• Architecture how to install several programs in farm

  I am beginning in a project which is a total disaster. The company has done a lot of things that I don't like so much, but I am an analyst-programmer, so I have not voice for changing anything. One issue is that all the modules of the different programs are in all the machines of the farm (>100 servers). So the load is balanced between all of them. I think that this works but isn't a good policy: 1) Perhaps if a program fails It could make all the servers to fall down because it is in all of them. 2) The loads aren't understood, because it is difficult to view which projects are the heavy. 3) Having >100 IISs makes AS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding web sites that contains vdirs

Under the web site I've created a virtual directory called App_Themes (without a pool - pressed the "remove" button in the properties) and directed it to an infrastructure folder we have on the servers (all the web sites uses the same app_themes). 3.

• Windows Search Technologies Items indexed so far = negative number

  I have WDS build 2.6.5.5401. It has been installed (this time) for over 3 weeks. Everything seems to work fine, that is, I can find files and documents and emails. The only odd things is that when I click on "index status", it always shows a negative number. Like right now, its at -189,438. Last week it was -1,292,702, It also will show something like "323" left to scan, then get down to 1, then go back to some other number like 411, then back down to 1, then...well you get the idea.
