LEAP Documents 2003 - MS Word integration

After installing the Leap Documents 2003 Client you may encounter some errors when you attempt to open Word documents that are part of Matters.

These relate to an incompatibility with Leap and a particular windows update - this is resolved by applying a fix which can be downloaded from the Leap website - under "Leap Tools" >  KBLD1051 Reg Fix.zip.
Once that has been applied, the next time Leap runs it will install a patch that will undo the effects of the offending update.
Close and re-open Leap again and Click "Help" > "About" > Click "Rebuild All". This will replace all Office add-ins and macros, etc.

We also need to make sure the Trust and Add-in settings are correct for Word
1. Close Leap.
2. Go into Word Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings... > Select Enable all macros
3. Word Options > Add-Ins > Make sure the Leap plugin is not disabled.

That should sort the problems out - this is relevant for Leap Documents v6.3.279.

SBS 2008 Console and integration with WSUS

SBS 2008 uses WSUS 3.0 as its backend for the Windows Small Business Server (Windows SBS) Update Services component. The Updates section on the SBS Console is a wrapper for the WSUS system and relies on a set configuration within WSUS and GPOs - if you make changes to WSUS outside of the SBS Console the SBS Update Services will deactivate ustil the configuration is returned to its former state and may lead to unexpected behaviour.

The required settings are detailed at http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/06/23/update-services-in-sbs-2008.aspx
