I implenmented the Audio Input channel, but when I start recording, it alwasy say:"An audio recoding can not be found". From the Windows 7 RDP client, seems there is a switch to enable the Audio Input, just like enable the Audio Output, but I can not find it in [MS-RDPBCGR] or other realated documents. Would you please like to tell me how can I enable it?

Need to have Local Service Execute Binary on Remote Share

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:14:20 Z

I'm trying to setup/configure a remote node in such a way that I can install a service on the local node and have its binaries located on a remote share. The remote share would actually be a binary host to several nodes. This way I can centralize my files to enable easier patching plus the advantages of having a reduced footprint. I envision eventually having binaries, logs and configuration files as these shared files.

Is there a way to do this? My preliminary investigation into this reveals what is probably a permissions issue with having a service attempting to start on one machine with its binaries on another. I've tried with NFS also and apparently the Microsoft NFS enforces file locking, which, of course, forces another error.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

How to replace a section in a word template with multiple fields C#

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:20:43 Z

Hi

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I couldn't find the right place, feel free to move it to another place if this isn't the right one.

I'm creating a C# application that fills the MergeFields defined on a MS Word document with data from an external Data Source.

I'm using the OpenXml SDK and everything works fine when replacing single fields.

What I want to do is, to have a section with several MergeFields defined and being able to copy such section several times according to the input data.

e.g.
I can have in the document a paragraph containing a product information with several MergeFields, but in the data I have information for several products, I want to generate as many paragraphs in the output document as products are in the input data.

Product: [[product-name]], amount: [[product-amount]], price: [[product-price]]

Is there something like a "logical section" in a Word document to wrap the paragraph? if not, what would be your advice to do this?

Any help will be very appreciated, thanks!

DHCP Name Reservations being renamed

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:40:32 Z

by default our printers get assigned a naming convention that start with NPI then followed with a series of numbers and letters. [NPI00E***]

Currently I'm making DHCP reservations for printers on the network, and using my networks naming proper naming convention for the reservations. Is it possible that if i dont change the name on the client end it will update the name reservation that i have given it to its default name?

overall issue::
printer name reservations on the DHCP server are being automatically renamed to the default printer client name when ever we have a power outage that affect our routers and or switches. I cant figure out who or what is setting these reservation names back to a different name than the one given. I didnt think a reservation name could be changed or updated by the client. Thanks for clearing this up for me in advanced.

Exchange WebDAV: How to detect moved items?

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:11:51 Z

Hey,

So we are doing a synchronized catalog of a user's exchange store using webdav. One item which I'm having trouble figuring out is how do you distinguish when an item is moved versus just "new". It seems on the 2003 exchange server we are testing against, that when you use the UI to move an item, all of the properties of the item change (dav:id, uid, permanent url, etc.). How do you then tell that this item has moved? The best solution I can come up with is to compare the new state of the exchange server against the old to see if there is an addition that matches an item that is no longer in existence, which is quite expensive. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks much!

WebDav Contacts: How to handle IMCEAEX email addresses...

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:24:17 Z

Hi!

So, I'm accessing an exchange 2007 server over webdav and downloading a user's contacts. We're trying to translate these into a helpful UI so that we can show a user their contacts in a more friendly fashion. I have recently run into a most unfortunate form of email address which I am uncertain how to translate into something more friendly, for example:

IMCEAEX-_o=IEX3_ou=Exchange+20Administrative+20Group+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_cn=Recipients_cn=annie+5FKihaSoft@exch003intermedia.net

This appears to be an x.400 form of email address, but I'm boggled how to turn it into a more common email address to the user. In this case, looking at this contact through outlook, I find that it displays "annie@kiha.com", which is the more friendly version of her email address. However, nowhere in this email adress is there mention of the domain name "kiha.com", instead I see our routing email server, exch003intermedia.net. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

RTF end of header segment?

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:54:43 Z

Ok, I'm trying to append rtf text inside rtf documents, the appended text needs to appear at the beginning of the document.

So I've read the Header part of the specification which makes sense I get it!, my problem is that the RTF documents that I'll be processing do not have the same header. So the Header is appearing in different sizes with different information in it. How could I know where is the end of the RTF header so that I can Append the text after that file position.

Enterprise Library License

Wed, 06 May 2009 15:12:39 Z

In the Enterprise Library License page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480459.aspx) or EULA I find the following clause.

(F) Platform Limitation - The licenses granted in sections 2(A) & 2(B) extend only to the software or derivative works that you create that run on a Microsoft Windows operating system product.

This implies that I may not develop this under MONO and run it under Linux. This is really a shame since I'm working on a cross platform product and will have to look for other alternatives to use for cross-platform development. Any chance that clause can be removed?

Several inconsistency issues in Xaml Object Mapping Specification

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 12:09:23 Z

Hi,
Subject: Xaml Object Mapping Specification 2006.

I'm currently building an implementation for the Xaml language, and I've found several contradictions in the specification.

[Minor] sec. 5.3.13, pg. 50: The value of property [name] probably must be "lang".

[Critical] sec. 6.6.2, pg. 64, line 3: According to the specification of Object Node Information Item (sec. 4.2) the property [member nodes] cannot accept Text Node Information Item as a direct value, but set of Member Node Information Item only.

[Critical] sec. 6.6.2, pg. 65, line 3: The rule "Member Node Creation from an XML:element" (sec. 6.6.5) defined to accept 3 argument as input, but on pg. 65 it invoked passing one argument only.

[Critical] sec. 6.6.2, pg. 67, line 16: The rule “Member Node Creation from Content” (sec. 6.6.6) is defined to receive 5 arguments as input, but on pg. 67 it invoked passing only 4 arguments.

I'd like if it possible to contact one of the authors of this specification for clarifications on these issues.

Thanks.
Daniel Katz.

Microsoft DHCP Server

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 11:33:44 Z

Hi all!
There is a problem with how MS DHCP server handles option 55 specified by client in offer/request packets. One of my dhcp clients sends discover/offer with a number of required options in value of option 55 (see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1533.html, 9.6. Parameter Request List). DHCP server responds with exactly requested option but without some witch were not requested. That client actually wanted to receive some more together with requested ones (and rfc say that option 55 do not set limit on what should be returned but specify order of option which should be used in response). So I'm looking for any way to override that behavour and make dhcp server respond with some more options together with specified ones, actually a way to override that list specified by client. So if there are any ideas on how to achive that, please give a clue...

Hi,
I am wrighting a Silverlight application for a professional placement firm and they would like to be able to add a resume to the data for a person and be able to search that resume. I am currently designing the database in SQL Server 2008 and was wondering the best way to store the resume. Should I just put it into a VarChar(Max) column or could I store a MS Word or XPS document in SQL Server? What are the best practrices for this and can you point me to documentation that would help with designing and implementing such a task?

Technical documentation links don’t resolve in Adobe Reader 9

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:39:35 Z

This is a change introduced by Adobe, which has altered the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. In order to access links, users need to change their settings so that the document is not in view mode. In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences. In the Categories list, click Documents. Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

Additional details on changing the setting can be located via the Adobe help site: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3E0E8467-B787-4020-A1D3-6BC762A42DF2.w.html

Hotlink Download Problem

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:28:56 Z

Hello,

I am having a problem with downloading documents using a ‘Hot Link’. A ‘Hot Link’ being a URL either in a “Word” or “Outlook” document using IE version 6, 7 and 8.

A little background. I am a mainframe programmer, developing WEB sites for the company I work at. I am using an IBM product named CICS. I have developed a ‘Document Warehouse’ using CICS and DB2. Using HTML, I can click on a URL and download a document (anything doc, txt, ppt, jpeg, gif,,,) But If I sent a URL in an email or place a URL in a word document, when you click on the URL, I receive a window say that “Internet Explorer can not download &filename from &my website” or “Unable to open http://&mywebsite/: Cannot open the specified file. I have verified the file is transmitted. Using ‘Fiddler 2” (and others) I can see the header and Fiddler will show me the GIF or JPEG. Everything looks, good. I have read the ‘Office Auto Discovery” documents. I receive two request for the document, one on the established connection and another on a new connection. Both requests receive the same response and I reply 200 (okay) to the OPTIONS request, with content-length=0.

Now with all that said. If I use Firefox, Netscape, Chrome, whatever, I do not have a problem! Can you help me?

Microsoft has created a new forums platform (MSDN | TechNet | Expression | Microsoft) with increased performance, stability, and an improved user experience. On Thursday (6/5) this forum will be moving to the new platform.

On the day the forum moves to the new platform, a post will be made letting you know the process has been started, and the forum will be locked to new posts. Once the process is complete, a final post to the forum will be made letting you know the forum has moved.

1. All posts in the forum will be preserved

2. Any points you’ve received for replies will move with you (on a per forum basis)

3. Any bookmarks to this forum or threads within this forum will redirect to their new location

4. Your “My Threads” will be preserved on the new platform

The only thing you’ll need to do after migration is set Windows Live Alerts for any threads you were tracking.

If you have feedback, let us know in the suggestions forum or contact me directly at Andrew.Brenner at Microsoft.com

Thanks,

password in .rdp file

Wed, 21 May 2008 14:20:16 Z

Hey guys,

I'm trying to have a autologon to a remote machine with Remote Desktop on Windows CE 5.00. I read on this link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms861803.aspx that Windows CE can read the password from the .rdp file but does not have the ACLs to securely write passwords. So I was wondering how I can encrypt my password so the Remote Desktop won't ask me for my password when I try to connect to the remote machine.

I also read on this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms861732.aspx, that "By making the appropriate changes in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Rdp\Oak\Uit\cetsc, an OS developer can change this default behavior so that the password is saved to the device" I'm wondering what sort of changes are we talking about here, I have no Idea what I should make...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

I've been looking for the RDP protocol in the open specs, but haven't been able to find it. Is it included? Where?
