[THIN] New Server Farm - Few issues :)

Greetings List,

 

My company is in the process of migrating from CPS4.0 & Office 2003 to CPS4.5 & Office 2007 – with all included complexities and migration headaches at no extra charge J

A couple of silly issues wont go away and I’m just wondering if anyone who reads this may have come across them before:-

 

·         Outlook Searching differs greatly from 2003 to 2007 – i.e. it doesn’t work very well. WDS apparently is not an option as there are potential performance problems running it on terminal services (Source & Source) Anyone got this working flawlessly without WDS? As my search results seem to be a little, erm, sporadic.

·         IE7 & Outlook. Sometimes, with IE7 in tabbed browsing mode, already open, and a user clicks on a hyperlink from within an email in Outlook 2007, nothing happens. Well, an iexplore process is spawned – several as the user clicks repeatedly! – but no new tab is created. This ultimately results in a helpdesk call and a lot of extra memory resources consumed (no AppSense installed or similar). Any google searching on this seem to point to viruses only...

·         Microsoft Access dBASE 12.0 driver – causing us problems with Access 2003 databases.. Is there any way of modifying the default data link properties of this driver? (i.e the 4 tabs – Provider, Connection, Advanced & All)

 

If your still reading, thanks!

 

Jaime.
