We are posting this notice to make Colo and Dedicated server owners aware of a service-impacting issue.

The Windows Update posted by Microsoft yesterday will break FileMaker 7 Advanced Server installations, and cause FileMaker Server to not launch after reboot. To fix, it requires a re-install of FileMaker 7 AS, which of course requires all installation and license codes to be re-entered.

So far, we have only seen this on Windows 2003 Server, so it may not affect other versions. If you encounter this issue on a different version of Windows, or FMP, please let us know. We will post more information it becomes available.
