Wow.. Just read a chunk of this thread and am a bit overwhelmed.. Can somebody point out the definitive info for me trying to get my Dell Poweredge R510 SLIC happy? I have installed Server 2008 R2 on it in a on production environment. Thanks!
The problem definitively is caused by one or several of the 'security features' in NT 6.1 (Windows 7 / Server 2008R2). As I'm not interested in a religious debate I'm just listing what works for me on my servers and workstations (trying to turn the OS from a censor into a service provider for applications like it was in the old days): 1) UAC completely disabled 2) 'Administrator' account enabled & password protected 3) IE 'enhanced security' disabled 4) gpedit.msc: User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Attachment Manager / 'Do not preserve zone information in file attachments' = enabled (gets rid of blocked executables because 'from potentially unsafe' sources, files already tainted 'unsafe' need to be backup'ed/restored to/from a FAT32 medium to become clean again, ADS removers don't work as this 'unsafe' label is undocumented and hidden & -furthermore - the OS often does not report the 'blockade') 5) MS 'Defender' disabled Okay, sorry, I get carried away a bit. So: [1] and [4] may be at the root of your problem, elevated rights for executables ('run as administrator') of course may have to be applied also - even if you are a user with administrative rights (which I strongly suggest). Additional comment: To make the GUI usable I run 'Classical Shell' on all our systems. Hope that helps
