Folks ...
Current production portal at corporate is running sharepoint 2010. It's
getting upgraded to 2013 but that's not going to happen for another month or so
down the road.
I have a user who (had) office 2010 on his machine and he used the explorer
view quite a bit against the portal for file management. We upgraded him to
office 2013. Time passes ..... ( couple of weeks maybe ... ) I get a call -
"... my windows explorer view no longer works on the portal.". I wanted to get
in the fact that quite a bit of time had passed before I became aware of this -
can't really say for sure that the upgrade to o2k13 is what broke the explorer
view capability ....
The web admin guy at corp who maintains the sharepoint server isn't much help -
says it is an integration issue and that his o2k13 (on win 8 client) works just
fine. My user is on win7.
Corp has a pre-production sharepoint 2013 up and running on the wire. George's
laptop (the guy who is 'broken') works fine on the 2013 sharepoint. ( the
explorer view thing) {sigh}
I know next to nothing about this - didn't even know what George was talking
about when he first called. He then showed me on someone else laptop who is
still on office 2010. "Ok great - you can hit the webserver (sharepoint) and
get an explorer like view. I see. Just not on your machine .... hmmmmm :( "
Kinda hoping maybe some of you have seen or something similar or perhaps know
what I might look for? Maybe old bits and pieces of office 2010 still kicking
around on Georges machine that need to go away? Browser used to hit the portal
(Georges machine) is IE10. We had 11 on it and reverted back to 10 - no joy.
