We have been working on many new features with GIS. One of many exciting new features is document and photo management in GIS. These features have in been in the Adept Enterprise ® systems for years, and with GIS we would just link back to the Adept system to view the documents and photos, and the information saved with them.

Now, we just stay in the Adept GIS Mapping system which views ESRI maps, via published ARCGIS Servers. We write the mapping systems. We used to work with 3rd party GIS companies, but as ESRI provided better tools, we don’t need 3rd party GIS companies anymore, smart move by ESRI. Which helps us to deliver pure coded GIS enterprise systems at very cheap prices. In most cases we provide these GIS maps for free as long as you have an ESRI licensed GIS system.

We work with many government clients across the USA, and many utility corporations globally. GIS is a must have tool. When a huge project has been completed, such as a huge utility line, or gas line across many states is now going live and the contractors deliver all their project documents to you from the 8-10 plus year project that is now completed, odds are these documents are going into your Adept Enterprise® system. GIS tools makes it easy to locate that needed document, map, plan, image, by simply clicking locate me by the structure, or tool you need to find that document for.

Adept’s Clients can consolidate multiple databases with GIS into one manageable location, automate manual processes, prioritize work and cut expenses by eliminating paper-based procedures. Productivity increases and errors are virtually eliminated.

We have been working on many new features with GIS and are expanding these features weekly. We love to code and coding GIS is challenging, but very rewarding!

Windows 10 version 1903 hoses Visual Studio

Posted on by

After we upgraded Windows 10 to version 1903, we noticed that Visual Studio versions 2015 and higher lost references to the ADODB services, the IIS port numbers were claiming they were all in use, which was impossible and when you tried to re-reference the projects the projects were hosed.

Good news it was a simple fix. Reinstall or do a repair on your Visual Studio installation and you are good to go. If you changed your references in any of your projects after the Windows 10 upgrade to version 1903 before the Visual Studio reinstall, remove those projects and use a back up and your good to go. This was a pain, but not as bad as other Windows 10 updates in the past.

We believe in staying current on all systems, but with that having backups are a must! Happy Coding!!

Server 2008 R2 end of life

Posted on by

The end of the road is rapidly approaching. The Windows Server 2008 R2 end of life is January 14, 2020 and SQL Server 2008 R2 is July 9, 2019. That means the end of regular security updates.

For organizations that want to stay on premise and migrate to a newer Windows Server OS and SQL database system, the time is now. If the decision is to move to Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019, we recommend Windows Server 2019, with SQL Server 2016 or newer.

Server 2008 R2 end of life

The on premise Adept Enterprise systems must be upgraded to support the new versions of Windows Server OS and SQL database systems. We have already provided these updates to our customers. The time is now to upgrade.

The real threat of ransomware and damage to corporate brands is a major risk to not upgrade to supported systems. The 2017 WannaCry outbreak is an example of attacks that used vulnerabilities in outdated Windows systems.

The Software as a Service Adept Enterprise systems are already updated.

If your organization is still running Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 you have been warned. There is no excuse to run unsupported software systems. The risk is just to great.

Windows 10 Version 1809, Remote Desktop Bug Workaround

Posted on by

If you are running Windows 10 version 1809 Remote Desktop Connection from another Windows 10 version 1809, odds are the experience is slow, stalls, or just fails. This is a known Remote Desktop bug. Rumor has it Microsoft will have a fix out this April.

A workaround is to add an entry in the windows registry.
Add a new registry entry in:

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client”
UseURCP
REG_DWORD 0

Windows 10 Version 1809 RDP Temp Fix

Windows 10 has had a lot of issues over the years. Reminds me of the Windows 95 days, on all the registry tweaks. I will post a response here when a real fix is released. This workaround worked great for us on Windows 10 to Windows 10 Remote desktop connections via VPN. Windows 10 to Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connections via VPN did not have any issues, and thus did not need this workaround.

Hopefully this will help others from pulling their hair out. Keep it real out there, and have a great day.
