One word:

Why?

There’s a discussion about it at FB. Good time to come jump in the moshpit with us.

The Shape of Things to Come

The first of a key subset of previous posts here at the Funcave have been migrated to the Funboard. The original links & posts will remain in place here at the FC to help direct folks to the new location.

Now that the process has been streamlined, the rest of the posts slated to migrate will follow in short order.

So if you still need to sign up for the Funboard, now would be a good time to do that.

Office Accounting SP1 was more like a total overhaul…

Wow.

As monstrous as Microsoft Office Accounting Service Pack 1 is on its own, it was just the tip of the iceberg last night.

Luckily, we fared far better than Jack & Rose there. The SS Funcave is still afloat & no worse for wear.

By the time the robot horde finished, we’d completed the following:

• Completed the updates on the Funcave server
• Brought the Funcave deployment of WSUS up-to-date
• Deployed all outstanding updates to all Funcave machines

Here’s why this is such a big deal for MOA users…

MOA SP1 is tagged as HIGH-PRIORITY

Now, it’s not an auto-installer, as far as I could tell. But this is tagged high-priority because it fixes some bugs that can cause major data loss. So this is a detailed update, even for standalone implementations.

The download page for MOA SP1, however, doesn’t really imply the seriousness of implementing this update:

To install this download:

Note: Administrators should refer to the Administrator resources section.

1. Download the file by clicking the Download button (above) and saving the file to your hard disk.
2. It is recommended that you quit any programs you are running prior to installation.
3. Double-click the OfficeAccounting2007SP1-KB932726-FullFile-ENU.exe program file on your hard disk to start the Setup program.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

Administrator resources:
If you administrate a client server installation you have to install this service pack on the server and on all the clients.
Administrators working in managed environments can find complete resources for deploying Office updates in an organization on the Microsoft Office Desktop Applications TechCenter Web site. On the home page of that site, look under Update Strategies for the product version you are updating.

Instructions for use:

After you install this download, use your programs as you typically would.

To remove this download:

There is no uninstall feature for this download. You can uninstall Office Accounting 2007 and then re-install Office Accounting from the original source, i.e. CD or downloaded file.

That last item should give you a hint that this is a measure twice, load once kind of update.

But to me…those instrux make it sound like something you could easily knock out on your lunch hour, right?

For a more detailed look at the process, including some key things to decide & some gotchas to watch for during the installation of Office Accounting Service Pack 1, head over & check out the Funboard discussion about MOA SP1.

We can confirm that MOA SP1 finally fixes the BCM data loss issue. So, we’ve got that going for us…

Got logo?

We do…

You know what this means, right?

The official Funboard thong can’t be too far behind…

Cannot connect to Terminal Server through RWW with Vista & IE7

One of my SBS clients yesterday reported difficulty connecting to a Windows 2000 Terminal Server in their environment from their first Windows Vista machine. I connected remotely and received the same error, which was:

The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing protocol.Please try connecting to the remote computer again or contact you server administrator.

There wasn’t much on-point that I could find on this issue, altho for some reason Bitzie’s version of Google seemed to be working much better than mine. Go figure. 

However, what is out there only discusses this issue showing on Windows XP, not Vista.

Well, the robot horde over at the Funlab spared no expense bringing the details and a workaround to the Funboard. If you haven’t stopped by already, sign up and join us if you want to check out the answer. And while you’re there, you can buy the horde a can of 10w30 for all their hard work.
