I ran today in this message in the SiteManager.aspx of SharePoint Server 2010: there was an error in the callback content and structure

So allright, I checked the search engines and did find some answers regarding this problem, but you know what. When restart your IIS server on your Web Front End the message doesn’t go away. Hmm odd, how could that be, well I figured out that it does a call back to another server, in my case it was one of the other SharePoint Servers in the farm. After resetting this server it removes the message and everything works fine again.

I’m working for a cliënt two days in a week, and he added a simple Subscription that creates a mhtml file into a document library. On that library is running a List Workflow that detect if there are any changes or new items added. If so, it should send emails to the stakeholders.

Well everything seems to be ok, and creating that kind of workflow with SPD shouldn’t be a problem, right? Well it’s going to be totally wrong.

When starting the workflow manual it’s fine, when adding a document by hand it’s also fine, but the problem starts when we’re adding mhtml files by subscription. So I thought that it had to do with the permissions. Well it weren’t exactly the permissions.

Here is an example of a manual added workflow by SPD. And what I am getting when subscription had run.

So I checked the ULS logs to find out which problems I’m having.

So I thought, well maybe I can run it with code. Just added some simple by using WorkFlowActivited and SPUtility. Well that didn’t do the trick. I’ve got even more errors. I even couldn’t debug my workflow.

And as you can see, it’s all run by ReportingServicesService.exe instead of SharePoint 2010. So we’re running in an NotYetSupportedException from Reporting Services instead of SharePoint 2010. Well there is some work to do for Microsoft.

Today I was doing some tasks on SQL Server 2005 with SP2. I had some problems with adding jobs and getting the following error message:

Unable to cast object of type ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.SimpleObjectKey’ to type ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.JobObjectKey’.

The issue was using client tools without SP2. You can’t add jobs to a SQL Server 2005 with SP2 with SQL Server 2005 RTM Client Tools.
