, WINS Proxy enabled, iSCSI adapater on it, etc). There can be other issues, and if DNS is not running properly, it *will* affect AD functionality. SInce your DC is up and running and clients are able to log on and access resources, it may be a simpler issue.

Let's see an ipconfig /all from the current DC and any event log errors, so we can assist to fix whatever is ailing the DC.

We are not interested in further trouble-shooting. We have been on this for 3 weeks. This isn't a multihomed server, it's not a RRAS server, We don't use WINS or WINS proxy and I've never heard of iSCSI. We have been thru everything. This includes resetting the entire DNS database file and re-populating it. After we pulled this DNS server from rotation everything went back to normal. We know it's the DNS service. What we are going to do is pull in a new DNS service to run with this server's AD DS system. Once we know the new DNS server is working correctly we will uninstall this DNS Server. At a later time we will either attempt to reinstall the DNS Service on the AD DS system or we will remove this AD DS system completely and flatten the machine for a rebulk.

I just need to be sure we can seperate the DNS service from the AD DS system.

Owner, Quilnet Solutions

Reply:

Yes, you can.

I/we are offering to assist to troubleshoot it, but I understand if you don't want to take it further.

Another option is to simply just zone transfer it over to the other server as you're doing, but taking it further, since you believe DNS on the DC is corrupted, then uninstall DNS off the DC, restart, then reinstall it, zone transfer it back, then change the zone to AD integrated.

Please let us know how things work out afterwards, whichever method you use.

That is the plan. We already transfered the zone to the newly created DNS server and already uninstalled the DNS service from the AD server. We are going to hold for a few days to be sure everything else continues to work before we reinstall DNS. If reinstalling DNS doesn't work, I've been authorized to flatten the machine.

Yeah, we thought of that over the weekend and ran a SFC. It didn't come up with anything though. We think the problem lies in a registry setting.

I got word earlier today that before this system was given to me for AD DS, it was used in another department for RRAS. RRAS was removed from the system prior to my department receiving it but the OS wasn't wiped. I'm wondering if MAYBE there is a registry setting that got set when RRAS was on it that wasn't reverted when RRAS was removed.

The only problem with my theory however is that this system has been running AD DS without problems for 9 months. The issue only recently surfaced.

Now that I have a backup DNS that I can use in the event of a problem, we can probably do more TS if you have more for me.

Maybe a TCP reset? Have you done that?

Then restart.

One more thing, if RRAS was installed, and there was a RRAS filter in conjunction with a corrupted reg key, that could cause it, too. If the above doesn't help, then take a look at resetting the Winsock, since it's a DC:

Ok so, we did the Winsock reset when the TCP/IP failed. Restarting the server after running the netsh winsock reset how has the DNS service stopped. When attempting to manually restart the DNS service I get "An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used." I also receive this error when looking at DHCP. What's interesting is that the server still has an internet connection even when it's using itself as the only DNS source.

I'm not familar with this error message so hopefully you have something. I thought maybe I needed to reset the interfaces in DNS but without having the service running I cannot access the Interfaces page on the DNS settings.

To confirm, netsh winsock reset is what caused the "An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used." error. Are you saying you want me to run it a second time?

So, we ran the netsh winsock reset command a second time and rebooting and we are getting the same result. One of other IT guys said "Hey, lets uninstall and reinstall DNS" so we tried that. Uninstalled ok, restarted, but when we attempted to reinstall DNS we got the following failure code: 0x80070643.

I saw your other post before it was deleted. I was suggesting to retry it. I see you did. At least now with this error, we are getting closer to whatever is going on. See if this helps - applies to 2003, too.

I was already ahead of you but when I ran the pkgmgr I got error code 0x80070643.

I'm being told we are not pursuing this issue further. They don't want to spend any more resources on this since we've hit the 4 week mark. They are reverting the server state back two days and are going to install a temporary server to host what this server hosts, then wipe and reload.

Sorry to hear that. But since this is a DC, you don't want to do a revert., assuming you're referring to the virtualization revert feature and not a true System State restore, or you will introduce another complexity.

Check out this thread that a guy did just that and is now beleaguered with a USN rollback and an unusable DC.

How to create an FTP with multiple users having own private content?

I want to host an FTP site in my local network at my workplace.

There are multiple users with each having its personal data. I want to authenticate every user with unique username and password, so that a particular user will have access to his own folder and the public folders only.

I have made a working FTP site for anonymous authentication.

how shall I make it for particular users?

Hi Tanay N,

not sure what Windows version you have. In Windows 2008 R2 the users can just log on to ftp using there AD credentials. In the FTP root create a folder for each user and set the proper permissions.

Lutz

Cannot Change Agent Profile through Replication Monitor

I have a PULL merge subscription set up and a stand alone publisher and stand alone distributor, so 3 servers in all and I was able to create a user defined agent profile just fine but when I try to assign my merge subscription to it I get the following using replication monitor. Google and Bing have not turned anything up as to why this may be happening. Wondering if this is a bug or by design or any links to more information on this topic

Reply:

May you elaborate more information about :

Version & edition of publisher

Version & edition of subscribers

Did you try push subscription which might help in compromising conflicts might take place between distributor and Subscriber

Would this be SQL Express clients? Perhaps a default profile would work for you?

Hi Brandon, this is Server 2008 R2 running SQL 2012 RTM Developer. I think the issue is these are PULL subscribers as I can change the profile fine on PUSH subscribers

Access 2007 - Export to PDF/XPS Broken

Hi there,
Very recently (over the past DAY!) something has changed and affected Access 2007 Export to PDF. All the computer in my office now produce this, however I'm unsure which update caused it, or if there's a way to fix it.

I am able to run my reports no problem, view them locally inside Access using Print Preview and they look fine, however once exported to PDF the charts look as if they were half rendered. The "Pie" chart isn't a circle, it's a bunch of colored squares all over the place and some point graphs don't show up.

I ran Windows Update to see if maybe there was another update missing, but nothing. Says I'm up-to-date. Ran Adobe updater, thinking maybe it's an Adobe rendering issue. Found 1 update, updated and still no change.

Has anyone run into this problem? Maybe this is a midigation thing for future versions, but it's quite unfortunate to happen at this moment cause my office almost lives off these reports. Anyone able to suggest any kind of quick-fix? Anyone run into this yet? Can't change the graphs because the only options for charts are these Office 97 looking things.

Regards, Chad Garrett

Just in case anyone else runs into this issue, I fixed the problem but Uninstalling the following updates for Office XP

KB974556 and KB976380

Works perfect again!

@Chad,

I'm using Windows 7 and I don't have those updates on my computer, but I'm having the same problem described above. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

How to track/change access provided through SID History?

Hello there,

My question is completely summarized into the title but here are the details:

Currently, Access Reviews are made in the following manner;

- Servers have the DUMPs of what group and access is applied to every resource;

- Membership of every group is tracked and controlled through databases;

This kind of tracking is automated and every owner has a pretty good report through a GUI of the resources they own and who's applied there (e.g. Directory -> Local Group -> Global Group -> User IDs), they can choose to add/remove accounts on these groups and consequently change access to the resources.

After I move an account from domain A to domain B usind ADMT. If the accesses previously granted through Global Groups are kept through SID History, how can we keep track of that during Access Reviews and how can I change the SID History later if the attribute is protected? (i.e. remove one of the retained accesses).

AutoRefreshInterval does not work on a 2010 Foundation Hosted Anonymous Site - Only when you log in

I am working on a SharePoint Foundation 2010 hosted site with anonymous access. I created a webpart in Designer using Display Item Form and selected 15 as the Refresh Interval and confirmed that the parameter is in the code.

When I access the page in a browser anonymously, the refresh does not work. However, when I log into the site as a site collection administrator, the refresh works as expected every 15 seconds. I have not yet experimented with different permission levels...

I've searched these forums as well as the WWW for any documentation on the AutoRefreshInterval parameter with respect to permissions and have had no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue and perhaps knows of a fix? Thanks,

-Richard.

Here's an interesting test result.

I went into the Web Part Properties and Under the Ajax Controls, I enabled the Enable Asynchronous Load option. Now, when I access the page anonymously, I am prompted for an ID and password. I uncheck that option, I can load the webpart anonymously.

When I am logged in as a SCA and try to access the page with the Enable Asynchronous Load option checked, I do not get a prompt but instead get the green loading animated icon and the web part does not load. If I uncheck that option and refresh the page, the web part comes right up.

Could the functions running the Enable Asynchronous Update option be the same as the Enable Asynchronous Load option? If so, then of course the webpart is not going to refresh when you accessing the page anonymously.

Does anyone know of a way to allow the anonymous user to access the Asynchronous Load function? Thanks,

-Richard.

It was my own fault! I forgot I had security trimmed some items (like the quick launch) and when I reverted the masterpage back to the default, the Auto Refresh works as it is supposed to.

Now I need to go back and find out exactly what piece I need to expose to get this to work...

Wow! Thanks for the very quick response!!!

But that configuration is exactly what I have right now. I unchecked it just in case, but that didn't change anything when i was logged on anonymously, so I changed it back and still no luck.

I think it is a permissions issue, not a JS issue, unless the JS is permissions controlled?

-Richard.

This problem occurs because the JScript code for the automatic refresh is not processed.

To work around this problem, configure the Web Part or the regular list in Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010. To do this, follow these steps:

Open the page that contains the virtual List Web Part in Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010.
Click Edit file.
Click the Web part.
On the Options tab, click to select the Asynchronous Update check box.
Click the Refresh Interval drop-down list, select an interval, and then save the settings.

Warning: Don't use a registry cleaner. You never know what it does and may cause much problems. Since Windowx XP: Only Registry Hives are loaded, wich are used by an application. There is no performance improvement at all.

Some of such tools are simply vapoware. You should know that.

I do not advocate or recommend Reg cleaners, even discourage most people from messing w/ the Reg, @ all. But, though, one sees 'debate' regarding CCleaner... it is not usually seen in the same sphere as 'those nasty Reg cleaners'. Personally, I have never seen any problem caused by it, not in my machines or those of clients or other people's. It does get used or recommended occasionally to help 'fix' a 'problem'... for many years, personally, I treat CCleaner just as 1 part of keeping 'junk' cleared out, along w/ Internet Options & Disc Clean-up. I do, always, suggest unchecking the Jump List item so, those stay intact.

No offense taken :)
