• Welcome to 64-bit hell

  I just spent a few hours trying to figure out an issue on a project I started a while back to automate the SQL replication setup for any servers we add to our environment.

  After a bit of searching I have found Ken Robertson's plugin to change Community Server from a multiple blog installation, to a single blog installation.
