ExtremeZ-IP 5.0.2x11 (released 7/10/2007) - Download Now - [ZIP - 13.6 MB]
- Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP could crash at startup after an upgrade from ExtremeZ-IP 3.2.2 or earlier.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when placing information about performance statistics into the ExtremeZ-IP debug log.
- Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP could not startup after an upgrade because its performance counter DLL was still in use.
- Fixed a problem where messages about ExtremeZ-IP running in trial mode continued to be sent to clients after a serial number was entered in the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator.
- Fixed a problem where enabling the (optional) "CreatePrecomposedMacRoman" registry setting could cause problems copying files via the Finder.
- Improved handling of print jobs that do not succesfully print. Failed jobs can no longer take the entire queue offline. These failed jobs will be automatically retried at a configurable interval, and optionally deleted after a certain amount of time. For more details, see the related knowledge base article: Print queue and print job error handling improvements in ExtremeZ-IP 5.0.2
ExtremeZ-IP 5.0.2x08 (released 5/21/2007)
- Fixed a problem where the license count could exceed the number of active users, preventing new users from logging in.
- Fixed a problem where the "Disconnect Waiting" button in the Users window of the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator would fail to disconnect users that were waiting for reconnect.
- Fixed a problem where the Finder could fail to show the correct number of items in a folder. This could occur if files were added or removed from the folder while a user without permission to view that folder was enumerating the parent folder.
- Fixed a problem where users could not login to the server with DHX encryption if their passwords contained characters that are illegal in Windows filenames (* < > " / | \ ?).
- Fixed a problem where Mac users could get disconnected when reading or writing files to the server when the network was under load but the thread pool was shrinking.
- Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP could fail to display files and folders containing the Ohm symbol (Ω - unicode character U+2126).
- * Fixed a problem where users could fail to login via Kerberos if their Kerberos ticket was large (e.g. 4000 bytes).
- Added additional logging information to alert administrators if the ExtremeZ-IP service cannot start after an upgrade.
- Fixed a problem where sessions waiting for reconnect would not be automatically disconnected if the user reconnected but used a username with a different case than with the original session (e.g. "Bob" and "bob").
- Fixed a problem where the "jobs offline" counter of a print queue could become invalid if jobs were automatically deleted after being offline for too long.
ExtremeZ-IP 5.0.1x15 (released 4/17/2007) - Download Now - [ZIP - 13.6 MB]
- Added capability for volumes to be configured so that moved files and folders inherit permissions from their new parent folders, rather than retaining their previous permissions.
- Added code to place a warning in the Windows Event Log if Kerberos clients fail to authenticate because the server time differs from the time on the domain controller.
- Fixed problem where applications such as Photoshop, InDesign and Quark could give errors when saving to an existing file.
- Fixed problem where server could become unresponsive and connected clients could disconnect, requiring a restart of the service. This issue was present in ExtremeZ-IP 5.0 only.
- Fixed problem where ExtremeZ-IP would fail to fully enumerate the contents of a folder, causing files and folders to be invisible to the Finder or other applications.
- Fixed problem where idle OS 9 clients could be disconnected from the server. This issue was present in ExtremeZ-IP 5.0 only.
- Fixed problem where ExtremeZ-IP would return the wrong error code when a client attempted to perform a byte-range lock on a section of a file that already contained a byte-range lock from that client.
- Fixed problem where ExtremeZ-IP Server name would not match the Network Name dependency on a cluster, but would have "IP" appended to it.
- Fixed problem where selecting an existing extension in the Type and Creator window of the Administrator would fail to cause the corresponding type/creator to become selected.
- Fixed problem where a "ghosted" session could be left in "Waiting For Reconnect" state after a client reconnected to the server. This issue was present in ExtremeZ-IP 5.0 only.
- Fixed problem certain files could fail to have their Finder information migrated from their corresponding dot underscore files. This issue was present in ExtremeZ-IP 5.0 only.
- Changed behavior so that modifications to .DS_Store files do not cause the volume's modification time to be updated.
- Added code to gracefully handle situation when client asks for deprecated "launch limit" parameter.
- Fixed problem where clients could fail to mount a volume containing an 8-character volume password.
- Fixed problem where the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator would fail to refresh the display of the number of locks for an opened file in the Files Window.
