Commentary
Microsoft Unveils Visual Studio 2010, .NET Framework
4.0
By Paul Thurrott, thurrott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I had expected Microsoft to hold off on any
announcements about its next-generation developer technologies until next
month, when the company will hold its Professional Developers Conference (PDC)
2008 in Los Angeles. But on Monday, Microsoft announced branding and other
information about its next-generation developer suite and development
framework.
Dubbed Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0
respectively, these tools will arrive sometime between late 2009 and mid-2010,
which is not coincidentally the same schedule for Windows 7, Microsoft's next
major platform release. As with previous versions of the tools, one of the
primary focuses this time around will be collaboration.

Curt Spanburgh's informative Web exclusive article
"Don't Shoot the Application"
windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/100131/dont-shoot-the-application.html
generated some interesting comments from readers this week:
From chamezzzz: "Hello Curt, as usual a well written
article but it has left me confused. Why did the application work for so long
and then stop working on TCP only? Are you sure it was not just the SQL
services that needed the re-start?
Sorry to throw "a spanner in the works"
From AnneG_editor: "James, thanks for your comments!
Here's Curt's response: "It seems that all was working while AD was doing well,
but if the SPN in the Sql server machine account in Active Directory cannot be
read by the client machines then they attempt to call with NBT packets or RPCs.
The services were restarted several times but to no avail. If Named/Pipes are
blocked to remote machines then the authentication fails. The fact that opening
this option allowed the users to continue to work indicated a Network problem
and not a SQL problem."
From netmarcos,netmarcos: "Well researched and clearly
written. Great advice and a vluable reminder that many of our apps rely on a
lot more than the code base of the desktop client to get the job done."

Active Directory Management a Snap
At the heart of the Windows network is Active

However, the built-in AD tools lack enterprise-class management capabilities
that give administrators the ability to effectively secure, delegate, audit,
report, and recover the ever-changing state of their AD infrastructure. Get

off.
