How to find out the version of IIS you are running.

Appears are simple enough question but you have to peer into the registry to find out the answer.

Open Regedit
Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp

In that "folder" there is a key called "VersionString" which shows the version of IIS you have.

Where can I find SQL Server Managment Studio for SQL Server 2012?

Where to find SQL Server 2012 Management Studio download?

When I was looking, I could only find SQL server Management Studio for SQL 2005 which came as part of SQL Server 2005 Express

Digging a bit deeper and I found this for SQL server Express 2012.  From here you can download just the Management Studio components:

Fixing Domino regional date/time when running as a service

Fixing Domino date/times when running as a service

When running a domino server as a user (i.e. as an application), the international settings for date/time etc come from the Windows user regional settings.

However, when running the same server as a windows service, the region settings come from the registry and there is no way to change them from the user interface.

By default those region settings are US.

If you wish to change them then, you need to do the following:
  1. Login as a user with administrator rights
  2. Change the current logged in user settings to those that you want
  3. Start regedit.exe
  4. Manually copy all of the different settings:
From:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International
to
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/International

It is easier with a large screen so both the source and the destination are on the screen at the same time.
