Network Managers, 10 common mistakes should take note
8 07 2009Came across this article, which is quite interesting and thinking to blog about it. The articles talks about the 10 mistakes done by most of the company that likely to expose your organization to security vulnerabilities. You might find it sounds stupid and unlikely you will do that. But, the more you take it easy, there more you are likely to fall into one of the mistakes. You might want to incorporate these mistakes into your network administration checklist:
1. Not changing the default passwords on all network devices
2. Sharing a password across multiple network devices
3. Failing to find SQL coding errors.
4. Misconfiguring your access control lists
5. Allowing nonsecure remote access and management software
6. Failing to test noncritical applications for basic vulnerabilities
7. Not adequately protecting your servers from malware.
8. Failing to configure your routers to prohibit unwanted outbound traffic.
9. Not knowing where credit card or other critical customer data is stored.
10. Not following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.

Error when open Excel Doc in TFS
2 04 2009For those who are getting error when open Excel documents stored on the TFS.
“TF84037: There was a problem initializing the Microsoft Excel Team Foundation Addin. Re-installing the Team Foundation Client may be required.”
The reason is because the Office .Net programmability support is not installed. You need to modify your installed version of Office and install this option.
1. In Add/Remove programs, locate your Office application and select it.
2. Click on the ‘Change’ button
3. Select ‘Add or Remove features’ and click ‘next’
4. Select ‘Choose advanced customization of applications’ and click ‘next’
5. In the tree view, expand ‘Microsoft Office Excel’ and make sure the .NET Programmability Support option is set to ‘run from my computer’.
6. Click ‘update’

TeamBuild for .NET 1.1 Applications?
26 03 2009For those using Team Foundation Server 2005 or 2008, you might still have .NET 1.1 applications that need to be maintained in your organization. The good thing is you can still use MSSCCI provider for TFS 2005 or MSSCCI provider for TFS 2008 installed on your Visual Studio 2003 machines and check in your .NET 1.1 applications to the TFS. At least, you have the TFS as a single repository for all the source code.
How about the TeamBuild in TFS, can that apply to .NET 1.1 applications? If you are using the TeamBuild to build your source code in TFS, you might be wondering, wouldn’t it be good if I can use the TeamBuild to build my .NET 1.1 applications? However, the answer is “NO”!! Team Build doesn’t support .NET 1.1 applications by default.
There are few options you can do:
1. Update your project to Visual Studio 2005 and above projects. The MSBuild Extras – Toolkit for .NET 1.1 (MSBee) allows .NET 1.1 builds but requires that your projects and solutions be upgraded to Visual Studio 2005.
2. If you cannot upgrade the .NET 1.1 applications to Visual Studio
2005 projects and solutions, you can use a custom post-build step to compile the .NET 1.1 applications.
See Nagaraju’s blog entry at http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/26/485368.aspx give you a heads up on how to enable TeamBuild for .NET 1.1 applications.
