We have an SBS 2003 server with a WSS 3.0 SharePoint site configured on it. As part of preparation for a migration to SBS 2011, a whole bunch of updates have been applied to it. Unfortunately, one of these updates killed SharePoint. It appears that the SharePoint databases were orginally part of  a server\SharePoint SQL instance but were migrated to MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE. So, at some time the databases were migrated from the old SQL 2000-based windows Internal DB to SQL 2005 Express Edition. My best guess is that this was done by some of the updates. There was an error: SQL Database 'STS_Config' on SQL Server instance 'np:\\.\pipe\MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE\sql\query' not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. Looking in the SQL error log at C:\WINDOWS\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\LOG\Errorlog has further info: Error: 17207, Severity: 16, State: 1.

I am by no means an Apple product expert. However, here's my tip of the day. Apple devices such as iPods and iPads have a deep sleep mode that they go into when the battery gets very low. When they are in this deep sleep mode, it appears that they can't turn on. To bring an iPad or iPhone out of deep sleep: Hold home button (lower middle) and sleep button (upper right edge) for 10 seconds To bring an iPod touch out of deep sleep: Hold the sleep button (upper right edge) for about 10 seconds It may also help if the device is plugged into power when this is performed. We've also seen some of these devices go into this deep sleep mode for no apparent reason. I suspect an odd user button combination, but can't tell for sure. So, even if the batter charge is OK, this may be your issue.

I'm doing some work with the release candidate of System Center 2012 - Operations Manager. It requires .NET Framework 4 and I made the mistake of installing .NET Framework 4 before installing IIS on the server. As a result, ASP.NET for .NET Framework 4 is not registered in IIS. Happily it's an easy fix: Open a command prompt Change to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 Run aspnet_regiis.exe -i  After registering you still need to enable it in IIS Manager. Open IIS Manager and browse to the server Double-click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions Allow both ASP.NET v.4 instances Run iisreset.exe
