• Visual Studio Express Editions Petition... :)

  Hi! Last night, I installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit (the one that accompanies SQL2005 SP1).

The thing is, I already have VB 2005 Express, VC# 2005 Express, VWD 2005 Express... all of them with their own IDEs installed on it's own folde ...Show All

• SQL Server Point #2

  Information for configuring Service Broker when you have multiple initiators seems to be thin on the ground. The examples are all point-to-point and seem to require separate logins for each initiator and corresponding exchange of certificates using a multi-pass installation. E.g. Rushi's ServiceListing API. We have an application with several hundred workstations which need to send transaction data to department servers and then on to corporate ...Show All

  TFS is not operating as I would have expected with regards to authenticating against a trusted domain. As best as I can tell from the User Education site, our configuration should be supported, yet I'm in a situation where the user accounts from the trusted domain cannot authenticate to TFS, and TFS group management will not allow me to add users or groups from the trusted domain either from the UI or using TFSSecurity.exe.
