  • Improved support for locked folders by controlling access to them in a "Macintosh-like" manner. Windows does not by default restrict access to folders marked as read-only, so ExtremeZ-IP modifies the folder's Access Control List (ACL) to perform the lock.
  • Fixed a problem where files and folders could fail to be returned in search results. If a user that did not have access to the file or folder performed a search that included that file/folder in the results, ExtremeZ-IP would incorrectly remove that file/folder from all later search results, even for users that did have access to that file/folder.
  • Directory Services lookups are now performed against the global catalog rather than a single domain by default. This resolves problems with complex domain structures: for example, long name logins for users who accounts are stored in non-default OUs.
  • Fixed a problem where files with extended attributes could fail to be copied from ExtremeZ-IP to a Tiger (10.4.11) client.
  • Fixed a problem where files compressed on an ExtremeZ-IP volume would incorrectly appear as UNIX executables in the Finder.
  • Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator would fail to save the setting "Allow workstation to save password".

  • The ExtremeZ-IP Administrator will now present a "Check for Updates" button on the main window when running a release version of ExtremeZ-IP.
  • The ExtremeZ-IP service will now honor the "IPAddress" registry setting on a clustered server. This allows a particular service to listen on some, but not all, IP addresses in a given cluster group.
  • The EZIPUTIL command-line utility now contains a command to edit an existing ExtremeZ-IP volume. Run "EZIPUTIL VOLUME" from the command-line for details.
  • The EZIPUTIL command-line utility now lists all volume properties when performing a "VOLUME LIST" command.
  • The EZIPUTIL command-line utility now contains a command that tells the ExtremeZ-IP service to refresh its registry settings.
  • Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP could fail to start if Directory Services had been enabled and the network containing the ExtremeZ-IP server contained a trust with a NetBIOS name but not a fully qualified domain name.
  • Fixed a problem where files and folders copied between ExtremeZ-IP volumes from OS 9 could fail to be displayed by the Finder in the destination volume.
  • Fixed a problem where sessions listed as "Waiting for Reconnect" in the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator could fail to be automatically disconnected after the configured timeout (default 5 minutes).
  • Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP would fail to support extended attributes whose names contained characters illegal in Windows filenames (e.g. colon, question mark and backslash).
  • Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP would incorrectly operate in a case sensitive manner in its support of Apple's "special" extended attributes: com.apple.ResourceFork and com.apple.FinderInfo.
  • Fixed a problem where Microsoft Office 2008 SP1 for Mac could fail to open documents when those documents were double-clicked in the Finder.
  • Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP would fail to find user information in Active Directory if the credentials entered in the Directory Services area of the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator contained an incomplete domain (e.g. "example" instead of "example.com").
  • Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator would warn the user about "invalid Directory Services credentials" even when credentials had not been entered.
  • Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP File Server fails to start if the system's perflib counters could not be found.
  • Fixed a problem where ExtremeZ-IP would report an incorrect number of offline volumes through its performance counters.
  • Fixed a problem where the ExtremeZ-IP File Server could hang after a file system delay. This could occur if ExtremeZ-IP's thread pool manager mistakenly reduced the size of the thread pool to zero, leaving no threads available to satisfy client requests.

  • ExtremeZ-IP now saves column widths in dialogs within the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator. These column widths are restored each time the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator is launched.
  • Fixed a potential crash that could occur after saving files in applications such as Microsoft Excel. This issue was most likely to occur if the user saving the file did not have the "Take Ownership" permission in the folder containing the data file.
  • Fixed a problem where applications such as Microsoft Word could fail to save changes to an existing file due to permissions problems. This issue was most likely to occur if the user saving the file was not the file's owner.
  • Fixed a problem where files and folders within a volume could become inaccessible to users logging in to ExtremeZ-IP with the guest account. This could appear to cause the user to be disconnected.
  • Fixed a problem where two sessions from the same client machine - one logged in with the display name (e.g. "John Doe") and one using the username (e.g. "johndoe") - would incorrectly use two user licenses rather than one.
  • The ExtremeZ-IP Administrator will now display all user names in the Users dialog as "domain\username" or "computer\username", even if the user logs in using their display name (e.g. "John Doe" rather than "johndoe").
  • Fixed a problem where guest users would see the incorrect list of volumes if Windows' "Guest Account Status" feature was enabled.
  • Fixed a problem where guest users would appear with the wrong username in the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator if Windows' "Guest Account Status" feature was enabled.
  • Fixed a problem in the ExtremeZ-IP installer where the installer would incorrectly process the serial number in a case sensitive manner. For example, if the entered serial number began with 'z' rather than 'Z', the installer would reject that serial number.
  • Fixed a problem where the Macintosh command-line "xattr" program would fail to list the extended attributes on a file located within an ExtremeZ-IP volume.
  • ExtremeZ-IP now properly sorts numerical columns in the Print Processing Log of the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator. Previously, ExtremeZ-IP would sort those columns alphabetically, resulting in a sort order such as "1, 29, 3, 444, 5".
  • Fixed a problem in the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator's "Type and Creator" dialog where new extensions could not be associated with the "text/dosa" type and creator.
