I have been doing it wrong. Like others in my Twitter list, I too am guilty of p0sting updates which are then automatically updated to my Facebook. What’s the point? Why would someone follow me on Twitter if they are a friend on Facebook? Linkedin, I’m comfortable with my use of. Here is my take on each of these popular Social Media tools and how I will use them going forward.

Facebook - Strictly social. If someone is a friend on Facebook, they might not want to hear every single blog update. Subjecting them to the latest change on one of my rides or an install will eventually be viewed as spam and quite frankly I wouldn’t want someone doing that to me. All that said I’ll be keeping updates regarding my life here albeit this maybe a filtered view as once something is online, it’s for the world to see and will not ever go away.

Twitter - Twitter does have purpose. The key is in it’s definition. I am choosing to use Twitter as my outlet for site updates. Not everyone understands RSS feeds, but a lot of people understand Twitter. If you like this blog and you would like to know whenever updates are made, you can do so using Twitter or by subscribing through RSS. I have already dropped one friend from Twitter for their constant Tweets and will likely drop another. Constant tweets create so much noise that I miss any actual “meat” that might I might otherwise be interested.

The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application Pool ‘DefaultAppPool’ because of the following error: Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. The data may have additional error codes.

UPDATE: I have a better fix for this after finding the Microsoft IIS Diagnostic Tool Kit. Install this tool and it will tell you what group needs to have permissions to the different folders and registry keys which will help find a solution to this issue much quicker. I’ll post my updated batch file at the end of this post.

Reviewing the logs, I ran aross this error on quite a few webservers. A closer look shows that it’s a permissions issue which can be fixed by doing the following.

Add the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account to C:\WINDOWS\Help\iisHelp\common with “Read and Execute,” “List Folder Contents” and “Read”.

Add the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account to C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ASP Compiled Templates with Full Control.

Add the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account to C:\WINDOWS\IIS Temporary Compressed Files with Full Control.

Seems like a lot of work when there are so many machines to make these changes to. That said, I did a little digging and found the following Command.
