User receives SMB change notifications from a subfolder that the user does not have permission to access in Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Symptoms:
Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a shared folder on a computer that is running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
  • A user (user A) maps a network drive to the shared folder. Therefore, user A can receive change notifications from the shared folder.
  • Another user (user B) changes a file in a subfolder or adds a file to a subfolder that user A does not have permission to access. The subfolder is in the shared folder.
In this scenario, user A receives Server Message Block (SMB) change notifications from the subfolder.

Notes
  • The expected behavior is that user A does not receive change notifications from the subfolder.
  • Change notifications are sent when any of the following activities occur:
    • A user creates files or folders.
    • A user changes existing files or folders.
    • A user reads the documents that are temporarily written to the shared folder or automatically saved or locked in the shared folder.
Cause:
This issue occurs because the SMB protocol cannot modify change notification requests for each user.

Review and request hotfix:
User receives SMB change notifications from a subfolder that the user does not have permission to access in Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

System crashes during I/O traffic after you install a Host Bus Adapter on a computer that's running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Symptoms:

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that's running Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You install a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that supports concurrent channels on the computer.
  • You start I/O traffic on the HBA.
In this scenario, the system crashes during I/O traffic.

Cause:
This problem occurs for miniports that opt into support for concurrent channels in Storport. In this situation, there's a race condition in which Storport tries to access memory that has already been freed, and this causes the system to crash.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise
  • Windows 7 Professional
  • Windows 7 Ultimate
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

You cannot renew the IP address after the system time synchronizes in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Symptoms:
Consider the following scenario:


  • You have computers in an environment to which the IP addresses are assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
  • You set a lease expiry time on the DHCP server.
  • You deploy Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to one of the computers.
  • After the computer restarts, the system time of the computer is adjusted to an earlier time because of time synchronization.
In this scenario, the computer cannot request a new IP address from the DHCP server after the lease expires. Additionally, the computer reverts to using an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) (169.254.x .x) IP address.

Applies to

  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1, when used with:
    • Windows 7 Enterprise
    • Windows 7 Home Basic

Drive Maps preferences are still displayed in Group Policy RSoP after they are removed or disabled.

Symptoms:
After a Drive Maps preference (Group Policy Preferences) is removed or disabled, and the client then applies those Group Policy Object (GPO) changes, the Drive Maps settings are still shown in Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) reporting.

Cause:
This problem occurs because RSoP data is considered unchanged until there are new Drive Maps preferences to apply to the clients. Therefore, the previous preferences data is not discarded even if the particular Drive Maps setting was changed.

Resolution:

After you apply this update, follow these steps:
  1. Go to the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) window.
  2. Open the Group Policy Object (GPO) in which your Drive Map setting is located.
  3. Click User Configuration, click Policies, click Administrative Templates, and then click All Settings.
  4. Select and then open Configure Purge RSOP behavior.
  5. Select Enabled, and then set the value to 0x00000001.

DirectAccess is used for internal network connections in Windows 7 SP1.

Symptoms:
A Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer uses DirectAccess to connect to the IPHTTPS address of the DirectAccess Server even though the computer is connected to the internal (domain) network.

Cause:
This issue occurs if the FQDN connection to the DA server(s) can be resolved in the internal network and a route exists to the IP address it resolves to. Or, if the DA client uses a proxy server that has a route to the DA server(s).

Only the IPHTTPS tunnel is connected. The IPSec tunnels are not created inside the IPHTTPS tunnel because the firewall detects a domain profile and the Connection Security rules do not apply to the domain profile. it is not a "full" DA connection that the Windows 7 client completed, but the IPHTTPS tunnel connection still occurs on port 443. As a result, performance issues may occur on the Direct Access Server.

Applies to
  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Review and request hotfix:

"0x000000D1" Stop error after you install TDI drivers in Windows.

Symptoms:
Assume that you have a computer that is running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008. After you install Transport Driver Interface (TDI) drivers, the computer crashes. Additionally, you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

Code: 
Stop 0x000000D1 (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4)


Notes
  • This Stop error describes a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL issue.
  • The parameters in this Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.
  • Not all "Stop 0x000000D1" errors are caused by this issue.
  • The Afd.sys file is listed as the source of this error.
Cause:
This issue occurs because a TDI endpoint structure is created and populated when a WinSock application tries to bind a socket. However, a network interrupt occurs before the TDI endpoint structure is initialized. Therefore, the Afd.sys file tries to access to uninitiated data structure, and the computer crashes.

Ls command takes a long time to list shared files in 2 windows on a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based NFS server.

Symptoms:
Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 Service pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
  • You configure the computer as a Network File System (NFS) Server. Then you create and share files on the NFS server.
  • You use a mount command on a NFS client to connect to the NFS Server.
  • You open more than one terminal window on the NFS client.
  • Then you execute the following ls command in each terminal window at the same time to list all shared files:
    cd <NFS share>
    ls –lR
In this scenario, it takes a long time to list all the shared files from the NFS server.

Cause:
This issue occurs when the NFS client sends a GETATTR call two times in a row. The NFS Server has to wait for the ACK packet from the NFS client for the first GETATTR reply packet before it can send the queued second GETATTR reply packet.

Note In most cases, it takes about 0.04 sec to send the second GETATTR reply packet because of delayed ACKs from the NFS client. Therefore, it takes more than two hours when you execute an ls command to list all files for the attribute information when the total number of files is more than 400,000.
(400,000 * 0.04 sec / 2 Nfs3GetAttr() calls / 3600 sec = 2.22 hours)

You can confirm how long it takes to send the GETATRR Reply to the NFS client by monitoring network packets.

Text is blurry when you magnify the text in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Symptoms:
Consider the following scenario:
  • You log on to a computer locally or by using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
  • You use a window magnification tool to magnify part of the screen at a high zoom rate (such as over 900%).
In this scenario, the text becomes blurry.

Cause:
This issue occurs because the following setting can affect the text rendering:

  • Magnification APIs that are used by the magnifier uses GDI+ InterpolationModeHighQualityBilinear interpolation mode for rendering.

    Note After you apply this hotfix, magnification APIs uses the default GDI+ Interpolation mode.
  • Windows 7 introduces some changes in ClearType and grayscale technologies. When these modifications try to improve the font rendering and reading experience, text appears blurry when you use a high screen magnification zoom. To work around this issue, disable the following settings:

    Note For more information about the changes in ClearType and grayscale technologies, go to the following Microsoft website: Engineering Changes to ClearType in Windows 7
    • Disable the Turn On ClearType option by clicking the Adjust ClearType text link in the Appearance and Personalization window in Control Panel.
    • Disable the following options:
      • Disable all the options under the Visual Effects tab in the Performance Settings window under the Advanced tab in the System Properties window for the System setting in Control Panel.
      • When you use a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection, disable all performance options under the Experience tab.
      • Disable the ClearType usage in some applications. For example, disable the Always use ClearType for HTML option under the Adavanced tab in Internet Options in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.

Multipath I/O identifies different disks as the same disk in Windows.

Symptoms:
The code in Microsoft Windows that converts a hexadecimal device ID to an ASCII string may drop the most significant nibble in each byte if the byte is less than 0x10. (The most significant nibble is 0.) This causes different disks to be identified as the same disk by Multipath I/O (MPIO). At the very least, this may cause problems in mounting affected disks. And architecturally, this could cause data corruption.


Prerequisites

To apply this hotfix, you must be running one of the following operating systems:
  • Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  • Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Performance issues when you use credential roaming on RD Session Host servers in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Symptoms:

Consider the following scenario:
  • You set up credential roaming for a user who uses a shared Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
  • The user logs on to a computer that is running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to establish a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection to the RD Session Host server.
In this scenario, the RDP connection may be slow. If you do not recognize this issue in time, other new RDP connections to the server freeze indefinitely. Eventually, the server freezes, and it must be restarted to recover from this frozen status.

Note The number of users that is required to cause this issue varies. The number is determined by the number and the size of the certificates that credential roaming is synchronizing

"Device does not exist" error after you reinsert a USB COM port device.

Symptoms:
USB devices that expose COM ports for communicating between their application and the device use the inbox Usbser.sys to create virtual COM ports. If such a device is removed and then reinserted quickly, it may not be rediscovered correctly, and the COM port, such as COM3, may not be re-created. Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Device does not exist.

Cause:
This problem occurs because of a race condition in the Usbser.sys driver during surprise removal and rediscovery of the same device. This causes the corresponding COM port not to be re-created.

This one is a revised article ID from February 13, 2013 but is still valid and it had also never been putted over this thread. So, was a missing hotfix.

"0x0000007E" Stop error when you restart a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.

Symptoms:

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
  • The IPv6 transition technologies are enabled on the computer. For example, you enable the Intra-site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), 6to4, and Teredo IPv6 transition technologies on the computer.
  • You restart the computer.
In this scenario, you receive the following Stop error message during the startup process:

Code: 
0x0000007E (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) 
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED


Notes
  • The parameters in this error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.
  • Not all "0x0000007E" Stop errors are caused by this issue.
Cause:
This issue occurs because the Tunnel.sys driver does not check whether all queued work items are completed before it frees them during the module unloading process.
