Running SugarCRM Community Edition on Windows Server 2008 R2

After much trial and error I’ve finally figured out the magic formula to get SugarCRM 5.5.2 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with a remote SQL 2005 server. I have two servers for this project, Server1 (Web Server), and Server2 (SQL 2005 Server). Here are the steps I took to make this work… Server2 (SQL)…
Network or Active Directory Required Resources Not Available

Our instance of Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 began reporting the following error from one of our Sharepoint servers: “Windows cannot determine the user or computer name.

In the case of ISA, we have two seperate NIC’s each on a seperate VLAN with only…
ConfigMgr & Software Updates – Maintenance Windows

Commerce Server 2009 NTLM Authentication Error

After fixing the previous issue with host headers and NTLM authentication, we discovered that we could only login to the site from the server itself. From every other machine we received the following error message when authenticating: Authentication Failed. at Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Profiles.ProfileServiceClass.GetProfileByKey(String bstrKeyMemberName, Object sValue, String bstrType, Boolean bReturnError) at Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Profiles.Profile..ctor(ProfileContext profileService, String keyName,…
