custom web part
hi,
I want to create a webpart with custom properities.
those are same as gantt columns..
is it posible?
Reply:
Sure it is possible.
It's just a programming... you need to create a web part project, define all exposed properties, define a data source for your web part, create a data layer that prepares your data and finally create a control that will display some data as the final result.

Synchronous Wait Chain Lock - I hate it when that happens ;)
Hi All,
My first time here and hopefully I brought you a puzzler to work on :)
I had trouble with my Ethernet Adapter which was attached to an External Virtual Adapter being used for a VM so after fussing with it for a bit decided to disconnect the VSA/VSC, "not sure which you all use as an approved acronym, note to self, must get into training and labs soon :)", from the Eth adapter so as to isolate my trouble shooting.
I got the bar letting you know its working to disconnect the switch and was lucky enough to be presented with the challenge of it now going away ;)
Previously no issues like this with the server 8 dev so this was new.
Love the new task manager with all the extra info, which led me to the conclusion that I had encountered a synchronous vs asynchronous wait chain. I tested this by trying to delete the csrss or the svchost alone and both together etc... and put my computer to bed multiple times, quite elegantly I might add, no bsod just a nice little count down letting me know it was going to take a little sleep. This all makes sense as there are many other services tied to those two PID's.
The ms article on wait chain traversal is here Wait Chain Traversal
This the popout from the task manager below. I will be sifting through the dumps for additional info but thought I would throw this out and see if in fact there was a known quick fix or workaround to kill the processes with out dumping my machine :)
Thanks for all you guys and gals do
xclr8tr
Edit:
Still looking for the dumps, I thought they were in root under C:\ but must be wrong, will continue to look until someone provides more direction.
As for the root cause of this event:
User error I'm sure lol :) in server 8 dev there were not so many things to make mistakes with and you were prevented somewhat from making them or at least warned. I imagine it will be the same with the beta as they sort things out.
There were added some choices, which I can't get to at the moment, in the dev addition toward the end when setting up virtual networks, It looks like there may be more in the beta, an expample would be IPSEC encryption which is under settings after you have selected the VM you're about to use. In beta I noticed that some of these fields were pre-filled and I didn't bother to uncheck them as I figured they were the default, in reflection though they weren't selected in server 8 dev.
The Ipsec seems to be part of the problem or at least a symptom of where I made a wrong choice. I only know that because if I go back to both Device Manager and Network Adapter settings and look at the adapters with the selection to not hide system files or folders and I see that I now have two adapters for Ethernet LAN and two for WiFi one of which has Ipsec crypto stuff on one of the tabs and the other one showing the typical information I'm used to looking at.
I'll admit to not being a formally trained Admin and am just getting ready to dive into the deep end of they pool because of my new found love of all things Virtual and Hyper-V this stuff is truly a game changer at this point in space and time unlike the past with Citrix etc... people weren't ready then. Now everyone is moving in the same direction at the same time and I want a piece of this most likely from the sales side with an Admin perspective to boot... Got carried away there ha ;)
So I don't know if there were supposed to be two each or not. but I disabled one yesterday to do some testing not being aware there was a second one. I went in this morning and I saw the one I hadn't disabled and so wasn't looking for the one I had. I guess you find what your looking for eh.
I believe this somehow caused the problem and again not sure of the specifics as only the dump and events catalogs would tell us that. so will be making my way to the events just prior to lock up. Which I am still stuck in as I can not get the machines to boot nor get into either the virtual switch adapter nor the settings for the VM to check and make changes.
Don't worry, this isn't an enterprise environment, just me and five laptops ha ha my own little lab.
I've been rambling so if you need to please as me for the very specific information that you need to have and its whereabouts and I will get it.
I'm sure that this will happen again to others as the defaults need to be set differently or set to communicate there dependencies etc...
Can't think of a better way to learn, make all the mistakes you can now, if your not making lots of mistakes your not learning... I'm making lots of mistakes LOL ;)

Adding additional data
This is a typical Error message I'm seeing regarding the virtual switches
Failed to complete offload policy operation on port 10A42D50-0C4C-4481-8FFA-940CE54D8770 (Friendly Name: Dynamic Ethernet Switch Port) on switch 0F702297-DDB3-41C4-B8B7-4330438BC02D (Friendly Name: Ext LAN VSC) - IPSecOffloadLimit: 512, VMQOffloadWeight: 100, IovOffloadWeight: 100, QueuePairs: 0, InterruptModeration: 0. Reason: Unknown
I will save my minidumps for the MS Employees if they need, I have 4.
It was difficult to extricate myself from the virtual switch adapter but now that I'm out I'm going to reset everything and start again.

Can you err, restate the issue clearly without all the funny fluff, side remarks, and assumptions? It's not clear what the actual problem is -- are you having an issue with an Ethernet adapter bound to a virtual NIC in Hyper-V? Or simply with offloading?
------------------------------------
Reply:
I started up a new vm, a linux distro. Backtrack 5 r2 to be precise. Which ran fine in the prior server 8 dev. It ran fine initially in server 8 beta.
After having shut it down and then coming back the next day the Eth external adapter wouldn't fire up the VM, it was attached to the VM with a regular Network Adapter vs a legacy adapter.
I tried then to disconnect the Network adapter in order to create some additional isolation to trouble shoot.
The Network adapter would not release from the VM nor the Switch until I finally deleted it out of the device manager having crashed the beta several times in between while trying to disconnect it normally.
The major difference was the default setting on network adapter, set to IPsec offload and VMQ enabled.
I now have it hooked back up with out those those enabled and it is running fine.
I won't debate whether I should have been using a legacy vs normal adapter etc... That may have been fubar on my part.
I do think that the adapter and switch should have released as usual without spending hours watching my computer crash as I struggled to find a way to release it.
Possibly a warning of some kind in popup, if configuration is not supported initially.
Its a beta so I expect problems... posted just in case others were facing similar issues disconnecting adapters from the virtual switch.
I found the Wait Chain information and reference while trying to determine how to disconnect from the task manager side of things after determining that what I deemed to be the normal way was futile.
Yes I did terminate the PID's to see if I could escape it without a crash which didn't work. This only hastened the crash though as it would crash on its own if I did nothing.
At this point all is well in my world as I study further the new adapter features and try to discover which ones will be useful for both my windows and linux vm's and why...
So having said all that I would again say it was my mistake in hooking them up initially in an unsupported way and would like to know if there is an easier way to disconnect should it happen again or should I just do that through deletion in the device manager.
Sorry this is long, feel free to summarize if you like (or just call me an idiot ;)
Thanks for checking on me and let me know if you enjoyed this diatribe lol :)

Edit:
To be more succinct and directly answer your question... the issue was regarding the Ethernet adapter bound to the NIC in Hyper-V and my inability to affect it's release.
As for the offloading I understand the concept "to offload something", but do not fully understand the implications, needs or requirements as it pertains specifically to IPsec and would be open to reference or instruction or will eventually arrive at it by way of my friend Google :)

I was unable to start VM. I don't have the exact error but had to do with the Adapter and I believe it also pointed to IPsec. When I tried to disengage the adapter I was unable to although I did get the waiting bar with the line that goes back and forth. After a period of time it just crashed but rather than a classic BSOD event I received a quick prompt with countdown of maybe 5 or 10 seconds as it shut itself off. Possibly a new rendition of the classic blue screen but doing the minidump during countdown, my guess.

RDP ( Terminal server session) unable to map client's Drive and printer
Hi,
We are using window server 2003 SP2 as a terminal server. We have observed that suddenly RDP clients computer drive and printers are not getting mapped (redirected) in terminal sessions. We diagnosed this issues so hard and unable to find resolution. Lastly we formatted the OS and reinstalled and it worked for 2-3 hours and redirection was happening. Then, after 3 hours again same issue of redirection occurred. We checked the event viewer but nothing comes related to this issues.
F.Y.I., we have installed all the relevant printer drivers though it does not redirect. I guess there must setting which needs to configure for terminal server. Because we already formatted OS and found such issues. We too checked the setting of RDP-TCP properties > client Settings > In disable the following uncheked all except audio mapping. Please help me to rectify this issues. Support and assistance with this regards are warm welcome.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please ensure that the policy that disables printer redirection is turned off.
The full path of this node in the Group Policy Management Console is:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
Do not allow client printer redirection:
This policy setting allows you to specify whether to prevent the mapping of client printers in Terminal Services sessions.
You can use this policy setting to prevent users from redirecting print jobs from the remote computer to a printer attached to their local (client) computer. By default, Terminal Services allows this client printer mapping.
- If you enable this policy setting, users cannot redirect print jobs from the remote computer to a local client printer in Terminal Services sessions.
- If you disable this policy setting, users can redirect print jobs with client printer mapping.
- If you do not configure this policy setting, client printer mapping is not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can still disable client printer mapping by using the Terminal Services Configuration tool.
Ensure that the spooler service is running on both the client and Server.
When the "mapping drivers" is gone suddenly, you can type \\tsclient\ in the RUN or Explorer windows console to see if the "mapping drivers" is exists.
Please also check the Group Policy if it's set to disable Drive Mapping.
The full path of this node in the Group Policy Management Console is:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection
Make sure you have installed the latest updates for Terminal server.
Please also make sure you have been installed the latest NIC driver in Terminal server.
The client computer have installed RDC 6.1 or above (Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and above includes this). You also can install the Remote Desktop Connection 7.0.

User could then manually pin many applications in one go from the All Apps interface. This would require adding a app bar to all apps screen, and allowing multiple apps to be selected, and pinned to the start screen.
Or/And...Additionally start screen should automatically create groups, when large apps are installed, helping user from getting a very cluttered interface

Sound interface
THX TrueStudio Pro was something installed with this new PC I bought. Its feature "Smart Volume" adjust all sounds fx. so no matter what video you play, the sounds will be arranged in defined range. But then when you play a game and want to lower only the music, THX SmartVolume keep on raising it again, because its range always center around middle and not fx. from very low to middle.
So maybe the windows sound mixer control would be better, if the ALL scroller had a minimum (= the lowest sound user recoqnize) and a maximum (= the highest sound that does not disturb neighbours)

Exchange 2010 SP2 Install failed at Mailbox Role in DAG
I Have a Exchange 2010 SP1 DAG with two Exchange servers. I have first made both databases active on the first exchange server and suspended the replication. Also disabled the replication network. The installed SP2 on the second server without any problems.
Then activated the databases on the second Exchange server. Enabled the replication network and waited untill the databases had the status healty. Deactivated the databases on the first Exchange server en disabled replication.
I am now trying to install SP2 on the first Exchange server, this upgrad failes at the mailbox role. With te error: The following error was generated when "$erro.Clear();start-SetupService - Servicename MSExchangeSA "was run: "Service 'MSExchangeS' failed to reach status'Running' on this server.".

Hi kogam,
Do you only have two Exchange 2010 servers with all Server Roles installed? If yes, you cannot manually start the Transport Service on the second DAG member(SP2)? What's the error when you try to start the service?
Please make sure all Services are running on the first DAG member before you install SP2.
You should have run the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script to put the DAG member into maintenance mode.

yes, even Microsoft's TMG (Threat Management Gateway) offers the HTTPS Inspection as one of its capabilities. It works like the intermediate firewall or proxy faking the remote server certificates - when a client request is proxied, the proxy connects to the target web server itself, obtaines its certfiicate and copies its properties to a newly crafted certificate (which is also signed by the proxy itself). This way, the proxy effectively terminates the SSL tunnel, decrypts the traffic, inspects it and again re-encrypts it on the other side.
Basically, there is not a simple way how to make yourself "encrypted" inside the proxied tunnel. Some options may be:
a) web sites, that require clients to have their own client certificates cannot be inspected, because this requirement ensures mutual certificate authentication and the proxy cannot fake the client certificates
b) you can use some "anonymizers". This way, although your traffic is not encrypted, the proxy will not see your actuall URL that you type into the browser - this may be a lot sufficient often, because the proxies often log the URLs and nobody will see what URL you were accessing. Though the contents of the web pages could be inspected for malware and some denied words for example. If you want to prevent such attempts, you would block the anonymizer sites.
c) you could also connect to a SSL VPN (for example Microsoft SSTP). This traffic would create double tunnel while the proxy would probably inspect just the VPN wrapper and would not see into the internal HTTPS traffic. If you wanted to preven such attempts, the proxy may be able to block such VPN connections.

Some suggestions on Metro & Windows 8
I'd like to make a few suggestions on improvements to Metro & Windows 8:
- Allow users to change the Metro background, and provide some nice backgrounds by default, instead of just plain colors.
- Allow users to change icons, and possibly provide some icon sets. For example, if I don't like the Mail icon, let me use my own.
- An introduction/tour of the Metro interface would be very welcome.
- Make it easier to integrate a Windows Live ID with a domain account.
- Proper error reporting on the setup of an Exchange account, there's no way of knowing why you're not able to connect to your server.

Why can't I get admxprox.dll? (IIS install)
Hi there. I am having trouble installing IIS on my machine. I found the first .dll file (can't recall the name) in Service Pack 3 (XP Professional) but can't find admxprox.dll (the next file I need for the install).
I've reinstalled SP3 and searched everywhere for a possible location to no avail. Oh yes, and it also tells me to load the XP Pro CD, but I don't have it since our IT dept installs XP without the actual disks.

Just because your IT department dont have physical CDs anymore doesnt mean they cant make you a CD. If they are able to install XP, they have the installation files, if they have the installation files they can make a CD with those for you. Or simply put the files on a USB stick if thats more convenient.
Why do you need IIS on your client PC though?

Yes! Their sensitivity and area of activation could use some tweaking.
I have a dual monitor setup with the primary in front of me and the secondary to the left. It can get frustrating to stab the mouse cursor into the lower-left to activate the start menu without it going onto the secondary monitor.
If you click the far right of the taskbar it activates the Show Desktop function and you see the task bar highlight a rectangular portion of the taskbar indicating you pressed the "button". I think there should be the same thing for the Start Menu on the left with the addition of the line that used to be there in Windows 7 to give context that the area can be clicked.

Using out of the box SharePoint, a field/column validation cannot refer to any other column. If you want to validate fields against each other you must use the list validation.
Your expression "=AND([ExpirationDate]>=TODAY())" makes no sense as you are not ANDing anything.

Sharepoint asks for my password 3 times but never shows retrieves the Central Administration page?
Hello Community
With Windows 2003 Server as the domain controller I installed Sharepoint 2010
Evaluation by clicking SharepointServer on a member server running Windows 2008 Server
Enterprise Service Pack 2 with SQL Server 2008R Evalution 64bit edition.
The instructions are:
-Click the link to run the Prerequisites
-Install Sharepoint 2010
The installation was successful then I ran the Configuration Wizard to
install SQL Server 2008R evaluation.
The Sharepoint Configuration Database and the Sharepoint Content database
were created successfully in SQL Server.
The problem is that when I click finish the Wizard is supposed to take me to
the Central Administration page but it didn't. Instead I got an error stating:
"The handle is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070006 (E_HANDLE))"
To try and fix it by restarting IIS Admin Service, Sharepoint Central Administration v4 and
Sharepoint 2010 Timer.
I click "Central Administration" the results were:
A dialog box appears and I type in my password 3 different times but I
never get in instead I get:
Now the address bar displays "<machine name:port number>\_layouts\error.aspx"
The page displays "Unexpected error"
Everytime I click Central Administration is asks me for my password 3 times but doesn't retrieve Central Administration page.
(In Adminstration tools IIS6 was installed but I think only for compatibility because it is
blank and if I run "inetmgr" IIS7 pops up)
Finally my browser is IE8 and in IIS7 I stopped and started "Central Administration" then
click "Central Administration" and the results were:
The address bar displayed "<machine name:port number>"
The page was blank
What I could see is that Sharepoint 2010 has a 14 hive and earlier the address bar had
"<machine name:port number>\_layouts\error.aspx"
and the page displays "Unexpected error"
but after I stopped and started Central Administration I only go to
"<machine name:port number>"
and the page is blank
I don't know what all of this means but I think if I can successfully run Central Administration
I will get the default page in the address bar.
The question is why am I not getting to the default page from the hive for Central Administration if
that is what is supposed to appear and how come I am being prompted for my password 3 times
but doesn't retrieve the Central Administration page?
Thank you
Shabeaut

PDFs
A wee tip/suggestion:
Rt Clk on .pdf file
Set it (them) to default to 'Other' (PDF) Reader rather than the out-of-the-box Windows Reader (App) when opening.

I think this still works too, haven't had a chance to try it though.

The BCD store settings would be the preferred method to enter safe mode on systems that need to do so.

Going through msconfig right off the bat works. I went Win8 to Safe Mode, that way, easily.
The F8, Shift+F8 method I can't try. Minor disadvantage of duel-boot.

In addition, I find these two links helpful as to recovery/repair options in Win 8, and one I use often in Win 7 that also works in Win 8 when others don't is to use the bootrec switches from a command prompt outside of Windows that you can access using the info below:
How to Run Automatic Repair in Windows 8:

How to Boot to System Recovery Options in Windows 8:

Here's some context for some of these Recovery/Repair options by Desmond Lee, a PM on the Win RE team:

The bcdedit /enum /v line doesn't work.

I have an entry for Windows 7 in my bcd store so I can't use F8 either.
The only problem with using msconfig is that you have to be able to get into Windows in the first place, which usually isn't the case. I usually only use safe mode if the system isn't booting the normal way.
It'd be nice if F8 worked with dual-boot systems.

Fully concur w/ you on all points.
Yeah, I don't have or get the DP path listed, in the 1st place... so it's all moot.
But, yeah, I recall when I went to Safe from msnconfig, "Well, this ain't much good unless, which you likely wouldn't be"... Umm, duh. So, exactly, not much help, lol.
