Microsoft Issues Warning On Home Server - Software - IT Channel News by CRN and VARBusiness

Microsoft Issues Warning On Home Server - Software - IT Channel News by CRN and VARBusiness:

"In December Microsoft warned customers and partners that using certain applications to save files to Home Server could result in their files being corrupted. At that time, Microsoft said it the glitch affected Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Office OneNote 2007, Office OneNote 2003, Office Outlook 2007, Money 2007, and SyncToy 2.0 Beta.

In an updated Knowledge Base article posted Thursday, Microsoft revealed that 14 additional applications could trigger the bug, including its own Excel, Windows Media Player 11, and Zune Software, as well as Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Lightroom, Apple iTunes, Mozilla Thunderbird, and WinAmp.

In the article, Microsoft said it's still trying to confirm that these apps trigger the glitch, and noted that the issue only affects Windows Home Server systems with more than one hard drive added to the server. However, until an update is available, Microsoft is recommending that users refrain from using these applications to save or to edit program-specific files that are stored on a Windows Home Server-based system."
