  Known Issues

  • Uploaded documents or files that were created by using the 2007 Microsoft Office system to a Windows Server 2000 or 2003 Web Server are not indexed.  This issue occurs because the 2007 Office iFilters are not included in Windows Server 2000 or 2003. The following 2007 Office file formats are not indexed by Windows Server 2000 or 2003: .docx, .docm, .pptx, .pptm, .xlsx, .xlsm.  Please visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944445 for Microsoft's recommended workaround.
  • When creating a report,if you create a filter using the "Is Not" operator, the report does not return records where the filtered field is null.
  • PC Inventory still won't pickup Vista workstations after upgrade. This occurs because the pc_inventory directory in the Novo root directory is overwritten. Please see the Upgrade PC Inventory article.
  •  A new install does not have the required pc_inventory/current/Getsysinfo.vbs file mentioned in the PC Inventory Scripting article  in the Novo root directory. This occurs because the pc_inventory directory in the NovoRoot/app folder needs to be copied to up to the Novo root directory overwriting the pc_inventory directory that installs by default. Please see the Upgrade PC Inventory article.
  • Email bounce back or dropped from "admin@email.com". This occurs because the scheduler account created with the upgrade has a default email address of admin@email.com. As a temporary workaround, edit the value listed for the scheduler account in the USERS table.
