too many sticky threads
Microsoft MVP VC++ | www.mariusbancila.ro | www.mariusbancila.ro/blog
A humble Suggestion..
First of all congrats for such a promising and great wonderful look..
Awesooooooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!
This is really good to see and the funtionalities have been drastically improved.
Feels great.
One suggestion though, the old forum had a drop down list of forums and was an easy way to navigate to any forum.
I am missing that feature in this version. It was very easy to navigate via that combo-box.
I hope you would put back the feature into the current look again.
I would keep updating this post as I explore the new features..
Thanks and keep up the good work..
Suggesttion#2: The sticky/admin posts should be kept away from the normal posts. What I mean is that they should be kept in a different area so that the user can distinguish between them and the normal question/answer posts. I got confused and had to spend some time distinguishing between which are the sticky ones and which one are the latest questions being posted. There are actually a lot of sticky threads. I hope you get my point.
Always mark the post that helped you as "Answer". That helps future users to locate answers quickly.

Formatting BDC Data using SharePoint Designer
I recently used SharePoint Designer to edit XSL of my BDC Web Part(s).
BDC Web parts display raw data returned from external line of business application, and master-detail lists can be associated, actions can be created, profile page can be edited...all those functionalies are great! Then I wanted to format data ($ values, decimal points, images etc). SharePoint Designer was handy tool! Whatever I could do with other Data View Web Part in Designer, I can do that all to BDC Web Part!
While I am entereing this thread as comments if this helps someone, here is also another link this forum suggested to me as related questions! https://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1683578&SiteID=1

Error: Subreport could not be shown
Can anyone please help out with this issue:
Here is the problem,
I developed 2 reports in Report Server and deployed them to //LocalHost/Reports
The First report is the Main Report and the Second report is the Sub Report to the Main Report, when I deployed the reports to the server tried to run them from the server, they rendered fine, however when users try to run the main report runs fine, but when they try to drill down to the sub report I get the Error: Subreport could not be shown
I did my research before posting this thread:
- I passed parameter to the sub report.
- I made sure the size of the sub report similar to the main report.
- I'm using the same name for my data sources for the Main Report and Sub Report (not shared Data Source though).
After checking all this I kept getting the same error.
At the end, I decided to develop simple 2 reports (Main and Sub Report) no parameters involved. I used the same data source name for the 2 reports, same report size with no parameters in the 2 reports. I deployed the project to the server, ran the report from the server, got no error. Then I tried on the User computer the Main Report rendered fine but when I tried to drill down to the sub report I got the same error Error: Subreport could not be shown.
Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this problem?
Thank you
John

Hey John,
Check the Report Server log file. My server has the logs at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\LogFiles
There should be some reason for the error reported in the log file. Could be a permission issue on the report.
Also, one thing confuses me. Subreports do not require drilldown. They should be shown in the body of the main report. What are you selecting to drilldown to the subreport?
------------------------------------
Reply:
Hi John,
Once check these.
1. Make sure the name given for the 'SubReport' in Main Report and the name given for the sub report in the reportmanager should be same.
2. Make Sure Main Report and SubReport should be in same folder in the Report Manager.

Got it. It was permissions issues
Thank you all

each time I refresh I see a different set of servers
I have set up a Windows Server 2008 based network. The AD server is on a standalone box and I have another host supporting 4 virtual servers. The host with the virtual servers has 3 NICs; one for the host and two for the virtual servers. When I click on My Network only some of the virtual servers show up. If I click Refresh I get a different set of servers.
Why can't I see all the active servers all the time?
Reply:
Could you please provide us with some information about your configuration?
What is the network configuration on your AD server? Is the AD server also your DNS Server? DHCP Server? IP addresses and masks?
How are the NICs on the second server set up? The one for the host should have multiple options selected, including the IP protocols. The two for the virtualization service should only have the Microsoft Virtual Network Service Protocol box checked in the properties. IP addresses and masks?
How did you define the networks in the virtual machines? External/Local/Private? IP addresses and masks?

windows media player has stopped working " ANSWERED "
I have found the SOLUTION for "windows media player has stopped"
I was having the same problem as most of you. My media player would stop working before even starting to work! I looked around and nobody had the solution. the problem is that my "ffdshow.ax" (codecs and filters) were corrupted. So as soon as WMP would open it would stop working right away. I removed all my old codecs and filters....reinstalled VISTA CODEC BUNDLE.... and repaired ac3filter files. So in short the codecs and or filters on your computers might be responsible for this problem.
Good luck to all

IBCM needs much more detail

That can be found in the docs and I've answered one of your questions in a separate thread even with a link to where it's documented.
Even the firwall settings can be found in a VERY detailed way here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632618.aspx.
SCCM is a very huge and powerful product that can be customized and scaled in many different ways. It's impossible to cover each and every single scenario and each and every technology touched by SCCM (AD, firewalls, permission, SQL, msi's, ...), BUT the SCCM docs team did a very great job in putting their documentation together.
So I don't see a problem - except that you're complaining about that you are not able to set up SCCM to meet all of your customer's needs. But such a design question cannot be solved completely in a forum, because there a way too many factors you have to take care of.

I'm sorry that you've had a tough time trying to implement Internet-based client management. It's a complex feature and isn't self-contained– it has numerous external dependencies and there are many variations in which it can be installed. For example, in addition to the 9 different server placement designs, there are also variations within each of these as you've discovered with respect to domain and forest placement, but all these are independent from IBCM in that the feature doesn't have a specific requirement for domain/forest placement and that is why these are not shown in the diagrams.
The only feature requirement for domains (which is documented in Prerequisites for Internet-Based Client Management) is that the Internet-based site systems reside within an Active Directory domain. I would expect customers to check the feature prerequisites in addition to a network diagram. However, it has always been a requirement that site systems reside on domain-joined computers because the product leverages domain security. When a system is distributed, it's very hard to secure it without central security. Configuration Manager is aimed at enterprise customers who already have Active Directory performing this function of central security, so it uses that rather than creating a new and separate security system.
IBCM is not a feature to implement without careful planning to ensure that you can meet the feature requirements and implement them in a way that satisfies your business requirements. This feature was designed with the expectation that customers will have the resources to configure the external dependencies themselves, or get in expertise as needed – and the IBCM documentation reflects this design. The product documentation includes details for configuring Configuration Manager but not supporting products or technologies - because we can document only what the Configuration Manager product group owns and supports with their code. The feature probably isn't suitable for you if you can't meet the prerequisites or the overheads do not justify the investment.
The IBCM documentation has been available since Beta 2 so that it could be checked by as many people as possible before RTM. However, with all the possible variations I can see how some details might still be missing and when these are specific to Configuration Manager, we will do our best to incorporate these in future updates. That's one of the reasons why we check these forums, but you can also send documentation feedback to SMSDocs@Microsoft.com.

I understand what you're saying, but I disagree. Even if the only purpose this forum serves is to act as a point from which to start discussion on issues people are having, then the forum has a useful purpose. Sure, just providing an email address would do that too, but the forum at least allows people to see they're not alone.
There are several threads on this forum where people, myself included, have been rattling around various phone & email help desks without getting answers to our problems. Posting on this forum has allowed many people to move forward with the issues they have been having.
Perhaps a better course of action would be to widen the scope of this forum so that responsible people from other teams involved in providing content etc for the elearning site were also involved.
One issue is privacy - in many cases where the discussion is taken off the forum and into email it is to allow a direct one-to-one exchange between the customer and someone at Microsoft to allow specific issues to be examined in detail.
One suggestion might be for the admin people to post back to a thread that was taken in to an email discussion when the issue is resolved, providing any general information that might help other people experiencing the same issue.

A whole week has now gone by since I reported a problem with redeeming an E-Learning Voucher.
I've posted on this forum, I've mailed the microsoft_support@training.com address on the back of the voucher - all I've had so far is someone ask for the codes on the vouchers.
No resolution, no reply to indicate the problem is being looked at. Nothing.
As I said on this forum, this problem is even worse than not being able to purchase learning material through the shopping cart because in this case I've already spent my money, but now I've got no product to show for it.
The lack of action on the part of Microsoft and Element-K who are behind the above email address is once again disgraceful.
If you're not going to fix the problem, who do I request a refund for my useless vouchers from? It's not the fault of the company I purchased the vouchers from. It's between Microsoft & Element-K. So, who do I send my bill to?
This forum is a waste of time. It serves no purpose if customers are not going to be responded to in good time. Good time in my book means within 24 hours. 48 at a push.

I am very sorry that it has taken some time for me to reply to this thread and to your issue. I was out of the office and we also had the holiday here in the United States.
This issue is indeed with the voucher and not with the Microsoft Learning Site. We will make sure that your vouchers are working for the courses expected and that your issues are being taken care of.
Please email me directly so we can work this issue to a resolution and you continue to be supportive of the Learning Manager application. You have been a tremendous helpful asset to the forums and we would hate to see you not feel like you are getting what you pay for.
Thanks-

Obviously no one wants to deprive hard working people of their holidays, but perhaps there are lessons that can be learned here.
Maybe given that the audience for this forum is international, there could be a notice posted on the forum to indicate that the forum will be unmonitored for local holiday periods?
Maybe additional people could help out answering the issues to take some of the pressure of Alicia who seems to be the only person who answers customers issues?
People have problems getting support on e-learning via phone and email - this forum seems to be the only means by which people get E-learning issues resolved. So perhaps widening the scope of this forum to cover the actual training content and issues surrounding voucher usage would be something to think about?
Anyway, all seems to be working again now, and I've spent my vouchers so I don't need to pursue a refund from anyone.
I'm back in supportive mode. :)

Something like hotmail's or gmail's classic/light version is what I have in mind.
Toggle line numbers in code snippets
The problem at the moment is a post author can post a code snippet with line numbers on (i.e. hard-coded in the post), then users have no choice but to copy the code with line numbers in.
I suggest you have a link to toggle them on/off at the users discretion, like some wiki software's do. E.g. see here: http://moinmo.in/WikiSandBox
Tool tip stopped working
30 minutes later open the thread and hover over the link and there is no tooltip.
Opened the editor and checked the link and it is still in the properties.
Canceled the edit and went back to thread and it worked.
Refreshed the page and then it does not work again.
Opened a new instance of the forums and went to that thread and no tooltip.
