SSIS Expression to convert US date to ISO Date mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd

I developed the following SSIS expression to convert a US date to an Australian date.

(DT_DATE)(TOKEN(datestart,"/",3) + "-" + TOKEN(datestart,"/",1) + "-" + TOKEN(datestart,"/",2))

Uses SSIS's token function as opposed to substring's etc... I've found token to be more reliable and better suited to this outcome.

Fixing a https Cert in Windows

I renewed a https cert today in Windows and had problems with the new Cert sticking in Windows It would add fine, without error, but would disappear when the IIS Server Certificates screen would refresh. Open the Certificates in MMC (Local Machine) and inspecting the Web Hosting gave a clue, the new certificate was there, but with a key - the private key was missing.

Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?

Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability) Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ; Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.

The web.config no extension mime problem Lets Encrypt on IIS/Windows

Tip when using LetsEncrypt in Windows - Feature Requests - Let's Encrypt Community Support In a paragraph, just use the web.config file to set the mime type, eg... After trying to figure out why my Lets Encrypt failed to generate in Windows, and discovering that it's the no extension mime type problem, I wondered whether certbot could fill in the missing gap. All that is needed is the following web.config file to be placed in the same directory as the challenge <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/xml" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration> Because there's no mime type for files without an extension on IIS, IIS sends back a 404 when verification happens. The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
