Hello all,

 

We have also had to downgrade for now. We have been looking at this with Microsoft premier support and after numerous attempts at a fix we have only been left with either downgrading or changing from Current Channel to Elite Ring which we did not want to do because of the huge jump in versions.

 

We have however been assured a hotfix is being worked on as we speak by the MS product group and will be released soon. I pointed my MS premier support advisor towards this discussion also and its been added to the case.

 

If I hear when the hotfix is out I will update again.


All the best.

    Any feedback around timing on this? downgrading is proven to more painful than its worth.
