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! 

Cheers,

Jon.......

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?

Jon.......
