That depends, usually using the first name also means something which
English doesn't have, so hard to explain, a closer relation.

 

The first name usage doesn't usually happen until either the older or the
higher one (higher wins) proposes it.

Otherwise people always use "Mr./Mrs" last/surname.

Thanks for the replies, 

 

In German-speaking countries, they always use the surname first, terribly
polite but quite confusing when you have a first name as a surname. So
please call me Andy. J

 

The calls are pretty small, using e.g. collection membership lookups,
add/remove to collection or add new computer to sccm and the most seem to
run ok. The one I had a problem with was a method that looked up all coll
memberships for a computer and had no built in timeout handling. When more
requests ran concurrently then the timeout of the query exceeded the default
timeout of the asp/http. We have now built in a custom timeout in the method
so that we can handle this.

 

All the web methods call sdk methods.

All virtual servers.

Server generally runs well and I don't see any performance issues.

I'd said we will have a few thousand web service calls per day.

 

I am mitigating this perceived risk, by making sure web services run on a
custom website and not the default website. I don't really want to have a
separate server for everything. I have tested moving the webservices to
another server and that works ok but then I need to run the apppool as a
service account with admin rights on the remote smsprov. And I don't encrypt
any data between webservice and smsprov as it was local hosted. 

 

My impression is that using a dedicated server is heavy handed. Your answers
are really helpful to formulate my concept and risk docs.  

 

Thanks

Andy

Craig,

 

It depends on exactly what code is running inside of each of the web service
calls. Consider these questions:

 

.         What functionality did you expose via the web service?

.         Are they long-running operations? Short-running operations?

.         What services does the web service method rely upon?

o   Which services hosted locally vs. remotely?

.         What kind of hardware does the server have?

.         How heavy is the current load on the server without the web
service?

.         How many web service calls are being created per second?

 

Cheers,

Trevor Sullivan

Hi All,

 

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with some good practises for web
services that supplement configMgr. 

I am using web service functions more and more especially in OSD. Main
points are whether it is sensible to use a separate dedicated server for
this to avoid having too much http traffic on the smsprov server or if
having it co-hosted impacts the performance either positively, negatively or
not at all. I'm working just now on a site with around 10,000 Clients,
deploying about 100 OS per day in rollout phase. (ConfigMgr 2012 SP1)

 

Any thoughts very welcome

 

Andy
