Recently in Hotfixes Category

It's been a very long weekend. I've been trying to do a migration from nt4 and exchange 5.5 up to Windows 2003 64bit, Active Directory and Exchange2007 and although I succeeded there have been several large hiccups along the way. More details in the extended entry as it will get technical!

If you have outlook and try to print an email and the font is incredibly small, then you will need the hotfix from kb932538 referenced in the article on Sandy's page. I would link to the Microsoft site but the knowledge base article is not published which explains why you can't find any details on this problem when you search in technet (sigh).
I'll be requesting this one for my customers on Monday morning as I have at least two desktops that are having this problem. The interim solution is to hit reply or forward and then print the email.
Update I installed this patch on a customer site this morning and it approximately doubles the size of the font so the printout is now just about readable - still nowhere near the size of the printout if I hit forward (or reply) and then hit print. I'm not sure how to go about sending feedback to Microsoft that this doesn't solve the problem.

Folder redirection hotfix

|

I knew there was a problem with using folder redirection and customizing internet explorer via group policy but I didn't realise there was a hotfix available for it (it's been around for quite some time looking at the date of the hotfix)

Yet another hotfix requested

| | Comments (1)

In the 2 months I've been working I've had to request 3 different hotfixes which is pretty amazing seeing as though I think I've only ever requested 2 in the past 10 years!
The latest is to fix a patch where you can't set folder redirection and customize the Internet Explorer settings via group policy on an xpsp2 machine. If you try, then you get the message "The Group Policy client-side extension Internet Explorer Branding failed to log RSOP (Resultant Set of Policy) data. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension." (event id 1091)
The hotfix is documented in kb article 888254 and I'm waiting for Microsoft to pick up the phone so I can request the hotfix.
Eventually the phone was picked up and I spent 10 minutes painfully talking to someone who actually sounded just like one of those automated phone systems. All the accents were on the wrong syllables and it was just painful. Still I've got the hotfix.
