• Architecture MIIS export to SQL Server 2000

  I am trying to manage user information between Active Directory and SQL Server 2000, both on the same computer, using MIIS. I have successfully imported (staged and sync'd) information between Active Directory and MIIS, and between SQL Server 2000 and MIIS. I verified that all imported user information is existent in the MIIS metaverse. The issue I am having is when I try to import new users from the MIIS metaverse to my SQL Server 2000 database. I believe that I have mapped attributes for export correctly, and have set up my SQL connection and user correctly. I can successfully log into SQL Query Analyzer with that same user and perfo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Need recommendation on Office/VBA/.NET/C# solution

  We want to move logic currently in Word XP VBA to C# component(s). What the VBA code basically does is calling Web Services that are implemented in Java, and display the returned data in Word documents. Our requirements are: improved performance easiness to install the components on end-user's PC's ability to be shared the components across all the products in the Office suite After doing some reading, there seem to be 2 solutions to me: Register the C# components as plain-vanilla COM objects using COM interop and call them from VBA Register the C# components as COM automation addins. However, this thing called "Shimming" that ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is sort so slow?

  I set up a sample sort data flow that is attempting to sort 11M records totalling about 3GB. It ran for four hours and then I killed it. How can it be so terrible Am I missing some hidden tuning parameter DIdi you try to put an index on the sort column (the best would be a clustered index though this one is physically order by design), that should be helpful.

• Software Development for Windows Vista LoadLibrary (regsvr32) fails without Visual Studio 2005

  I've just upgraded from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 2005. I've got the latest DirectShow stuff (in the platform SDK) and am using it. Everything builds and runs fine on my development machine (which has Visual Studio 2005 installed) but when I try: "regsvr32 "myfilter.ax" on a different machine (without Visual Studio 2005, both machines are WinXP Pro and up to date AFAIK), I get the error: LoadLibrary ("myfilter.ax") failed - This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. This happens even when I use, say, the "dump" example fil ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to create linked server on 64 bit SQL 2005

  We have just started migrating our SQL Database to a new 64 bit server. The problem is that we must import data from text files (some are fixed width other CSV) and there is no Jet 4.0 OLEDB provider installed on the machine.
