I'm looking at using an ASA 5520 for the database of an ecommerce site. According to End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco ASA 5520 Adaptive Security Appliance, this product is currently in the middle of a series of end of life dates (spanning 3/2013 to 9/2018). How long can I safely use this firewall and what risks am I taking if I choose this product? It may be worth noting that the firewall is managed by one of the major cloud server companies, (so, presumably, they have already acquired the soon-to-be expiring service contracts).
Background: I am researching several Virtual Machine Manager solutions. They are being considered for use in separating configuration for multiple development and testing environments. The decision has already been made to use Windows Server 2012 and to integrate deployment with TFS 2012.
Question: Is there anything about what I've said that indicates there would be a problem with using Hyper-V? Are there any potential incompatibilities that are likely to arise with this configuration or is this an ideal environment for Hyper-V?
How can I create a catchall for any unspecified subdomains of website.com in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 RC2?
I have already configured a CNAME DNS entry for *.website.com pointing to website.com.
The behavior I am trying to achieve is that any subdomain of website.com, such as foidhfsio.website.com, will resolve to website.com, unless I have specifically defined another site in IIS with the requested host header.
I am having a little trouble understanding how to manipulate the hosts file. I am using IIS 7.5 and Windows Server 2008 RC2.
How can I make any requests from my machine to google.com resolve to bing.com?
I know that there is a way to make any defined URL resolve to a different URL, but I can't remember how or where to define this setting.
I understand this is ambiguous, so consider the following example. I am building http://www.webapplication.com. I have set up the web site in IIS 7. However, I haven't forwarded the nameservers to resolve my server yet, so the URL points to somewhere else completely. However, when I access http://www.webapplication.com locally, I would like the IIS 7 website to be resolved.
How can I do this? Is this a setting in IIS, the individual browser (IE or Chrome) or somewhere else (like my network settings)?
Using my administrator account, I FTP connected to my IIS 7.5 FTP Site with FileZilla. I was able to successfully upload a file, but I keep getting a "Failed to retrieve directory listing" in response.
In passive mode, the command, response and error are:
Command: LIST
Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection.
Response: 550 The network connection was aborted by the local system.
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
In active mode, the command, response and error are:
Command: PORT 192,168,1,129,102,151
Response: 501 Server cannot accept argument.
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
What have I done wrong?
Is there an IIS 7.5 Web Site View that looks anything like the IIS 6 Web Site Properties view? I know where everything is in IIS6 (host headers, redirections, default filename etc.), but the view in IIS 7.5 is completely different. Is there anyway to access a traditional view in IIS 7.5?
If not, how would I access these features in IIS 7?
I am getting a Windows server with the option for Windows Server 2008 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit. I will only be running IIS7 and SQL Server 2008 Express. Which should I use and what are the indications?
Where can I find a reliable resource that compares different providers of Microsoft VPS and Dedicated Servers?
What exactly is the difference between a VPS (Virtual Private Server), a Cloud Server, and a Dedicated Server? I'm having trouble finding a concise explanation that isn't littered with advertising.
