Bug in v3.0 MMC? TimS 6/18/2007 10:16:02 PM I am not sure if this is a bug or not: I was viewing a new custom update view I had created, and really just sort of exploring the new MMC interface. On the right-hand 'Actions' panel, in the View section, I chose 'New Window from Here.' When I did this, instead of opening a new window, it changed the view of the existing one to just display my custom update view, and nothing else. That is all that is displayed now in the left-hand panel where the tree of objects (WSUS server, computers, updates, options, etc) should appear. And even when I close down the MMC and re-launch it, that is all I am able to get. How can I correct this, and is this the intended behavior of the product? Tim

MMC is MDI (multi-document interface) and the new window appeared maximized over your initial one. MDI means multiple documents are hosted within the bounds of the overall MMC window. -- Matthew Wetmore Developer, WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) This posting is provided "As Is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
