Management wants people to use remote desktop applications to access testers (multi-million dollar units located in various factories throughout the world) for debug, people in the US can use the ones in Asia during not production hours, etc. to save costs (maximize tester use and minimize travel).
Management reports that people have complained they do not want to because the remote desktop connection is slow. I have asked many many people who do this if there is an issue and they generally do not report any issues, but management insists there is.
Management has therefore asked me to review the remote application software used (currently VNC and Microsoft Remote desktop) and quantify, with data, the performance of these or other options.
My initial thought was to capture screen frame rates using something like Fraps, but Fraps does not seen to catch many non game applications, and installing games on the testers is probably not going to fly.
so given the background, anyone have any thoughts as to how I might measure this in some way?
Thanks

We have remote desktop servers installed at the office for remote programers to use.
I did a lot of research on this, and they have special hardware that optimizes the remote workstation experience.
Plus you can setup a hyper visor, and run several virtual machines that serve as remote workstations, so you can load up 2 or 3 or them in the same box. With graphics, you need one hell of a GPU like the NVidia Quatro Card for fast processing.
Most slow remote sessions are from the host not being able to run fast enough, to send the remote screen data across the wire and back.
I know of a lot of companies in the middle east, in which the employees remote in from the UAE into Saudi Arabia, so they don't have to live there and work.
I just bought a Dell Solution and let my friend set it up for me, and it works fine. No complaints so far from my remote contractors.
As far as speed testing goes, I did planning first, so it wasn't really an issue.

Hi everyone, I have created a open source project for a tool I used to configure my VPS a (Linode).
Old colleague of mine has used it on his VPS (Digital Ocean) and said there were no problems.
My question is, does anyone know of another way of doing this, is this a sensible set up etc.
I made this project to save me the endless reconfiguring of my test environment after destroying it.
This tool is free and I posted here on Codeproject a request for testers, Collaboration / Beta Testing under section
"Looking for testers for automated Linux server install and config."
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou and looking forward to your comments.

Hi,
I have a .NET web application hosted in 3rd party server. When I access the URL from my local browser, I am able to do it.
However we have purchased the Go Daddy domain. Now I am trying to redirect the domain to my .NET web application hosted in 3rd party server. I contacted Go Daddy support and put the redirection URL.
But When I access that domain name in browser I am getting IIS 7 page instead of login page.
I have set the default page also. But still I am getting the same IIS 7 page. Please help

Still sounds like a godaddy issue.

Did you program the DNS Server IPAddress for the new domain name to point to your DNS server, which contains the DNS record for the new domain you purchased.
Did you write a public zone file or record on the DNS server that your domain name points to?
Did you bind the website in IIS7 to the right public / private IP address.
Are you using NAT to forward packets from public to private in your router or firewall?
Did you set an internal DNS zone record to point to the private ip address of the website if using NAT?
IIS7 without the domain name or proper binding will always load the default website.

Hello,
This may sound overly optimistic.
I'm building a website where I do expect really heavy traffic, images, and even some video.
What software bundle do you recommend for this kind of use?
-Hosting your site with Windows, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server ?
-LAMP?
-Others...?
I have little expertise in servers, so your insight is much appreciated

Most all frameworks will work, the issue really comes down to which one can you actually build it in. Which one do you know most. Then go from there.

While I assume you only tried to be helpful, please note:
- He didn't ask for a CDN-provider but for a software stack.
- Linking to commercial websites is considered spamming if the OP didn't explicitly ask for it.
To avoid being reported for spamming I would suggest you change your answer to just recommend using any CDN-provider instead of self-hosting static content.

I have installed 64 bit SVN Subversion both on server and client machine. Now, the problem is how should I access the server? I read a lot, but there are no clear cut mentioning what should be done for accessing the Repo Browser URL.
What I have done is,
1. Installed 64 bit Tortoise SVN version both in server (eg: 125.5.5.0) and client machine (eg: 125.5.5.40)
2. Created new folders in E drive of server, E:\svn\NewRepository.
3. Then, open command prompt, and run the command
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs NewRepository
This ran successfully and created some configuration files in E drive.
4. I have created manually folders like branch, trunk and tag in E:\svn\NewRepository folder.
Now, how will I access this folders from my client machine(125.5.5.40)? should i start with http:// or svn://. Please help.
Hope this is the right place,if not let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Try installing VisualSVN. This will allow you to access your SVN repos via the browser.

So as not to be seen as self-promoting with a URL, please note that the domain names used here are obviously faked. I'm really just after some logical explanation of the situation described below.
My main company website, sample.com is hosted. I was checking the error logs and found quite a few where the referrer was listed as someothername.com. Out of curiosity, I pasted the referrer (someothername.com) into a browser and was greeted with my company's homepage! I ran a ping on someothername.com and it shows my dedicated IP address. I also ran a ping on my sample.com and it also shows my dedicated IP address. WTF?  How can another domain name point to my dedicated IP address? Is it possible that somebody screwed up a DSN record with their registrar? I just did a lookup on the someothername.com and see that they changed their records more than a few months back, but then, it seems like they might have noticed it by now. 
Now, it just so happens that for the past few months, certain web resources at my hosted site have been acting flaky...static xml files become unavailable, then a few seconds later, it's fine...images failing to load with the same behavior, a quick refresh and they now show up. It doesn't seem to me like the first thing would have anything to do with these problems, but the timing does seem weird.

Having multiple domain names resolving to the same IP address is perfectly reasonable. The server typically uses the "host" header to determine which site hosted on that address to route the request to, usually with a fall-back site for unrecognised hosts.
However, if the other site isn't associated with your company, and you're not using shared hosting, it sounds like someone's made a mistake with their DNS records. You could try running a "whois" query on the other domain to see if you can contact the owners to let them know.
Having a second domain pointing to your IP address wouldn't cause any technical problems. If you're worried about your company's site appearing for requests to the other domain, you could add a dummy site to your server with the specific host header, which would serve up a static HTML page notifying visitors of the mistake.

Richard, Thanks for the quick answer! I looked through the account information for my web host and it does not mention 'shared' anywhere. I think the issue lies with an incorrect DNS record and looking at my web stats (hits almost doubled) it all started back in August...yep, it has been at least half a year since I checked web stats or error logs! 
I suppose I should be a nice guy and at least inform my web host...maybe it's something they have to sort out, or at the very least they can tell the owner of the other domain about the problem. Thanks again!

I want to install some COBOL emulators on Windows 8. Can some one help me to find some emulators which are common in use??
|
|
|
|
|
Google will help you find such products.

|

There is a little mix in your question...
Do you mean COBOL compiler for Windows? COBOL for Windows...[^]
Or mainframe emulator to run COBOL in it? Mainframe emulator...[^]
Skipper: We'll fix it.

Hello Folks
I currently have a .NET 4.0 website successfully running on Windows Server 2008. It utilises SQL Compact 4.0 which resides in the App_Data folder. The database dlls reside in the bin folder.
I am moving to a new web host company and I want to test this on Windows 2012, ultimately with a view to moving to .NET 4.5 and, later, SQL Server.
My starting point was to move across all of my website folders, including a test database and SQLCE dlls and test the site.
Unfortunately I get the following error message when loading the home page for the first time. "Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. "
The first part of the trace states:
[ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.]
System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(String providerInvariantName) +1480919
System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnection.GetFactory(String providerString) +26
I am still learning .NET and server environment so please be kind. I have researched for answers this morning but it seems to raise more questions than answers for me.
Given my setup and the errors shown is there a best place to look/check first?
Thanks
Paul ..

That suggests that you do not have SQLCE installed on the new server, even though you have copied the DLLs. Some products are required to have the installation process run in order to set up links and registration information.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your help. I will try to get SQLCE 4.0 install process run on the server and report back.
|
|
|
|

Interestingly I have since (without any changes made) rerun the page and get a different result - strange.
The result is:
"The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid"
What I can't understand is I'm using exactly the same file structure, files and web.config as a working instance of the website so the above error has confused me.

|
|
|
|
Sorry, but that is something more connected with the framework you are using, and I don't have any experience with those products.
