Server 2008 is asking for "microsoft.web.administration" in the GAC - windows-server-2008

On server 2008 how can I find "microsoft.web.administration" and load it into the GAC?
My program used to work but now it terminates complaining that it could not load "microsoft.web.administration".
Can anyone help?

I figured it out. I just referenced the control from the windows server 2008 SDK and it worked fine. Thanks.

Connect SQL 2008 with SQL 2005 SSMS

i need to connect SQL Server 2008 instance with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. There is a limitation on my Box that i can not upgrade the framework to 3.5. There are few applications running on my box which will stop functioning after 3.5 upgrade. Is there any way to achieve this? I GOOGLE this problem and found a Cumulative update package for this problem. i installed this too but there is no hope so far.

I would be very grateful if someone can help me out in this regard.

Can you not remote desktop to the box hosting the SQL 2008 instance and use the tools installed locally.

Can I run Windows Server 2008 on Amazon EC2

does anyone know if this can be done? I can find Windows Server 2003 but not 2008.
I read you can create your own EC2 Virtual machines, but I haven't found any articles that say you can do this with Windows Server 2008.
I'm really after IIS7, but I'd also intend to use SQL Server Express 2008 until such time as I can add support for SimpleDB or maybe fire up a seperate SQL Server instance.
I also have some Windows Services which run. Which puts shared hosting out the window mostly. Yes there's Azure but I think that would involve more effort than I want to spend initially.
Any help much appreciated,
My current stack is
Windows Server 2008
IIS7
.Net 3.5 SP1
Asp.net MVC
Some Windows Services
Linq2Sql
SQL Server Express 2008
You can now!
Amazon revealed Windows Server 2008 availability in december 2009 and there are pre-build AMIs ready for use either with or without Sql Server 2008.
See their Windows information page for more info about pricing and such. The Windows & .NET Developer Center is also a useful resource.
Amazon EC2 does not currently support any Windows besides Windows 2003.
Have you tried hosting.com's cloud? http://hosting.com/cloudhosting/enterprise/

SAP DCOM Connector on Windows Server 2008

Does anybody know, if it is possible to use the "old" SAP DCOM Connector on a Windows Server 2008 ?
I want to migrate a old ASP Web Solution with DCOM Connection to SAP from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2008 Server.
When I try to install the DCOM Connector I get the Error Message:
"Setup could not find ActivX(R) Data Objects verion 2.5 or higher on your computer...."
That is strange, because ado is there under C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado !
Thanks in advance for your help !
I wasn't able to make it work even on windows 2003 server. I don't remember how hard I tried. But its certainly not supported event for windows 2003. And actually this component is out of support since 2005 or something like this.

Are there any pitfalls trying to run DNN on Windows Server 2008 Web Edition?

I am considering switching to a co-located solution running a DNN (DotNetNuke) installation and an email server that mostly just does alias forwarding. I think I can get DNS services outside of this colocation box - but that could be an issue.
I am running this website for a non-profit group and trying to stay inexpensive. Will Windows Server 2008 Web Edition be acceptable for running all of this? My research so far says it will but I am looking for anyone with any experience running web edition and what sort of pitfalls does it have?
I was going to install SQL express as the backend for the DNN site. Indications are that you can't connect to SQL from outside the Web Edition box. Does this include SQL Management studio?
Any assistance or advice on this would be appreciated.
Update:
Still looking for any specifics with Windows Server 2008 Web Edition
We tried running DNN on Windows 2008 64-bit and 32-bit a while back. Not a great experience with intermittant failures and application hangs. We had to revert back to Windows 2003.
This was on a moderately loaded site. If you want to give them any sort of guaranteed uptime/availability I would recommend Windows 2003.
