VSTF Tip - Reports Fail to Run

If you have done a single server install with AD and hit this error:

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'TfsReportDS'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser)
Logon failed. (rsLogonFailed)
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070569)

Go to the local security policy and give the service account (TFSSERVICE) permissions to logon locally. Reboot and you should be golden.

Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency

Long time no blog.  Been doing quite a bit of reading, design and coding as of late.  I have been reading so many great books I decided that I should perhaps share a few of the books I have gone through.

Started a new category and this is the start of my reading list.

First Up:

Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency by Tom Demarco

Key learning: Slack provides an organization the capacity to change. Many companies that have focused on efficiency by eliminating all slack have also eliminated their ability to respond to changing markets, etc.

Good airplane read.  Easy to finish between Seattle and New York.  Kind of diverges towards the end into Risk Management but the first 20 or so chapters are great.  Overall only 220 pages and an interesting read.

VSLive Returns to Boston

VSLive, the premier conference for .NET Developers, is returning to it's roots!  It has been over 10 years I believe since VSLive was last in Boston.  Boston it is June 28 - July 1st at the Westin Copley Place Hotel.

The plan is to split into two tracks: a Smart Client track and an ASP.NET track.  I have been asked to head up the content selection for the ASP.NET portion of this show. 

Please send all proposals to me and include VSLive Boston in the title so that I spot them.  Treat this as the first call for proposals.  I need all proposals sent to me by March 7th so I can get a preliminary matrix setup. I need proposals for both 60 minutes sessions and all day workshops. 

Each proposal should include:

Session Title

Three-Four sentence abstract

Your Bio

Compact Framework Licensing Solutions?

Does anyone know of any solutions for licensing applications running on the compact framework?  I have an application that I want to release as a time limited demo.  You should then be able to purchase a key to unlock it and have it function as a full version of the application.  Xheo has some interesting tools for the full framework but their compact framework version is a ways off.  I need a solution in the next month or two. All suggestions very appreciated.

Patterns and Practices Turning Their Attention to Compact Framework

I have been lobbying for this for quite some time.  The compact framework seems like an ideal platform to extend with blocks given the limited surface area that the base framework covers.  Turns out the P&P guys are looking at this platform and want some feedback.

Please hit the survey here and give them some feedback!

Thanks!
