Sorry I should probably mention these are Citrix Servers, XA5.0 Windows 2003 Sp2 also running Novell 4.91 SP5 From: scanjam@xxxxxxxxxxx To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Help! Office Macro fails on fresh built servers . . Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:58:31 +1000 List Legends! Im now stumped. These servers we have built with MDT have been working fine for the past month or so Then some obscure bunch of users with an even more obscure excel file coupled with some stupid macros are now not working. I have replaced the office VB6dlls entirely (from a working server), installed VB6SP2, replaced all the VB macro reference dll's. Run Procmon to interrogate excel to see what its trying to access... but when the file is loaded and macros enabled you know it isnt working as the file save process takes over 3 or 4 minutes and then fails with "document not saved" and then opening VB Editor to run a compile or to check references ends with "error loading DLL" . . and NOTHING logged in procmon. It happens for me as administrator on any of the broken servers, so im assuming its not rights. Macro security is set to Medium, but its the same level on servers that are working. I have no doubt an office reinstall would fix this, but i am trying to address the root cause so I can apply this to the build, (not have all servers build themselves, then repair themselves as part of the process before they are even working) :-) Please, please, please any suggestions would be so fabulous right about now... :-) James Check the daily blob for the latest on what's happening around the web What goes online, stays online _________________________________________________________________ What goes online, stays online Check the daily blob for the latest on what's happening around the web http://windowslive.ninemsn.com.au/blog.aspx
