RE: 2008 64bit print server with 32bit clients

2009-09-17 Thread James Hill
You can use a 32bit server or client to get the driver and then push that to the 64bit machine. It's a pain but it usually works. More emphasis on this issue will come from 2008 R2 as more businesses install it and find that they have to get 32bit drivers onto it. -Original Message-

HI, At this point I'm thinking mutual ssl is not possible in IIS7 with self signed cert. Mutual auth with self-signed certs should work fine with IIS7. The problem has nothing to do with IIS7, and just with your certificates I think. All the SSL stuff is done by the Windows Schannel

I have to agree with Ben here. If it were easy to do, it would have been done already. I suspect the improved bus speeds will help devices that aren't current spinning disks (maybe flash based drives), or where we are able to present an array of disks at the end of the bus (e.g. external

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish here. You talk about this like there's one cert for clients to auth with. This is generally a solution where every single user has their own cert and they're usually stored on something like a smartcard. There's no need to buy them
