IE7+ prompts should save our answers, site-based
Sorry I didn´t find any newsgroup for IE'Beta3'. Please let me know.
If we set IE to ask confirmation in several zone security items, e.g. "sites in less privileged zones may navigate to this zone", or "allow mixed content", every access always have to be confirmed. It is anoying when we have to frequently visit a site (and maybe we "relatively" trust it) which uses some kind of this page "techniques".
IE should show server/site name trying to execute the asked action and offer to save the answer to that server/site (pretty much like popup blocker does). Does this could be implemented to RC?
Moderator, excuse me again if this is not right place, if so please cross-post to the appropriate group ;-o
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite-Failure to Install

There are 2 Security Suites in Beta for Vista available now. One is from CA (EZ Trust) and Trend Micro (PC-Cillin). I downloaded and install PC-Cillin and it works fine. But remember the built in security of Vista is much more effective than XP. The firewall in Vista blocks both in-bound and out-bound spys. The only missing piece of security for Vista out of the box is Anti-Virus.

CMD: %ERRORLEVEL% and %0 behaviors; vars delayed expansion
Sorry if I post this in wrong folder, I didn´t find any for script support in Vista.
FIRST:
Well, we use several .CMD old-way scripts in unattended setups for XP, and trying with Vista we still have same problems.
One problem is about %ERRORLEVEL% behavior when it is used in same line after the command. Try this (right at prompt or in a .CMD):
dir|find "#" &if not "%errorlevel%"=="1" echo *
dir|find "#" &if not "%errorlevel%"=="1" echo *
dir|find "b" &if not "%errorlevel%"=="1" echo *
dir|find "b" &if not "%errorlevel%"=="1" echo *
You will see ERRORLEVEL always reporting a previous line result, not "find" result of its own line.
The solution is put IF in a line below the command we wanna test, but this complicates much our scripts, and in some cases when we have to nest IFs depending on testing different command results, this is VERY complicated.
For example: dir|find "x.$$$" &if "%errorlevel%"=="1" (xcopy x.$$$ %windir%\deploy &if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto ERRSTP)
In the case of ERRORLEVEL, we use it in SEVERAL (many, really) scripts in our deployment routines. A simple revision in CMD processing of this variable (evaluate last command result in same line) would save us time in debugging BATs and CMDs, enhance legibility of scripts (more structured) and reduce their sizes.
I believe this would not affect compatibility, as we believe the current behavior is a wrong one and we have to "deal" with it in scripts (put IFs in a subsequent line to test previous issued command); if behavior changes, scripts would be unaffected in their current logic, due IFs are in subsequent line of a command, but tons of new scripts could be written using the new behavior.
SECOND:
If you call some .CMD from UI, %0 is auto-appended double quotes. If you call it from prompt, this not occurs. For example, if a file Z.cmd just one line: echo %0 & pause
Call Z.cmd from UI and after from prompt...
As we does not know how some of staff call our setup scripts, we ALWAYS have to test %0 in CMDs for presence of "" (this is hard work, believe), then proceed to the rest of script.
We'd wishing auto-"" from UI not happening in Vista, but... you guess it. If you could change we would appreciate TOO much :-)
THIRD:
We would like CMD environment variables "delayed expansion" be on BY DEFULT (not have to change registry/reboot to do that).
LAST:
I know this is an "old stuff" post, but we would like to get the opportunity of participate in a new windows version build, to correct some "little things" since NT times that were not productive. This might be the right time.
Ratio determined from another dimension?
Can it be done and is it a normal practice to calculate a ratio based on another dimension's hierarchy?
I have a portfolio hierarchy/dimension which from a business perspective is used in many calculations. Other dimensions such as "Rating", "Issuer", and many risk characteristics are compared to it (i.e. % of "A" rated bonds in a given portfolio). In my calculated field I am planning to take the market value of the "A" rated bonds and divide it by the Market Value of the portfolio even though "Portfolio" and "Rating" are different dimensions. I am trying to make sure that I am going down the right path. Many examples just show ratios based on a different level in the same hierarchy.

Feature or Bug?
Service Broker will let you create two services with the same name (one with contract and another without)
CREATE
SERVICE [Order Msg Recieve] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] ON QUEUE [dbo].[Order Return Msg Queue]CREATE
SERVICE [Order Msg Receive] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] ON QUEUE [ODS].[Order Return Msg Queue] ([OrderSubmission])When you delete the service....
drop
service [Order Msg Recieve]It will only drop the first one. In the BOL there is no syntax for telling it to delete the second one, however you can drop it from SQL Management Studio.
I stumbled over this by accident. Just FYI

Neither feature nor a bug. Typo. One service is named 'Receive', one is named 'Recieve'. Note the 'cei' vs. 'cie'.

Hi,
First of all, Vista is not a freeware. The beta2 avaliable from MS is a retail product preview version. So, using CD-Key is normal for a retail products.
Besides, MS want to control the number of install of the beta2. That's why a CD-Key was required.
------------------------------------
Reply:
A more accurate way of putting it - Vista is NOT freeware. The idea behind a beta release is to let people test a product for you. In RETURN for the free use of the software, they test and report back any flaws, bugs or issues they might come across so they get fixed.
Secondly... Ok. Let's say they leave the product key part out of the beta. Now, let's flash forward to say a cold day in January. The big day's finally come. Vista will be released to the masses. So, you bop on down to your favorite software vendor and stand in line (ok.. Maybe that's a bit of wishful thinking. But then again, it never hurts to think BIG!) and you finally get to the front of the line and plunk down your duckets and make a mad beeline home.
You pop the DVD into your computer's drive and proceed to boot from the DVD. (Now, of course, you've been preparing this computer for weeks - backing everything up should something go horribly wrong. Right?) So the Vista DVD spins up and starts loading Vista's basics. It checks out your hardware and starts loading drivers. The GUI pops up and asks you for your product key.
So you find the product key on the package and type it in and click Next. Now, instead of getting the next screen, the program starts complaining that the product key you supplied is invalid. Whoops.
You check it again, you type in in over again, thinking you might have made a mistake (that 8 looks an awful lot like it might be a B or the 0 looks like an O...) Still no joy.
You call Microsoft. Only you get a busy signal for the next couple of days - because other people's product keys are also marked as invalid and the line's jammed. DOH!
Rule #1 in any testing regimen - TEST EVERYTHING! No matter how trivial something might be, if there's a chance it will blow chunks and cause problems - it will. Better for something to blow up on you during a beta phase than on opening day.

Welcome!
Welcome to the new Windows Server Failover Clustering newsgroup!
You will notice I called it "Failover Clustering", because that's the new name for the feature which you previously knew in Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 as "Server Clustering" or in Windows NT 4.0 as the Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS). Longhorn is bringing some exciting changes for Failover Clustering, and this is going to be our biggest release ever!
First off you will notice the look and feel of clustering is brand new. Our Cluster Administrator management tool has been rewritten and is task oriented. Many things in Longhorn Failover Clustering are completely new, from the way storage is managed, to the way nodes communicate with each other, the security model, to the way you administer one. If you want an overview of all the features coming, here's a link to a WebCast that will give you more information:
http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032271683&Culture=en-US
Failover Clustering is in Beta 2 and is ready for you to start trying out. So please, install it, try it out, and post what you think here. We are very interested in your feedback!
Thanks!!

That's the design of the copy functionality.
The graphical views copy as bitmaps and the tabular views copy as tables. There's a fine distinction between what's "graphical" and what's a "table" - essentially anything that looks "table-like" is a table, otherwise it's graphical.
The intention is that the graphics can easily be created from the table data. For example, if you download the Office 2007 beta and paste in what you copy from the Cluster Characteristics view, you can use the databars feature in Excel 2007 to easily create a facsimile of the Cluster Characteristics view.
For some views, notably the Cluster Overview view, the format of the table isn't very useful. This is fixed in SP2, which will release later this year.

Error 80070241 Solution
Hi all,
To Get around this error,
i used the system recovery in the vista setup screen, Open up Two Command Line Panels goto your DVD Rom Drive For Example D:\
then go cd source Directory Note: This is where setup files are and the install.wim file is located which is causing the issue maybe due to its 3GB big
ok inside the other command line panel goto your C:\ and create a folder called vista
now back to your other Command line pannel at your dvd rom drive type xcopy /E /T *.* c:\Vista [Note: this will copy all the files from your dvd to that folder even including subdirectorys this will take aprox 10 - 15 mins+ depending on the speed of the dvd rom
once its complete goto your c:\Vista\Source directory and type attrib -r *.*
then run setup.exe within c:\vista\source .. this will bypass that error you will no longer reciveve due to all the install files are running off c:

In the command line, for copy all files, launch first:
xcopy /E /T *.* c:\vista
and after:
xcopy /E /H *.* c:\vista
for last launch the command:
ATTRIB -R C:VISTA\*.* /S
the copy is correctly complete!

/T specifies to copy directory structure only without copying files.
I think xcopy with /E /H /Y will work better ?
------------------------------------
Reply:
is best use first the /T parameter to keep directory structure, secondarily with /H for copying files.
/Y is only if you have copied file and/or directory previously and you want overwrite without the confirm question.

I had this problem on all of my machines ranging from p4 1.6 (northwood) on a gigabyte 8IRX with 1Gb DDR to my P4 2.8 (prescott) on a gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro with 1Gb DDR.
This workaround allowed me to finally install!

example setting up of semi-additive measure in a cube for ssas 2005
Is there an example of setting up a semi-additive measure for SSAS 2005. I've seen some for 2000 but hear that 2005 has great support for them.
Additionally I have heard of "built in balances" which might apply to my situation. Does anybody know of any articles on the subject?

Hi Patrick,
Most product to install on a pc require a product key to unlock them, once they are on your system. I don't think that could be blamed on the programmers, but rather, on modern technology. Is there a certian problem you are experiancing? I don't think bashing the programers with names will solve your problem. But if you can post the problem you are experiancing, I am sure the forum participants would be more than happy to help.
------------------------------------

Well Patrick...
What can I say... Vista is not FREEWARE. Vista is a BETA product. Meaning, it's not quite perfect as yet. And as it is a BETA product, one of the things that people who are taking part of the beta program do is TEST the product. That means FULLY testing everything.
That includes the installation routines.
That includes the routines that revolve around the CD Key.
That includes activation.
Just think for a minute if Microsoft didn't include the CD Key bit in the Vista Beta. So there you are, you've tested Vista, you've played with it and it's now expired. So you bop on down to your local computer shop and buy the full upgrade. You insert the DVD and it wants your CD Key.
Only the CD Key doesn't work. The program freezes or rejcts the CD Key. Mind you, it's a legit key. Microsoft's tech support (that is, when you actually do get ahold of them since they're swamped with tech calls from everyone else who's bought a copy and can't get it to work for the same reason) has confirmed it's a legitimate key.
So now what? Gee, ya think it might have been better to beta test it first?
So... While you may feel like an idiot for downloading the file without getting the CD key first, your posts only confirm it.

Hi Patrick,
It sounds like you aren't part of the Beta program, but the bits were readily available, you downloaded them with good intentions and then couldn't get them to install. That is a frustrating position that many folks on the forum are complaining about. I've already posted a link for folks who are part of the Beta to mail to get correct keys. I will now research and respond back on a generic thread with what I find out for folks in your spot, and why we did it this way in the first place. It has been confusing for a number of folks.
Thanks, Shawn

Windows Explorer Request: Drag & Drop comfirmation prompt
Hi,
Could an option PLEASE be added to Windows Explorer to display a confirmation prompt before the completion of a drag & drop operation? There are many people on web-forums looking for this functionality!
For the umpteenth time we have just had a case this week of a folder mysteriously disappearing because someone accidentally moved a folder. I don't blame the person who did it, I've done it myself. It is simply too easy to move a folder with a slip of a mouse button, and not even notice it happened!
I could not find a Microsoft Windows suggestions webpage, so figured this forum is the most appropriate. So can I also make a suggestion for a Windows suggestions page?
Thankyou
Installation comments
Windows Vista installed first time. That's good.
I burned my own DVD image at lower speed than maximum (8x) of my DVD recorder: 4x.
This is day 2 of use and so far I have a couple of comments about the installation:
- First, I live in Argentina. In one of the first setup screens it asks you to enter your location, so I chose: Spanish(Argentina). Now this is the thing: Here in Argentina, the computer dealers brought different kinds of keyboards: The three more common ones are US, Latin American and Spanish. Windows Vista Setup allows me to choose the first two, but Spanish keyboard has to be chosen after installation in the Control Panel. It would be nice to be able to choose another kind of keyboard layout during setup (how about an option <Other>) .
- I had spent some time trying to configure the network, since I am using a virtual machine to test Windows Vista and found out some comments in the help guide of the virtual machine software to make it work.
- One other point is that when the machine is put to sleep: When I resume there is no network connection. I have to restart Windows Vista to make the network connection available.
For now, that's all

managing ssis behind a firewall
Just a comment for people who are experiencing problems.
We are managing our ssis servers from a subnet that is blocked off from our production network via a firewall as I'm sure many people do. The problem we were facing was that when we tried to connect to an ssis instance we could get to dcom through port 135 which BOL states should be open. What BOL does not say is that dcom then arbitrarily assigns a high numbered port for the management interface to connect to. This was not very desirable since we would have had to open a gaping hole in our firewall.
The solution we have come up with is in windows 2003 you can map a static port to a com server through a registry key.
First you must find the applicationid (guid) of MsDtsServer in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\ registry hive. From what I can tell this is always {F38B7F09-979B-4241-80D9-2EADED02954F}.
You then need to specify a new REG_MULTI_SZ value named Endpoints with the value of ncacn_ip_tcp,0,<port number>. You can only set one port, not a range.
Now you should be able to restart SSIS and connect through the port you specified (you still need port 135 for dcom though).
The specific process is detailed in more in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q312960
Let me know what you guys think, we haven't put this through the testing gauntlet yet

HTML 3.2 Rendering
Hello RS users,
As you may know, the HTML 3.2 rendering extension is a deprecated feature in Reporting Services 2005:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143509.aspx
In the next major release of Reporting Services, we will likely remove
support for this old HTML standard from the product. Do any of you use the
HTML 3.2 renderer today? If so, how and why? If you will be impacted by
this decision, I want to hear from you. Please email me if you have any feedback. You can get my email address from my profile page, but please remove the "online" part before sending.
Thanks,
Chris
