ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.5x02 (released 4/17/2007) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Fixed a problem where connecting a 4.2.X Administrator to a 5.0 and later server would cause the Administrator to lock up. While a 4.2.X should not be able to administer a 5.0 and later server, it should fail gracefully
  • Fixed a problem where printing jobs with titles containing backslashes could cause the print server to hang.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.4x03 (released 10/20/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP could return the wrong resource or data fork size for an open file. This could cause file corruption or other application problems.
  • Fixed a potential crash in home directory support. The crash could occur if a client machine attempted to access another user's home directory.
  • Fixed an issue where ExtremeZ-IP could fail to release a file handle to a folder after a failed rename or move operation. This could cause the folder to not be fully removed from the file system after a deletion request from the client.
  • Enabled ServerCombinesLPRPackets feature by default.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.3x05 (released 8/16/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Fixed a problem where the system statistics that are output every minute stopped being output.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.3x04 (released 6/29/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Added ServerIgnoresReadOnlyFolders registry key. If enabled, the server will not display any folders as locked, even if they are marked "read-only" in Windows.
  • Added ServerLogsPerformanceStats registry key. If disabled, the server will not attempt to load the performance data helper DLL and will not output performance stats into the log. This key addresses a problem where ExtremeZ-IP can hang at startup trying to load that DLL.
  • Fixed a problem where files could fail to show up in indexed searches after being saved in applications such as Microsoft Word.
  • Fixed a problem PictroMatch would fail to delete files from a watched folder within an ExtremeZ-IP volume. This problem was to do a bug in the support for the AFP Move command.
  • Added ServerCombinesLPRPackets registry key to fix a problems where jobs would fail to spool to certain LPR printers.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.2x09 (released 4/18/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Added a dialog that warns administrators about the risks of sharing out the root of a drive.
  • Added a workaround for a problem where files saved in Adobe Photoshop CS2 would cause Photoshop to crash when running on OS 10.4.6. This crash is a result of OS 10.4.6s support for file comments greater than 128 characters and Photoshop CS2s lack of support for these long comments. To activate this workaround, enable the "ServerTruncatesOS9Comments" registry key. This will cause all files with long comments that are written to an ExtremeZ-IP network volume to have their file comments truncated to 128 characters. See the help file for more details.
  • Fixed a problem where sleeping sessions would take 30 seconds to be disconnected from the Administrator.
  • Fixed a problem where search index files from different volumes could collide if stored in the same folder.
  • Fixed a problem where search indexing would not initialize properly on a volume that had previously failed to come online.
  • Fixed a problem where the service could crash while reindexing a volume's search index.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.2x04 (released 3/15/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Made the "SleepInterval" registry key refreshable.
  • Automatically deletes the "Temporary Items" and ".TemporaryItems" when a volume is suspended or removed or when the service is shut down.
  • Improved performance of opening the Log window of the Administrator.
  • Fixed a problem where inaccessible files and/or folders could be displayed on the client machine even if the server was configured to hide inaccessible files or folders.
  • Fixed a problem where the number of open forks listed in the main windows of the Administrator would sometimes not match the number of forks listed in the Administrator's Files window.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2.1x03 (released 2/27/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • When uploading a file with a blank creation date (Jan 1, 1970), the creation date will be set to match the modification date. Files transferred from a USB drive (FAT) to a Macintosh may not have creation dates.
  • Fixed a problem where Library Pro databases could not be reindexed when the database file was on a remote ExtremeZ-IP volume.
  • Fixed a problem where errors relating to "Perflib" would appear in the Windows Event Viewer when users connected to ExtremeZ-IP. This would occur if the users did not have access to the "Perflib" portion of the registry.
  • Fixed a problem where clients could get disconnected after receiving an incorrect error message when attempting to read past the end of a file.
  • Added support for Intel based Macintosh systems.
  • Combined Print and Print Accounting components into a single installer.

ExtremeZ-IP 4.2x34 (released 2/1/2006) - Download Now - [ZIP - 18.4 MB]

  • Added ability to customize volumes as home directories through the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator.
  • Added an optional feature (disabled by default) that allows administrators to prevent users from performing searches that do not contain "name" as one of the criteria. These searches are much slower than "name" searches and can cause ExtremeZ-IP to use a large amount of CPU for the length of the search. Users who attempt to perform non-name searches are sent a warning dialog. See the ExtremeZ-IP Help for more information on this feature.
  • Added support for automatic printer discovery through Bonjour.
  • Fixed a problem where certain files (particularly Microsoft Word documents) could disappear from the Finder.
  • Fixed a problem where the server could suddenly experience high CPU usage and hanging user sessions when performing an indexed search.
  • Fixed a problem where OS 9 clients could fail to create folder names sent in a particular format (with null characters at the beginning and end of the folder name). This problem could cause applications like "4D thin client" to fail.
  • Fixed a problem where files could be corrupted when saving to the server while another user was viewing the same folder. The corruptions could occur in a variety of applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Illustrator.
  • Print Queue names are now case-insensitive. Attempting to create a Print Queue that has the same name as an existing queue, differing only in case, will be rejected with a warning that a queue with that name already exists.
  • Fixed a bug where ExtremeZ-IP would fail to read job names containing accented (e.g. "") and other Unicode characters properly.
