I noticed that the display name for the "Link" field for WorkflowTask content type has changed to "Related Content" with static name "WorkflowLink." The Link field normally contains the Url to the List and the title/name of the item that the workflow task is referring to in a comma delimited format. I was using the Link field to get the associated item information.  Excerpt from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\ctypes\ctypeswss.xml: <ContentType Version="0" Group="_Hidden" Name="$Resources:WorkflowTask" ID="0x010801" Description="$Resources:WorkflowTaskCTDesc" Hidden="TRUE"> <FieldRefs> <FieldRef Name="Link" ID="{58ddda52-c2a3-4650-9178-3bbc1f6e36da}"/> <FieldRef Name="OffsiteParticipant" ID="{16b6952f-3ce6-45e0-8f4e-42dac6e12441}"/> <FieldRef Name="Offs

Installing ColdFusion MX7 on Windows 2008 R2 64bit and Windows 2012 R2 64bit With the end of support for Windows 2003, it was time to move our Cold Fusion services to a newer server architecture. Though we've generally moved to ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC, we have a few applications that were developed for Cold Fusion MX 7 around 2006.  We haven't had time to rewrite some of the old ColdFusion MX7 applications, so we kept those applications running on the old Windows 2003 platform.  Since we don't develop any new applications in CFMX7 and we plan to eventually rewrite everything in .NET, we have not bothered to purchase a newer version of Cold Fusion, as is recommended by ADOBE.  NOTE: CFMX7 is not supported on Windows 2008 and Windows 2012.  You should probably purchase and use the latest version of Cold Fusion for your production environment, especially if you intend on supporting those CF apps over the long term. Given that note, here are the steps that I’ve co

I wrote a script that will completely remove and then deploy a solution package in MOSS2013 with compatibility level set to All.  This ensures that the solution package files are installed onto both the 14 and 15 hive. The script will wait until the solution is uninstalled before reinstalling the package.  Then, it will continuously check the deployment status, until the solution shows up as deployed.

I was able to find the script for the skit at snltranscripts.jt.org.  And here it is for your viewing pleasure.  If SNL doesn't put this on YouTube, maybe someone can remake it and put it up. Il Returno de Hercules King Laetes.....Dana Carvey/Tom Davis (voice) Helena.....Nora Dunn/Jan Hooks (voice) Hercules.....Bill Murray Guard.....A Whitney Brown Announcer : [ over SCROLL ] "In the time known as the Heroic Age, many centuries before the birth of Christ, Greece was still a savage and uncivilized land. In these dark times, one man alone defended the helpless - the Mighty Hercules. For many years the mighty Hercules fought for the common people, until at length his rich diet and increasingly sedentary lifestyle began to tak

These instructions are based off of Dan Brown's YouTube Video.  I just put his video tips into writing.  I didn't spend time on explaining how to solve a single layer, because I can usually do that without using any algorithms.  It's always layer 2 and 3 that I could never seem to figure out.
