I've recently migrated a Microsoft SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services database across to a new Windows 2008 R2 server. There were a number of issues which required I enable 32bit applications in IIS. This allowed my asp.net applications to function correctly.

But on working on SQL Reporting Services I kept recieving the following error when creating a new report server virtual directory:


The details were:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BE)
   at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
   at System.Management.ManagementObject.InvokeMethod(String methodName, ManagementBaseObject inParameters, InvokeMethodOptions options)
   at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.CreateVirtualDirectory(String virtualDirectory, String path)
 Turns out the solution to this was quite simple. Enable 32bit applications by running the following script:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 “true”
 Finally create an IIS application, set the application pool to Enable32BitApplications = false:




Now you can change the default website to your new website (with 32bit support set to false). It's just a pain because the error is so abiguous.

Hope this helps!

NeuroPower Framework to Effective Leadership

By -

This blog is to provide an introduction to the NeuroPower framework and reduces a highly technical well referenced material into simple, yet real world examples. This framework will assist project managers in building effective teams that work in a harmonious network maintaining respect for each other. Introduction: Phycology is one of the oldest fields of study, there were notes on the reoccurrences of patterns within the brain since prior to Ancient Egypt. These studies linked phycology with religion but nevertheless represented patterns in behaviour and techniques for the modification of behaviour. NueroPower combines the intellect of a master of Artificial Intelligence and Phycology to produce a logical representation of behaviour patterns and leaders can use this model to predict behaviour, allowing leaders to mitigate risk and create a harmonious team. Tension and the Amygdala This was best explained to me as a story; imagine for a moment that you are a bunny ...

SharePoint PageLayout MissingMethodException and ErrorWebPart

By -

PART 1 (FIX IN PART 2): Another SharePoint boggling issue. I defined a Page Layout as illustrated below. It has two columns left and right with 80% and 20% width respectively. When deploying this page on my local system I found that creating a page resulted in an error. Entering web part maintenance mode on the pagelayout page revealed there were several ErrorWebPart components listed for my page layout? At the moment I do not have time to investigate why or how they are there. But removing these through the maintenance protal fixed the defect. If I get around to tracing the source of the issue I will post. Hopefully the latest cumulative update will prevent this sort of defect from occuring!  <%@ Page ClassName="BOQTwoColumnPageLayout" AutoEventWireup="true"  language="C#"   Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingLayoutPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=14.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce11...

Configure language settings on Sharepoint 2010

By -
To set the region and locale of your Sharepoint 2010 installation you will need to visit each site collections root website. Then for each site collection go to settings -> Site Administration -> Regional Settings. Then from the drop down select the Locale for the site and tick the check box labeled "All sub-sites inherit these Regional Settings." This will configure date formats, language, currency and other formatting issues to the appropriate regional setting. The tricky bit is the setting for the My Sites. Each my site is self-contained in its own site collection therefore it will have it's own regional setting defaulted to US Format. In order to deal with this issue you will either need to manually visit each my site after creation and do the same thing in the UI which is ok for organisations of 10-20 people. But in large organisations it is recommended you implement a feature stabler onto the site definition for SPSPERS#0, the feature can then set the...
