A client is upgrading from Microsoft SQL Server Version 2000 to Microsoft SQL Server Version 2008
R2. Any known issues with people accessing the server and playing published Articulate presentations from the server?
Well, Microsoft SQL Server is a database server, so it's most likely not going to be the server delivering your client's Articulate content. If they're using SQL Server as the database server, then they probably also have a Windows IIS server delivering the web content. The published Articulate content would likely reside on the web server, not on the database server. Is that correct?
If so, the only thing to look out for is if you're using any .FLV Flash videos in your Articulate content. If so, you may need to configure the IIS server to support the .FLV MIME type, as it's not configured by default on IIS:
So far so good. They are going to start testing their delivery system (menu or viewer program, adobe flash install, and all the content on a cd). will keep you posted.

There shouldn't be any issues with Articulate created content.
Ok great - thanks.
Hi Justin, in some of your threads, your answers are being double posted?
They should only show twice if it's a verified answer. Those get pushed to the top of the thread so they are easier to find for other folks.

FLV movies require FLV MIME type on server to play properly
Wow, thanks Gabe - that is some good feedback. I'll let them know.

Great! Glad to hear it, David. Thanks for the update.
