Hi Guys
We have two sites now that have recently converted to ESXi 5.0. Everything appears to be running sweet as apart from one annoying intermittent niggle. When the users go to save or print a Microsoft Word 2007 file they will occasionally be greeted with this very un-user friendly message

Before we cut over the user was using the same version of Office 2007 and the same Windows 7 PC’s. They were networked via a physical SBS2003 domain. And they never experienced this issue….
Now they are networked via a virtualized SBS2011 domain hosted by ESXi5.0.
So I guess two major things have changed. Virtualization and different server software.
Interestingly we have several other similar setups but the users are on Office 2010 and they have never reported this issue. They run the same server SBS2011 software hosted on ESXi 5.0.
I’m guessing a Office 2007 incompatibility glitch with ESXi 5.0….?
Anyone else struck this one…?
Cheers
Mike
