RE: Federation?

2011-12-22 Thread Brian Desmond
More of an application question and what federation tooling you'll use. ADFS 
from Microsoft is free and reasonably straight forward to setup. The work is in 
each application integration. Some are easy, some aren't.

Thanks,

IIS 6 redirects

2011-12-22 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I have a website bound to port 81  443 with some redirects.

One vdir has a single redirect, another has two, then there is 4th I am unsure 
about.

Is there a programmatic way to enumerate the redirects in a clear way, and can 
I just drop a redirect by clearing out the associated start and end tags for 
the redirect?

I assume unless enabling direct metabase edits I will have to restart iis?

Thanks guys,
jlc

Re: IIS 4.0 and .docx MIME types

2011-12-22 Thread Jeff Bunting
Sounds like IIS is successfully serving the file if Word is complaining
about the format.  Could the document be from a different (prob. older)
version of word?  Rather than opening, can you save the file locally and
try extension as .doc and see if Word will open.

 This is an intranet site that I don't manage - not sure what you mean

  HEAD is one of the HTTP commands (methods).  It gets headers without

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.4

  By examining the HTTP headers, we can get an idea of what the server is
doing/thinking.

  From a Linux shell:

  Stuff I sent (typed) is in bold green.^] represents CTRL+].  One
has to type the blank line after the Host: header to signify the end of
the client request to the server.

  I'm using Linux here because the Telnet client works better than
Microsoft's.  You can use the one that comes with Windows, but it doesn't
handle raw TCP connections well.  In particular, it doesn't echo what you
type, so you have to type blind.  You could also use any other terminal
client that supports raw TCP connections.  PuTTY does.

w32tm.exe Help Understanding

2011-12-22 Thread Bonner, John
Hello and Merry Christmas,

 

I am feeling pretty dumb here and would like to wrap up one of my
projects before the holiday.

 

Currently I am trying to do some calculations using w32tm.exe to
validate my math...and my math appears to be wrong.

For example I Google how many nanoseconds in a day. From multiple
sources I get 86,400,000,000,000. Fine then w32tm.exe should match
saying 1 daybut it doesn't  It says 100 days

 

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 864000

100 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

 

A day is a day regardless so I can't see that time zone would matter for
this simple calculation??

 

So let's say Google is wrong and I use 864,000,000,000 which does show
as one day. 

 

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 8640

1 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

 

Fine w32tm.exe has an epoch of 1-1-1601. I want the number of
nanoseconds till 1-1-1901. That would be

 

300 (1901-1601)

365 (days in a year)

300 * 365 = 109,500 days

 

109500 days * 8640 (nanoseconds in a day) =
94,608,000,000,000,000

 

Close but no dice.

 

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 94608

109500 00:00:00.000 - 10/20/1900 5:00:00 PM

 

So I am pretty confused and any clarification would be greatly
appreciated.

JB

300 (1901-1601)

365 (days in a year)

300 * 365 = 109,500 days

 

109500 days * 8640 (nanoseconds in a day) =
94,608,000,000,000,000

 

Close but no dice.

 

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 94608

109500 00:00:00.000 - 10/20/1900 5:00:00 PM

 

So I am pretty confused and any clarification would be greatly
appreciated.

JB

RE: w32tm.exe Help Understanding--Update

2011-12-22 Thread Michael B. Smith
A year contains (more-or-less, but more accurately than what you've specified) 
365.25 days (a leap-year happens each four years, but not ALWAYS every four 
years).

300 * 365.25 = 109,575

109,575 * (24 * 60 * 60 * 10,000,000) = 94,672,800,000,000,000

C:\ W32tm /ntte 946728000
109575 00:00:00.000 - 1/3/1901 7:00:00 PM

Using PowerShell to perform these types of date calculations is a LOT easier 
than attempting to do it manually, as well as less prone to error (it knows all 
of the proper adjustments to make).

OK I figured out the first one. It is not the number of naonoseconds. It is 100 
nanosecond intervals. So that makes sense as for the 100 days when it should be 
one day.
Still working on the second one.


Hello and Merry Christmas,

I am feeling pretty dumb here and would like to wrap up one of my projects 
before the holiday.

Currently I am trying to do some calculations using w32tm.exe to validate my 
math...and my math appears to be wrong.
For example I Google how many nanoseconds in a day. From multiple sources I get 
86,400,000,000,000. Fine then w32tm.exe should match saying 1 daybut it 
doesn't  It says 100 days

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 864000
100 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

A day is a day regardless so I can't see that time zone would matter for this 
simple calculation??

So let's say Google is wrong and I use 864,000,000,000 which does show as one 
day.

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 8640
1 00:00:00.000 - 4/10/1601 5:00:00 PM

Fine w32tm.exe has an epoch of 1-1-1601. I want the number of nanoseconds till 
1-1-1901. That would be

300 (1901-1601)
365 (days in a year)
300 * 365 = 109,500 days

109500 days * 8640 (nanoseconds in a day) = 94,608,000,000,000,000

Close but no dice.

C:\Users\jbonnerw32tm.exe /ntte 94608
109500 00:00:00.000 - 10/20/1900 5:00:00 PM

And for the second one I need to use 365.242199 days in a year. Over 300 years 
that fraction adds up.

DOH!

Well have a blessed Christmas and thanks for all your help during the year.

  Except when the year is divisible by 100.

  Except when the year is divisible by 400.  Then it's a leap year again.

  And don't even ask about September 1752.
