Escenario: Queréis migrar CRM 4.0 a 2011 con el menor impacto para los usuarios, y para que el sistema viejo pueda seguir en uso durante la migración. La solución que se intenta la mayoría de las veces (y no siempre la más acertada) es: Meter el CD de CRM 2011 sobre el servidor actual de Crm 4.0, e instalar contra las bases de datos existentes. Esto hará  que el proceso de instalación actualice tanto los archivos del sitio web, como las bases de datos de una sola pasada

Dans un précédent billet , je vous donnais une astuce pour avoir la description de l’ensemble des événements pour une source donnée. Une nouvelle solution plus élégante est disponible depuis que la structure des événements de sécurité a été revue avec Windows Vista et que PowerShell en version 2 est disponible. La page de référence de l’utilisation de PowerShell v2 pour manipuler les événements est sur : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd367894.aspx L’adaptation de l’exemple 8 aux événements de sécurité donne la commande suivante : (get-winevent -listprovider Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing).events | format-table id, description –auto

Here’s my recommended training plan to become a Dynamics CRM 2011 developer (it’s what I used).  The foundational technologies you will need to understand are: Visual Studio 2010 .NET Framework 4.0 SOAP based Web Services OData (aka WCF Data Services) Windows Workflow Foundation Silverlight (optional) HTML JavaScript XML (many customizations requiring tweaking XML or using tools that tweak XML) SQL Server Reporting Services There are other technologies that many CRM development efforts include as part of the overall system solution. Excel & PowerPivot for advanced Business Intelligence & Reporting Claims-based Authentication and ADFS 2.0 ASP.NET Windows Azure Platform BizTalk Server Team Foundation Server The first set are almost always used.  When to use the second set is highly dependent on the needs of the overall solution architecture.  I’ll be blogging about some of these over time.  Why is TFS in the second set?  I wish I could say TFS is almost always used, but just like other forms of development, it would surprise you how many people aren’t using good ALM tools.  You should strive to make TFS part of the first group .  There are all sorts of resources around the web to learn fundamentals of most of these technologies.  I am not going to make this post about those.  If you are looking for a one stop shop to ramp up on the above, then you might want to take a look at Pluralsight On-Demand .  I get nothing out of endorsing them.  I’m just one of many satisfied subscribers.  I consider them top notch.  I recently asked them about CRM training through their contact form .  The response was that it is on their TODO list.  The more people that ask, the higher priority it will get.  I already had the fundamental knowledge above when I began my CRM dev journey.  What’s next is what I did to ramp up and dig in to Dynamics CRM 2011 specifics.

Greetings! We’re looking for authors who are interested in putting together a book to educate developers on both the range of current Kinect development projects and to provide them with instructions and code on how to build such projects. If you have experience with the Microsoft Kinect API and are interested in authoring or co-authoring such a book, or if you know people involved in Kinect projects that you think would be good for inclusion in such a book and you can provide introductions, please respond to b-rujone@microsoft.com

Today’s post comes to us from Spencer Harbar, a SharePoint MVP , at http://www.harbar.net . He graciously offered to let us use his User Profiles graphic and accompanying text

I’ve had many conversations lately with people about using Windows Azure to build “Hybrid Solutions.”  The typical response I get is “what’s that?”  When I explain that it is the concept of running part of your application in Windows Azure and part of it in your own datacenter, the typical response I get is “I didn’t know that was possible.”  Not only is it possible, but it is relatively painless to setup.  Two of the common scenarios that this approach applies to are: Enterprise app migrated to Windows Azure that requires access to on-premise SQL Server Windows Azure app domain-joined to corporate Active Directory A good example of the first scenario is the need to protect data “at rest” in order to comply with laws, regulations, and guidelines established in various industries.  SQL Azure does not currently offer the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) feature like its on-premises sibling (SQL Server ).  This is a perfect scenario for a hybrid solution using Windows Azure Connect.  In this scenario, you still get the opportunity to take advantage of many of the cloud computing benefits the Windows Azure Platform such as Compute (Web/Worker/Virtual Machine) Roles , Caching and more .  So in an effort to do my part to help raise broader awareness, I recorded this screencast: http://bit.ly/azureconnecthybrid

Včera večer, během úvodní přednášky na konferenci MIX11, ohlásil Scott Guthrie několik novinek na platformě Windows Azure. Jelikož přednáška byla relativně skoupá na detaily, projel jsem několik produktových webů a shromáždil další informace.

Dear Mr. Client O’Mine: Per your request to give you a high-level explanation of how computers work, above is a diagram, along with a walk through that will hopefully dispel the mystery. Let us start with the central processing unit (CPU)

Well, the slowest steps in the fetch-execute cycle are those that require accessing memory (Englander, 2007).
