Debugging an VSTO and InfoPath 2003 Solution from .Net 1.1

To get the InfoPath to default back to .NET 1.1, you need to update or create a file named INFOPATH.EXE.CONFIG, add it to the same directory as your infopath.exe and add the following:

<?xml version ="1.0" >

<configuration>

<startup>

<requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>

</startup>

</configuration>

Apparently this goes for any old .NET applications.

Please copy the created file “infopath.exe.config” to your Office11 Folder

(eg: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11)

This will force InfoPath.exe to be run in the context of .Net 1.1 and not .Net 2.0

"The page cannot be displayed" in MOSS 2007

After the successful migration of my current SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007, some of my users are facing the "The page cannot be displayed" in SharePoint 2007 migrated site. After some analysis I found out the solution which solved my problem.

Solution: If the domain is not listed in the Shared Service Provider (SSP) this error may occur for the user under that domain. Shared Service Administration select the share services for your server then User Profile and Properties then Configure Profile Import in Source section click the view import connections. You will see a list of the connection your SSP is using. Try adding the other domains as separate connections rather than adding the forest this way you have more control and do not replace your current settings.
Else if your DHCP assign a public DNS server, change DHCP to assign only to your DNS server and not the commonly used public DNS server

Virtualization and Consolidation with Hyper-V

Hyper-V, a key feature of Windows Server 2008, has now released to manufacturing (RTM) and is available for deployment into production environments.

Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine. With Hyper-V, you can also efficiently run multiple different operating systems—Windows, Linux, and others—in parallel, on a single server, and fully leverage the power of x64 computing.
