Hi Ron, I thought as much, just a bit peeved really. Support contracts are a no no here! We did it all in an evening, put a lot of effort in only to be told we have to pay for something that they have cocked up!

This is right. If you don't have a support agreement of type its pay as go basically. Now for issues that there are supposed to be hotfixes for it becomes a bit sticky. But this is not uncommon.

Hi all, Bit of a naive question really but here goes! We have just rolled out Server 2003 Terminal Services on a server and have come across an issue that Microsoft have released a hotfix for (Q833890 if interested). The hotfix didn't work so having spoken to Microsoft they tried to charge me nearly £200 for "technical support". I've never had any dealings with Microsoft until now and I find this utterly unbelievable. Is this right or am I just being naive? I've just purchased out of the box software which has caused me an issue and they are trying to charge me to fix it! Any comments?
