Matt,

Great write-up. I do have one question that has been a point of pain for us related to development environments though: data synchronization.

Have you had to deal with actually migrating live data into development environments? Is there a 'fast' way to do this and make the development environment more closely match a production environment?

If anyone has any tips, I'd love to know.

Thanks

The registry location for the solution for the "path is not of a legal form" error does not work for a server that was installed with x64. The product key (Guid starting with 059D...) does not exist. Adding the key does not resolve the problem.
