Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Report Builder 3.0

Old news can be good news.
Last year i presented this free application to my colleagues. Now it is used frequently by the ones that are building reports.

Prerequisite is MS SQL server 2008 R2, but that is basically "just" to make use of the nice controls that are out of the box on this edition.

Report builder 3.0 is intuitive, do not requires the user to be an extreme report  and query master. Drop and drag is the key word.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

I want to share my enthusiasm for Microsoft Dynamics CRM the 2011th.

Long awaited and ongoing, there have been shown all or parts of the application. Now I start the first project with this new delicious version.
There are several blog posts with different descriptions and highlights depending on the needs and requirements.

What I have found the benefits for my project so far:

  • VIEWS FOR QUEUES :-) add columns, filter.... wauwwww.....
  • Several forms for entities: Finally. First step in 4.0 was a fit / gap to identify functionality, fields and forms to be added. Forms were so custom forms (ISV forms)
  • Security model: Man, being able to choose who can see what fields and what their rights are in the field. Finally.
  • Teams: The use of teams in the 4.0 was fine. Now it is an even more integral and users can be grouped across business units.
  • Naming conventions: It's probably a small and a bit geeky thing, but in the big picture so as to align withthose terms being worked on in the surrounding technologies for CRM. That is along sql, C # and JavaScript. It is smart, so we should not chicken around for interpreters.

So it is delicious .... And works immediately stable. Almost scary stable.

But i think we can live with that!

Cisco VPN client install - Error 27850: unable to manage network component

A while ago i was trying to install Cisco VPN Client on my win7 64-bit laptop. Had errors and after being struggeling with for a couple of days i gave up, I had a tip from one of my fellow colleegues recommending SHREWSOFT. That woked like a charm.
Now i needed this cisco client. Errors were the same:
Error 27850: unable to manage network component. Operating system corruption may be preventing installation.

resolution was an easy fix in registry for controlset.

The maximum number of network  filter drivers in Windows 7 is 14.

By default, it is set to 8.

I increased it to 8 in the the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters

Then i did an update of dne (ftp://files.citrix.com/dneupdate64.msi) and installed the cisco client successfully.

Happy new year!
