Why does new sametime message kill Notes and Designer - xpages

About once a day, when I get pinged via sametime and it causes Notes and Designer to crash immediately. If I am looking at the screen, I can see the sender and part of the message before the NDS message comes up that Notes has crashed.
I am a developer, not an admin, and hope to troubleshoot this myself or at least have information to give to the Notes Admin and/or desktop support.
Running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with 6GB Ram. 64bit O/S. Notes Designer 9.01FP3. Worth noting is this is a virtual machine.
Note: I am always in designer when it crashes, not Notes itself.

Steve I don't think this is a stackoverflow question.
But I believe that the problem is related to increased JVM memory for the designer. I've turned of sametime inside the client and is running the external client = problem solved

Visual Studio 2017 crashes after 10-20 minutes

For over a month now I've been experiencing problems with VS2017 on my home PC. I even tried submitting the feedback to Microsoft. There's more info about the problems I'm experiencing there.
The problem:
The gist of it is that VS is eating RAM like crazy. As soon as I start opening files, adding new files, using IntelliSense, building or (especially) debugging, the RAM usage skyrockets.
After that it's only a matter of time before the VS crashes and restarts without any error message. Though there are numerous error messages throughout these breif ~20min I have with each session.
Additional details I observed:
Doesn't happen with Python projects, as these don't have to be built constantly. It might be eventually happening if you debug a lot, but I didn't have the chance to check that because most of my Python coding is debugged on an external device
Size of the loaded solution doesn't matter;
UWP and WPF seem to crash the most. Console Projects take longer to crash.
Also affects .NET Core;
It doesn't matter which version of .NET Framework I use;
VS2015 worked perfectly, but I don't have it anymore after the format
What I already tried:
I reinstalled VS;
I refreshed Windows;
I reinstalled Windows;
I checked my drives and RAM for issues - none found;
I switched from Community to Enterprise;
I tried disabling extensions;
I applied some shady hotfix I found somewhere;
Finally, I installed Rider which seems to be the best solution as of now. It still lacks many important features, though.
Is there anything else I can do/try/check? Did anyone experience (and fix) a similar issue?
Cheers!
You get a System.OutOfMemoryException, this means your Visual Studio runs out of free virtual address space (4GB on 64 Bit Windows for the 32Bit Visual Studio because Visual Studio is configured to be large address aware and MS refuses to release VS as 64Bit program which would fix this issue).
To analyze the memory usage, you need to run WPRUI.exe (part of Windows Performance Toolkit (which gets installed by VS2017) for some scenarios, if not, install it on your own), select Reference Set (Note: expand the Resource Analysis entry first to see all options).
and click on Start. Capture the memory usage grow for some 100s of MB and click on Save.
Open the generated ETL with the analyzer (WPA.exe) and analyze what the process devenv.exe is doing.
Also zip the ETL + NGENPDB folder (important) as zip and attach it to your bug report so that Microsoft can analyze it.

Creating a form in SharePoint

I want to build a simple form in SharePoint.
The version of the SharePoint is not important for me, because my form is not going to be used by a real user and its not going to be uploaded to a real server. My windows is a 32-bit win 7.
Someone please help me. Here are my questions:
1- which version of the SharePoint should i install?
2- Is it necessary to install windows server?
3- Should i install Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007?
It's worth mentioning that my intention of doing this is to control the process of making the real forms which is going to be done by a company.
You will need windows server for sure and also a 64bit environment. I would suggest to read the basics of MS SharePoint on the Microsoft websites, especially the installation and prerequisites sections...

WinForms program is larger through Remote Desktop on Windows 2012 server compared to Windows 2003 server

Recently, we have switched our server that handles Remote Desktop connections from 2003 to 2012. When I run the same winForms program on each server, the one on 2012 appears to be larger. My workstation is Windows 10 and I put the resolution down to 1280 x 768 so I can see the screen at the top and the bottom on each RDP session on each server. On the 2003 server, the screen fits the desktop. On the 2012 server, the screen goes below the desktop and you can't see the bottom. It appears the controls such as the text boxes are just a little larger which is forcing the whole program to be larger.
I did check the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" on Windows 10 desktop and it's set to 100% (Recommended). This doesn't seem to be the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas why the behavior would change between the two servers?
This is probably because 2012 does DPI-scaling (so the remote session tries to adjust the DPI to the same as it is on the client session): https://superuser.com/questions/830234/remote-desktop-into-windows-8-1-pc-with-high-dpi-scaling (also, I guess that you mean 2012R2 because DPI scaling only appears in RDP 8.1 which corresponds to 2012R2).
I have the same issue and I'm just blown away at the amount of money my organization has spent on RDS 2012 and it's been nothing but a complete nightmare. We have various types of Surfaces, desktops and monitors all of which require each user to have the ability to change the resolution and display settings on the actual terminal services end. We've tried everything on both the client and server side to correct this but displays are either too large for some users and too small for other users. Why doesn't Microsoft come out with a patch like there was for server 2008???? I understand the DPI scaling technology, and I will tell you it's horrible when you have multiple versions of the Microsoft Surface and other brand desktops (and yes we have installed the desktop experience on the server end).
Here's what I strongly recommend:
Abandon the whole terminal server 2012 configuration and go with individual virtual desktops. After this, install the display and resolution patch for each desktop which lets each user configure their own resolution and display settings. Not only will your users thank you but you'll thank yourself!!
We had this issue for about a week and I restarted our Windows Server 2012 on remote desktop and DPI is back to normal! :) I guess this must be some automatic Windows update that fixed this.

Visual Source Safe 8 on Windows 2012

I have fairly large legacy (read only) VSS 8 database that is currently sitting on a windows 2003 server.
As part of an infrastructure consolidation I am being asked to move it onto a new Windows 2012 server. I can't find any notes on whether or not VSS8 will run on 2012; before I even attempt this do you know of any issues running VSS on Windows 2012?
Is it easier to flip the old server to a VM and keep it for posterity and those rare occasions we want to know what someone did in the naughties?
The database itself is merely a fileshare, so you don't have to install the accelerator if you don't want to/are unable to.
In the weeks since asking have deploying VSS2005 (with the runtime available on the server) onto Windows 2012 enterprise. The applications install with a warning about versions but they run fine; including the admin tools for users and checking the consistency of the databases. The end user side all works well too.

Process monitor on windows server 2003

We have a third party vendor running a program/service on my servers. We need to monitor that process and see if that process is using a lot of memory or dumping/uploading lot of data or accessing any other process/stuff that it is supposed not to access.
What is the best possible way to do this? Since it is a prod box, we are not supposed to install any software on the server. So, any default tools (like Regmon/Filemon) that comes with Win 2003 would be great. But, if there is no tools that can help, I can get persmissions to install s/w.
tldr; need to keep an eye on a process using default windows tools. What is the best way??
Any help/pointers is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
As a first regmon and filemon does not comes with any windows version neither desktop nor server edition.
It is product of sysinternals (M. Rusenovich) currently are covered by MS, but not bundled in any version of OS.
Standard tools are called performance counters and are available through manage computer context menu on "My Computer" icon, or just by running perfmon.exe or perfmon.msc
You can setup exact what you want to track.
