I am presently developing a large, complex SharePoint application whose deployment consists of about 10 SharePoint Solutions. Since functionality is still under development, I am very frequently rebuilding WSPs and upgrading them.
My standard way of doing this was via the command shell:
stsadm -o upgradesolution -name [solution name] -filename [solution path] -immediate -allowgacdeployment
Less frequently I was adding Solutions to the Solution store (using stsadm -o addsolution) an

July 11, 2008 at 9:06 AMThe other day I received an email from a coworker which was protected by Information Rights Management and I realized I could not open it using my Windows Mobile device. We are running Rights Management Server internally and with my laptop on Vista, the IRM components are built-in and all integrated seamlessly. The first time I had to open an IRM-protected message or document at work I was prompted to add and configure an account in Outlook in order to access the protected content. Since then

February 26, 2008 at 2:09 PMI've been running a release candidate version (build 6001) of Vista Service Pack 1 for a few weeks now and by far the biggest advantages have been 'performance' related. What's funny is there were a slew of performance-related pre-SP1 hotfixes released for Vista in the past year, none of which had resolved any of my specific issues. The 'performance' bump I'm seeing is more perceived, as Microsoft has finally fixed some glitches which were causing Vista to hang-out and wait for something to mo

Since upgrading from Windows XP to Vista Business at the start of this year I have learned to live with a few behavioral annoyances by either adapting the way I previously performed a specific task or digging up a workaround/fix. Alas, there are still two specific issues that continue to drive me up a wall, day after day. The first of which was documented by Mark Russinovich in his blog entry entitled The Case of the Delayed Windows Vista File Open Dialogs and has me eagerly awaiting the

If you are using the "Windows Aero" color scheme in Vista, which is the default color scheme, Windows seems to have problems rendering the Visual Studio UI.
I've noticed this problem when you run the solution and come back to Visual Studio after closing the solution. Vista can't paint the portions of the screen occupied by the Visual Studio windows when the solution was being executed(like Command Window, Watch Window etc.). When you scroll up/down it'll just paint the screen whit

May 8, 2007 at 12:59 AMIf you are using Vista, or the new Vista Remote Desktop Client on an XP machine you have run into the prompt warning you about the security of the server you are attempting to connect to. Well, I've finally found a solution.
Create a new DWORD registry key named "AuthenticationLevelOverride" without the quotes, in the registry path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client] and set the value to one of 3 options, 0, 1, or 2. Refer to the KB http://support.micros

I ran into a case recently where I had to hack together a set of drivers for my touchpad on my D820 to get it such that I could set options in the mouse control panel. This seems trivial until you realize I am now running the 64 bit version of Vista and that Dell doesn't have such a driver released. I downloaded the 64 bit version that Dell does have from their support site, and extracted it and installed it. All seems fine, but then, for some reason I was getting prompted on each and every

I ran into a situation today where a remote employee needed to join his Vista laptop to the domain and then log in with is domain credentials. In the past on XP this took a good VPN software and effort on the part of both the information worker and the off-site user. With Vista and the great support for fast user switching I was able to help the user and get him logged on to the domain with a less than ideal VPN software.
The VPN software in question does not support host level VPN tunnelin
