Known Issues for MS14-022

Known Issues for MS14-022

As we are seeing Service Pack 1 and post-Service Pack 1 binaries being delivered with MS14-022, and there are fewer known issues with SharePoint 2013 Service Pack 1 farms, I would strongly recommend that SP1 be applied prior to installing MS14-022 or if that is not possible, as soon as possible after applying MS14-022. One of the MS14-022 knowledge base articles has also been updated to note that pre-SP1 farms must also install KB2880963.

There are a few known issues with the security update, 

MS14-022 (Vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint Server Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2952166)). Most of these issues have been observed in SharePoint 2013, although some of them may also be present in SharePoint 2010. MS14-022 appears to contain many SP1 and/or post-SP1 binaries.

For SharePoint Server 2013 Pre-SP1 farms:

1) The Office 365 links in Central Administration are now present, unsure of their functionality status.

2) An error appears in the SharePoint Management Shell when it is opened. This has been previously associated with installing Foundation SP1 on Server.

Method 'Upgrade' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation.

For SP1 and Pre-SP1 farms:

1) The April 2014 CU Classic to Claims conversion bug with Convert-SPWebApplication bug is present in MS14-022. (Fixed in the June 2014 Cumulative Update)

2) “%25″ is added to the URL when searching within the farm (Content Query Webparts, and elsewhere), otherwise known as the “double encoding” bug. 

While this security update is classified as Critical, this is a patch I would run through extended testing in a non-production farm if the production farm is currently not running Service Pack 1.

“Open with Explorer” is disabled in for document library in SharePoint 2013

“Open with Explorer” is disabled in for document library in SharePoint 2013

Solution: Please find the below limitations on open with the explorer.

1.    Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.

2.    Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default

3.    Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit
