So today I ran into an issue on my working environment that I couldn’t access any shared folders, even if the share was a local folder and I had all available permissions.
My colleague found this thread describing the issue.
I verified in Device Manager and I did indeed have hundreds of Microsoft 6to4 Adapters installed.
Removal of the adapters can be scripted using the devcon.exe utility that can be found here for x86 and ia64. If you need the amd64 version you must download the Windows Driver Kit in order to obtain it. For future ease I have packaged all versions here: devcon_all.zip
devcon remove *6to4mp*
devcon rescan
Next make sure you install this hotfix to avoid this happening again in the future.
Finally reboot the system and you’re done !
Thanks a million, Davy !!
I would have preferred if Win7 RTM came sooner so that I could avoid migrating from Beta to RC and then from RC to RTM but no point to keep on whining about it :) So I decided to install the 64 bit issue of Windows 7 Release Candidate. I love how smooth those Win7 installs are. Very little interaction is required and the system correctly detects and installs my hardware.
Once up and running I logged in into my Outlook Web Access (Exchange 2007) and noticed a lot of flickering and errors in javascript files. Here’s an example:

Tried the compatibility mode, tried the no-addons approach, no luck. However then I noticed there was another link in the Start Menu for Internet Explorer that read “Internet Explorer (64-bit)”. I tried it and poof: OWA behaved as a perfect citizen ! Joy !
