I've used the Creating Bootable Virtual Hard Disks tutorial with the "To apply a Windows image to a VHD by using the Install-WindowsImage.ps1 script" option which gave me my .vhd in less then 15 minutes without even leaving windows :D

Just had to run a "bcdboot V:\Windows" to add the entry

Format is: server certificate, client certificate

1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 - id_kp_serverAuth
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2 - id_kp_clientAuth
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 - id_kp_codeSigning
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4 - id_kp_emailProtection
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.5 - id-kp-ipsecEndSystem
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.6 - id-kp-ipsecTunnel
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.7 - id-kp-ipsecUser
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.8 - id_kp_timeStamping
1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.9 - OCSPSigning

1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.

Problem: Special options must be specified with makecert.exe, to create a self-signed certificate that can be used with .NET.

Solution: The following command can be used to create and import a self-signed SSL test certificate: makecert -r -pe -n "CN=www.yourserver.com" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2036 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12

Description

The endpoint not being active can also manifest as The HTTP service located at http://localhost/StreamInsight/Default is too busy. -------------------
The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.

If you follow the steps to diagnose and resolve this issue at:

but, if that does not help, and if you have IIS7 installed, change port number of your binding to 8080 so that it does not conflict with IIS security.

 I’ve researched on the topic of SOAP header support in WCF and it seems that there are two primary ways for interaction with headers:

1.     Message contract definition:

WCF message contracts this also easily allows you to define and set WCF SOAP headers.

[MessageContract]
public class BankingTransaction
{
  [MessageHeader]
  public Operation operation;
  [MessageHeader] 
  public DateTime transactionDate;
  [MessageBodyMember] 
  private Account sourceAccount;
  [MessageBodyMember] 
  private Account targetAccount;
  [MessageBodyMember] 
  public int amount;
}

Here, the "operation" and the "transactionDate" are defined as SOAP headers.

2.     Inspecting headers via WCF Behaviors.
The client side IClientMessageInspector defines two methods BeforeSendRequest and AfterReceiveReply
while the server side IDispatchMessageInspector has the opposite methods, i.e. AfterReceiveRequest and BeforeSendReply.

With this, you could add headers to every message going across the wire (or selectively only to a few).

Here's a snippet from a IClientMessageInspector implementor:

public object BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
    …
    request.Headers.Add(header);

    return null;
}

            There is a library on Codeplex WCF Extras it's an easy extension library for WCF which offers custom SOAP headers.

If clients are on .NET 2.0 and not using WCF this should still work just fine. Wecould still use the message inspector on the server side to sniff and extract the custom headers being sent by your .NET 2.0 clients. More details are here: Custom SOAP Headers: WCF and SMX.
