KB 896861 and "Microsoft Fix it"

  • Artikel

A couple of days ago, I rebuilt one of my development VMs for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. As I've noted in a previous post, I've found that I need to apply one of the registry hacks described in the following KnowledgeBase article:

You receive error 401.1 when you browse a Web site that uses Integrated Authentication and is hosted on IIS 5.1 or a later version

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

When I browsed to KB 896861 this week, I noticed that it has been updated since the last time I saw it. Apparently, this has become such a common issue that Microsoft now provides an automated way to fix the issue:

Fix this problem
Microsoft Fix it 50306

This was the first time I've seen a reference to Microsoft Fix it, and I have to say that I like it -- and for more than just the cute moniker and button image, too!

    Unfortunately, the Fix It option for this KB article is only available for Windows Server 2008 and does not run on Windows Server 2008 R2... I wonder why this is the case.
