• Jassim Rahma 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.

• clint 2 How to relate specific program versions to released updates

  Our application calls MS Word when needed. We are currently having a problem on certain PCs that have a specific MS Word version number. By this I mean, Help / About shows "Word 2003 (11.8026.8036) SP2". Some PCs have a different number in the parenthesis although they all say Word 2003 SP2.

  Does anyone know how I might go about inserting meta tags such as "description" and "keywords" into my master pages and page layouts in a MOSS 2007 external facing site Ideally, when an author or editor is editing a page, I want field controls for the meta description and keyword tags, so the author can fill those in and save those with the page content.

• nativecpp Error when opening designer view in VS2005

  I'm having a hard time trying to create a custom workflow for Sharepoint Server 2007 using Visual Studio 2005. I've installed the Sharepoint Server SDK as well as Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation. When I create a new Sharepoint Sequential Workflow project, first problem I get is that the references to the Sharepoint DLL are not ok (exclamation marks in reference branch). So I copy those DLL files from my sharepoint server (I'm developping on a separate xp station) to my station and redo the references to the project. Then I'm able to build the project without problem. However, when I try to open the Designer view, I get the following error : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowAc ...Show All

• boston_sql92 Security Trimming - missing configuration?

  I have a new out of the box install of MOSS07 up and used it to crawl some legacy SP 2003 sites with Enterprise Search. The problem we're having is security trimming doesn't seem to be kicking in on the results - users are able to get links in the results page to items they don't have security access to (SP still prompts for credentials when the link to that resource is clicked). I have one domain security account as both application identity and primary crawl ID - this ID was given permission to the legacy SP content. The content is indexed but like I said everyone can see it regardless of rights to that resource. I'm having trouble finding articles on troubleshooting/configuring security trimming for MOSS07 - apparently it should w ...Show All
