Office Communicator 2007 hangs on shutdown/logoff - FIXED!

  • Artículo

 

SOLVED!

 

 

Customers running Office Communicator 2007 + Office 2007:

 

This issue is fixed by applying the hotfix referenced in KB 961752 (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/961752), and although the KB article does not specifcally call out this issue, we are working on both creating a new KB to address this, as well posting this blog entry to increase its visibility.

 

 

Customers running Office Communicator 2007 + Office 2003:

 

Our Office Development Team is moving forward with creating corresponding official hotfix for Office 2003. Although it’s a bit early to discuss timeframes in terms of when you can expect the public hotfix, we have a private copy of the fixed MSMAPI32.DLL. If you would like to test this build, please engage Microsoft Customer Support Services via https://support.microsoft.com. Premier customers: please leverage your Technical Account Manager to initiate the case creation process.

    All of my other customers running this fix beg to differ.  If this is still unresolved after applying the hotfix, and you're unable to troubleshoot this issue further, I recommend engaging Microsoft Customer Support Services to lend a hand. Scott Oseychik p.s. was the "booooo" really necessary?

    Trying to engage support regarding testing the Outlook 2003 is proving somewhat of a challenge. I keep getting bounced to different departments and caller menus. We have a user base of 8000 affected users, so we are very keen to test out the fix. Is there a specific route I can take through support to reach the relevant group?

    Sorry you're having a difficult time engaging the proper Customer Support group.  The good news is that this fix is included in April Cumulative Update (both for Office 2007 and Office 2003), which is scheduled to release April 28th.  However, if you're in immediate need, and would like to validate a private build, please contact me directly using the contact form on the blog. Hope this helps, Scott Oseychik

    We're an Outlook 2007 site and continue to have this problem. When applying this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970944/ we get a pop up that says: "The update is already installed on the system." We have two classes of users - those that regularly get this message and those who do not. There's speculation that those that get it just shutdown without closing applications but this hasn't been proven. Does anyone else continue to experience this issue?

    Hi Max, The fix that is contained in 961752 is also included in Outlook 2010.  If you're still able to reproduce this issue with Outlook 2010, I recommend engaging Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS), and having this issue routed to the Unified Communications team. Regards, Scott Oseychik
