1 of 4 | "The required windows rights management client is present but the server refused access." message during registering Windows Rights Management Services in MOSS - When registering the Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) in Central Administration in MOSS, I received the "The required windows rights management client is present but the server refused access. IRM will not work until the server grants permission", even if I followed the 'To add SPS-SRV to the RMS Certification Pipeline' step from 'Deploying Windows Rights Management Services with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Step-By-Step Guide'. Solution: the Central Administration web application looks up in Active Directory the registered RMS service connection point and tries to access the ServerCertification.asmx web service which is in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\_wmcs\Certification fold......

2 of 4 | Funny thing in WSS 3.0: three state workflow cannot be started on docs having check-out required - I was playing around with SharePoint Services 3.0 to build a demo site for a customer.

You must first check this document in and then start the workflow.' Interesting:-))). ...

3 of 4 | Task timeout control in MOSS 2007 Workflow - the workaround for the Delay activity bug - I recently joined a project which automates different processes from a company using MOSS 2007 with Workflow Foundation and InfoiPath 2007 forms. We have the following scenario: create a SharePoint task in a deployed workflow with the CreateTask activity, wait for its completion with the OnTaskChanged activity and then delete the task with the DeleteTask activity. We have to control the timeout, so we tried to use in a parallel branch a Delay activity. In SharePoint 2007, if a workflow has a delay activity in a repeating control, the workflow goes idle and is persisted as designed but it is not awaked always as expected. We run several tests by puttting a one minute delay in an infinite ......

4 of 4 | Speaking at MSDN Briefing and Software Arhitects Forum in Cluj, Romania - On April 6th, during MSDN Briefing, technical event dedicated to developers, testers and system architects, I had a presentation about some practical aspects (like big message maps and automated deployment) of the development process with BizTalk 2004. The presentation had a good feedback from the Microsoft representatives. Interesting enough, nobody in the MSDN audience had experience with BizTalk.On April, 7th, during the Solution Architect Briefing, I presented a case study of service oriented arhitecture and enteprise application  integration and the SCRUM methodology used in that project. The presentation was a real success, the audience being mostly interested in......
