I have some virtual machines in the Azure cloud, and I've just found that there are several .vhd files (all 127GB) on one of my premium storage accounts. I don't ever recall creating these by snap-shotting my machines, so I'm wondering why there are multiple files with different dates on. Can old ones just be deleted safely, and also, how can I stop these from being created autmatically, if indeed they are being automatically created? Azure premium storage is a little pricey, so I'm keen to try and understand what is going on here and cut down on the storage spending where necessary.
I am running a website in IIS and am also running another piece of software which streams media over port 1935 on the same server. The streaming software also has the capability of delivering content over port 443. I have assigned an SSL certificate to it, but it can't bind to port 443 on the IP address it uses as it is being taken by IIS.
I am not able to use the 'netsh' command to explicity bind the IP address being used by the website, because I also need to binding for the streaming application's IP address in IIS so that content can be deliverd over port 80.
Is there a way of being able to stop IIS listing on port 443 for a specific IP address, whilst still allowing it to listen on port 80 for the same IP?
I have just tried moving the log location for the SQL server 2008 R2 logs as I have a fairly small System disk due to the massive size of the Winsxs folder, and now I am getting the following error in the logs:
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'D:\SQL ERROR LOGS'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
I have ensured that the account the SQL Service is running under has full control in the ACL of the new destination.
I've now changed it back to the original location and the service still won't start, reporting the same error.
I've tried deleting the logs to see if that helps but to no avail.
Anyone seen this before?
I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard and have installed IIS 8.0 but need to install the Application Development role service, however when I try to do so the installation progress never moves. It stays on 'Starting installation' and the progress bar never changes. I have checked the event logs and there are no errors in there. Anyone know why this might be happening?
I have a problem with files that are being moved into a folder that is set to replace permissions on child objects for the Network Service account. The process is that a media file is uploaded to a website, and is encoded by a piece of software. This moves the file to a folder but for some reason the files that get moved there don't inherit the Network Service account in security permissions. If I manually move a file into the folder the permission is inherited. I have used the effective permissions tool to check the Network Service account security permissions on the parent folder but this shows that there is nothing overriding it - the account has full permissions.
Can try and supply more info if required, but any answers grealty appreciated!
I have a .NET application running on server 2008 running IIS 7.5 that has two sites bound to the same IP address. A customer has moved the application root for one of the sites by accident to a network drive and now I am getting the error "The specified network password is not correct" even now that I've changed the directory back to the correct one and verified that the security permissions are correct. The other site is running fine, but I can't work out what I need to do to get this one working.
Hopefully someone can help me with this!
Thanks
I have a question about accounts that can be used to perform directory lookups. I need to have an account that can perform lookups for an application, however it needs to have the minimum permissions needed to do this. Does anyone know whether it is possible to have an account that can perform directory lookups that is not an administrator? I thought that it was, but need to know which group it needs to be assigned so that it has the least privileges whilst still being able to perform lookups.
TIA
I have an issue whereby I have a web application installed on one of my Windows Server 2003 virtual machines that has a database held on a local copy of SQL Express 2005.
This has been working fine - I installed the application find and it created the database in SQL, and the software has been operating fine since.
It has just stopped working as a result of me troubleshooting another part of it, but here's the wierd thing - the thing that has broken it is DISABLING the Windows firewall service on my local machine. It is a Windows 7 machine if that makes a difference.
I had the firewall turned off anyway but I know that it can still sometimes affect traffice. Does anyone know what could have caused this problem? The application communicates with the SQL server on port 1433.
Thanks in advance!

I'm a Fedora (well linux actually!) novice and I am trying to install some software but am having problems.
It is a .tar.gz file and I've extracted it using tar -zxvf, and that has given me a .bin file. This is where i am stuck, as I can't find anywhere that says how to install a .bin file on Fedora. It's in a directory that I've given full permissions to my user to exectue files from.
Does anyone know if it is possible to install a .bin file, or has ever done it and could give me some pointers?
