File resource manager bug in Server 2008

There is a bug in Server 2008 (SBS 2008 as well) when you have enabled file resource manager. For instance if you have enabled it on the same disk volume as your Sysvol folder you are no longer able to save new GPO’e even though you haven’t made any restrictions for *.ini. You will get an error in the GPO Management console saying: “The data present in the reparse point buffer is invalid” Remove the role and reboot and your problem ill be fixed, I have heard that Microsoft is working on a hotfix for this.

DNS bug in SBS 2008

It seems that there is yet another bug in SBS 2008. When using root hints in DNS, the service stops working after a while (1-2 days) and you have to flush the cache to get it going again. In services it states that it is started and running but it cannot make any DNS lookups. However if you use forwarders there is no problem… And again it is not appearing on all installations so I have not found a trend yet.
