Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you.   An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit.

It starts out with an agent error of Error 217.  The text of the error is "Error creating product object"

You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum.

You can find the solution here as well.

I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this.   It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes.  It would have help me greatly.

    Try Lotus Connectors, and you'll never go back to ODBC.

    Like comparing a 1985 Ford Escort (ODBC) to a 2010 BMW M5 (Lotus Connectors). They both transport things right?

    Thanks for the heads up. I have just started a pilot migration to Domino 8.5.1 FP3 64bit and we do use ODBC in a couple of applications. I think they'll have to get re-written to use OLEDB because I don't want to have to reinstall the server with the 32bit version.

    By the way the default install of Windows 2008 R2 server 64bit includes the 64bit OLEDB drivers. I was able to connect using the Lotus Connectors with the oledb connection without any other install of a MS SQL client.

Policies and Controls are King in the IT Security world

I came across an article by Roger Grimes over at Infoworld on how security policies and controls are the real power when it comes to IT security. Roger mentions the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defence , which are a great read for anyone looking at updating or auditing your policies for completeness. The SANS top 20 controls are a must for any organization: Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software on Laptops, Workstations, and Servers Secure Configurations for Network Devices such as Firewalls, Routers, and Switches Boundary Defense Maintenance, Monitoring, and Analysis of Security Audit Logs Application Software Security Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges Controlled Access Based on the Need to Know Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation Account Monitoring and Control Malware Defenses Limitation and Control

Fun Little Earthquake

It's 1:45pm EST in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We just had an earthquake.  Not strong enough to damage anything, but enough that I watched people run out of buildings. What a fun Wednesday.
