Re: IE7 on SBS - WSUS Heads Up !

BTW, Admins using WSUS to deploy IE7 might want to temporarily block further
IE7 updates. It seems a recent update in the IE7 update is causing update
failures with a pop message in Spanish even though it is not for that
language.

Obviously this is just a temporary issue, but with a long holiday weekend
observed in the States coming up, you might not want to have to deal with
this for the next couple of days. Likely Susan will jump in with "all clear"
or details when they are known.

And the IE 7 discussion continues!!! Again....it is great to hear
everyone's view point regarding Microsoft's new browser. Although we have
strayed a bit from the original post about installing it on SBS there are
many things to consider before installing the browser.

When I left my first post I had not had any issues with IE7 and how it
operated. Tonight I discovered that there is a certain part of a secure
web site that I am not able to access. It is a local banking web that
hosts their banking data on one domain name and their monthly electronic
statements on another domain. When clicking to view your electronic
statement it will load part of the page (such as menus and header of the
page) but the area where the electronic statements are to show the
message appears (Internet Explorer cannot display this page). Netscape
won't display it at that same point either but Firefox will and IE6 will
as well. I have contacted the bank to see if they are aware if this so
we'll see what they have to say hopefully tomorrow!!

A third option is to install Firefox together with the brilliant "IE
Tab"
extension. This enables you to use Firefox but quickly change rendering
engine when you encounter a non-standard web page. That's how I'm
writing
this at the moment, which is probly why thur's lods of speling mistukes.

I do use FF on my workstation with IE Tab extension. My only concern is
when accessing a SSL site (like RWW) and I double click the little lock
icon in the status bar, a dialog box pops up that has the security tab
chosen and this message:

Connection Not Encrypted

The web site ietab does not support encryption for the page you are
viewing.
Information sent over the Internet without encryption can be seen by
other people while it is in transit.

For this reason I keep a copy of IE on my laptop, so when I am out of the
office and connecting back for work I know (hope) it is encrypted. Other
than that I find FF far superior to IE7 or 6 . . .

As a preference I'd install Firefox, which is a superior browser in all
ways:
the new spellchecker on webforms is a killer. Of course, that breaks
all the
non-standard Sharepoint stuff in Companyweb. Given that, the security
improvements and phish filter in IE7 imo make it far preferable to IE6
and
no, I haven't had any problems with IE7.

I was wondering what the majority of everyone is doing.
Are you installing IE7 on your Small Business Server with Windows
Updates?

I am trying it out on my server (even though I very rarely use IE from
my
server nor my clients) and so far I haven't seen any issues. I always
try
updates on my own SBS before any of my clients. :-)
