I need to find a dedicated hosting service that has (among other things) passed SSAE 16 audit. I found one that had the audit performed between 1/1/2013 and 6/1/2013. Should that be considered current enough? I'm not sure how often that audit must be performed to be considered current. Does anyone know?
IIS 6 seems to be limited (by default at least) to an http header of 16k. I have a 3rd party tool that is talking to the web server (ajax) and sending an http header that is bigger than that. Since I can't control the 3rd party tool, I am hoping to find an IIS 6 setting that will let me increase the maximum header size to 32768 or whatever.
I am running 2003 server (latest service pack). When i type this on the command line:
dir 2010*
or
dir 2010*.*
i receive this as the result:

can anyone tell me why? i was expecting to see a list of only files that begin with "2010". there are no such files in the directory, so i wasn't expecting to see anything. i must either misunderstand how DIR handles wildcards or i'm doing something stupid.
I have been tasked with getting analysis services running on a machine that has sql server 2005 on it. I should say that I'm primarily a developer not an admin so bear with me. Also, i am not the developer who wrote the analysis services code (not sure why i'm the one stuck with this:) ). Anyway, it seems that analysis services and sql server interfere with each other.
When I first started analysis services everything was fine. The sql server app and analysis services app both worked ok. After a reboot, the sql server app didn't work right. It would connect to the database, but when i listed the databases (using query analyzer or the application) it would list out the analysis services databases, not the sql server databases. It was like the analysis services server had replaced the sql server. Sql management studio could see both servers just fine so I know the sql server was running. Then, I stopped analysis services, restarted sql server and started analysis services again and both apps worked again. What concept am I missing? Are analysis services and sql server waiting on the same port?

I have a few processes on server windows 2003 servers (latest service packs, etc) that exhibit the same problem: a random failure to delete a file they should be able to delete. This happens both from software I've written and from batch files (run from the task scheduler).
For example: I have a program that opens an existing file then creates a log named the same as the file except with a different extension. When my program is done processing the file, it moves it to a subdirectory called "done" and then deletes the log. Sometimes, however, my delete fails. There is no virus scanner installed on the machine that might keep the file open. My software is the only software that does anything with this file - heck, it created the file. And, yet, the file fails to delete. This software processes over 5000 files a week. Some weeks I'll never get the error, others it will happen one or two times, apparently randomly. It is not a rights access thing and I'm baffled. It is not a problem I can replicate on demand; it just happens sometimes. It happens on multiple servers and from batch files as well as from my software.
Has anyone encountered anything like this? I put an error trap in the delete and it appears to be getting an "Accessed Denied" type of error on delete.
--- ADDENDUM Just another note: yes, I tried delaying the delete after I close the file (see comment below). Further, one of the batch files that I have does this:
if exist my_lockfile.txt goto exit_this_batch
echo here is a lock file > my_lockfile.txt
call someother_program
call more_programs
call there_is_always_a_delay_of_at_least_a_minute_here
del my_lockfile.txt
:exit_this_batch
This batch file above about 1 in 10000 times will fail to delete. The delay between the creation with echo and the del is always at least a minute. Weird.
