• Flamin Content Query problem

  Hi, I am having a problem with the Content Query web part and I'm not sure that I am able to do what I want. Using MOSS2007 in the News area I would like to group the news articles that have come in by the day that they are created and group them this way with the most current days items at the top.

• Vlad Shimov Network Load Balancing vs. Hardware Load Balancing (CISCO Arrowpoint)

    Hi Have a query regarding using the Windows 2003 Network Load Balancing Service. My ISP provides Load Balancing functionality via there CISCO (Arrowpoint) Device. We were experiencing some problems with the Arrowpoint so during testing I installed the NLB service and got all my websites working to a tee I decided that this is perhaps the best way forward anyway as I had more control over adding and removing servers to the cluster, but none the less I decided to ask my ISP's advice as to which solution was the best. Their response was... "Microsoft's implementation of NLB is not a particularly network friendly application of load balancing. It operates by spoofing the source MAC address in ARP replies. This causes all switches ...Show All

• hackbabu How to listen to a web service for a message receive.

  Is it possible to listen to a webservice (WS) when a message is received by the WS. Thanks, Sailu when you just want to debug or look at the message when it arrves at the services. you can look at mindreef . One thing you can do is implement an ISAPI filter to intercept the calls another option is to implement a gateway so that a front web-service will get called and it would dispatch the call to the intended webservice and to whatever other listener you want Arnon Consider the case where you have two independent objects that need to process the same message, but neither should know about the other's existence, because they could be independently deployed. Current WS implementations and tools do a lou ...Show All

• Arthur Greef Design Consideration for active/active clustering

  Hi, I need help on the design consideration to develop a VB application to work in a Cluster (active/active). The application would consist of an NT service that will spawn activeX exe components based on a configuration. Thank you, regards, S. Balakrishnan One main thing that you need to remember regarding Microsoft's clustering technology is that it based on a "shared nothing" concept the meaning is that in an active/active configuration you'd need to partition the work between the two active servers and have each server act as a backup for the other one. Regarding other design consideration. you should probably provide some more details e.g. what are the fail-over t ...Show All

• Lewis McCarthy Change the default theme applied to new sites

  Hi SharePoint people, I have created a new theme in MOSS and was looking for a way of changing the default theme that is applied when you create a new site so that it uses the new theme. Any help welcome. Grant. Thanks for the suggestion Jay. I am not keen to install third party features just yet, but I will keep it in the back of my mind. I had a look at changing the default theme, but it appears the default theme is not stored in the standard location, being; C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\THEMES I think site.master pages are a better option anyway so I might have a go at that. Regards, Grant. Hi Tom, Thanks for the suggestion. I know ...Show All
