Hi, First post Hopefully this is the right forum but I have no means of testing this. When installing IIS on SBS 2008 does the installation require the CD to install correctly? I know with Server 2003 you require the CD but for each version of SBS, Data Center, etc of 2008 is the cd required? Thanks

Hello All, I need to run SQL Server Workgroup/Standard 2005/2008 for a group of about 10 to 15 people. That is ALL the server needs to do. I looked at SBS 2008 and even it seems a bit overkill with all of the features it has. Is there a better small server Windows OS choice? Thanks, Craig

Here is the article I read on the topic: IIS 6.0 Tuning for Performance I havent used this in practice, but this paragraph contains the suggested solution: Set minFreeThreads to 88 * # of CPUs . This setting is used by the worker process to queue all the incoming requests if the number of available threads in the thread pool falls below the value for this setting. This setting effectively limits the number of requests that can run concurrently to maxWorkerThreads - minFreeThreads . Set minFreeThreads to 88 * # of CPUs. This limits the number of concurrent requests to 12 (assuming maxWorkerThreads is 100). Can anyone please tell me what I need to set these to …

Hello, I have created a simple scheduled task to run an executable. I can manualy start this executable, but have to accept it through UAC. However, when run through the Task Scheduler (either manually or by a trigger), there appears to be something wrong. The executable does either not start or doesn't start with the appropriate rights. I've tried running as Administrator and as SYSTEM as well as with or without Highest privileges. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Hello, I installed windows server 2008 exclusively to develop a website on localhost. I have an internet connection (PPPoE), that works just fine, but i don't want to use it when I'm developing my website (it keeps my focus on the project rather then surfing the internet). If i do not connect to a network every time i start firefox it asks for a connection to a network and if I click cancel it pops up again. If I put firefox offline I can't navigate not even in localhost. Setting up a fake connection and let it connect in the background doesn't work either, after a few tries it pops up a diolog that there is a problem with my network connections. It may…
