• Dj4Killer Should Active Directory be a Domain Controller or in a different domain ?

  MCSF uses Active Directory to store user details. 1. But does it need to be in a different domain or a domain controller 2. Can I just install AD and point MCSF to store users there Regards, Sachin If you install AD, that will become a DC right :). Now it takes me to your first question, which I suggest you have different box for AD, and different box for CSF components, but they both should be in the same domain. Can you use an existing domain that you built absolutely yes, as along as you are domain admin. HTH Tilak I think you are talking about ADAM. That doesn't work with CSF.

• sawer Thin client vs smart client

  We are moving from a VB6 to a .net world. We are about to finish our business components and now its time to start thinking about the UI. Well, there it comes the doubt: should we choose a smart client path or a thin client one We develop backoffice financial apps; they are used in several ways (users that operate it to process information, board of directors that access it just to analyse information, end customers that access it to get information on balance account etc). The chance to have someone using a non windows OS (accessing the system as client) is remote, but exists. If we choose a webbrowser client, then we would have to buy some good components (specially grid component and menus) that could "replicate" desktop exper ...Show All

• crazyabtdotnet Data Access Architecture

  I am reviewing my current project and find that the data access is not so desirable. The main problem maybe root from the architecture of my data access. I would like to get more input. In my existing application, I have create one data access object for each table. Most of them are implemented by Type DataSet while some are custom objects (The reason is lack of inheritance of Type DataSet). For example, I have created a Typed DataSet Order to access my order header and order detail. I have also created a product class and a SalesProduct class (inherit from Product). The above objects are all treated as my DAL and contains CRUD mainly. (Certainly, I found some business logic messed into them already.) The problem came when I reviewing the ...Show All

• Sharath paleri Transaction across Applications

  HI, We have a Web application that consists of a Sharepoint web site with ASP.NET pages as web parts. In the admin module of the application, we have a provision to add a user. On adding a user through the application, the user is added in 3 places, namely in Active Directory (AD), SQL Server database and in Sharepoint database. All this is a part of ASP.NET code with no transaction happening through out the user creation. Now is there any way to impose a transaction in this process That is, until all three AD, Sharepoint and SQL Server databases are up and running and the creation of user happens with no errors, the new user must not be committed in all three databases. This is very critical as it causes inconsistency if the u ...Show All

  Hi, When first time to open WSS site, it always takes long time to open, Why Any way could improve this issue and how Thanks for any advice! Angi Henry, Thanks so much!
