What to do if you get 'WebForm_PostBackOptions' is undefined with MOSS 2007

by rahul 11/23/2011 4:24:29 PM
Recently, while working with MOSS 2007 on my VM I noticed that most of my pages, including Central Administration pages was throwing Javascript error. I did a lot of random things to fix, but realized very soon that fixing an issue should always be a focused and thoughtful process. Troubleshooting in the dark wasn't taking me anywhere, so this was the thought process that bailed me out. Step 1> Since it is a Javascript error, let's isolate and ensure that it is a problem with 1 site, or all ... [More]

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage–after installing KB977377

by Vivek 7/21/2010 3:19:00 PM
Few days back, one of my colleague faced the above error when he accessed the web site that was hosted on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 machine which had IIS 7 installed and configured. Not sure what changed, but the error was very crude and didn’t give any information on what was causing it. This is a simple web service application which required client certificate authentication. With little or no information about what caused the issue we started troubleshooting the issue right f... [More]

“HTTP 404.17 – Not Found” on Win7 for Web Site that was build with .net 3.0 as the target framework

by vivek 5/25/2010 9:11:04 AM
Let me confess, I had to cook this up to give you this example. It happened to my colleague some days back when he developed a simple WCF application on Windows Server 2003 using VS2003. He selected “Target Framework 3.0” in the Property Page of that Web Site. He then deployed the application on his Win7 machine which has VS2010 with .net 4.0 installed. He fires the Web Site http://localhost/Service.svc and he gets “HTTP 404.17 – Not Found” when running the Web Site under Classic .NET AppPool.... [More]

Recently, I installed MS Office 2010 RTM and along with all the “cool” features, I got something which took me by surprise. The Local Disk (Q). I wasn’t really sure if I got affected by some kind of virus. Take a look at my drives… I tried, “Ejecting” this drive but couldn’t. I tried getting into this drive and all I could get was “Access Denied”. Disk Management utility didn’t even talk about this Q Drive. After a little research found that this was because of Application Virtualization ... [More]
