Potential Data Corruption Issue – KB 946676

By on December 22, 2007 in Windows Home Server

Overnight (here in the UK) the Windows Home Server team posted on their blog about a potential data corruption issue that WHS users have experienced when using the following products to save files to Windows Home Server:

  • Windows Vista Photo Gallery
  • Windows Live Photo Gallery
  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2003
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
  • Microsoft Money 2007
  • SyncToy 2.0 Beta
  • Various Bittorrent applications
  • Intuit Quicken
  • QuickBooks

Knowledge Base article KB946676 explains the issue in a little more detail. I’ll just amplify the advice given on the WHS blog – the team are working over the holidays on a fix, and until then, either have a remote/physical back up of these files available or do not use these application with WHS at the moment.

Not a nice way to end the year – let’s hope it’s fixed asap.
