Microsoft Dynamics GP displaying overlapping text on home page

Scouting the Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner Online Technical Forum, I came across this interesting case, in which a partner reported seeing overlapping options text on the home page and missing picture bars. The problem, as reported by the partner, was only happening with a user on a specific workstation, but not with his domain account and Microsoft Dynamics GP user.

Home page with overlapping text and missing pictures
Initially, the partner attempted to reduce Internet Explorer's Internet zone's security to the bare minimum, which would allow all home page scripts to be executed, with no results. Still puzzled, they began running a ProcMon trace on Microsoft Dynamics GP to look for ACCESS DENIED events, as instructed by Microsoft's Partner Online Technical Community support engineer, Jason Larson.

The partner recorded all trace results, but SUCCESS, and found the following being displayed several times in the log:

FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS
FAST IO DISALLOWED
NAME NOT FOUND
REPARSE
NO MORE ENTRIES
NAME COLLISION

They also reported one message that appeared several times, NAME NOT FOUND pointing to the registry entry:

HKU\S-1-5-21-2191439342-1828296097-4069510072-1121\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security\DisableSecuritySettingsCheck

The partner also noticed that if they assigned the affected users to the Domain Administrators group via Active Directory, they would no longer experience the issue. The other groups they are in have Full Access to the Microsoft Dynamics GP program files folder.

The partner also found only one ACCESS DENIED entry in the trace pointing to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\MIME\Database\Content Type\application\futuresplash

After doing some research, the partner assigned Read permissions on the above key and the problem went away.

Why my transactions don't post through GL even when I have the flag selected?

Image
Are you tired of asking why is it that some transactions do post through GL and why some don't? Tired of changing the posting settings to no avail? This issue outta be one of the most confusing issues for users and consultants, new or seasoned alike. If you ever struggle with one issue in GP, please tell me it's this one, because even today, I cannot claim victory over this subject. So let's walk the walk together. What the theory says? According to Part 3, Chapter 13, page 87 of the Microsoft Dynamics GP's System Setup guide, " If you mark the Post Through General Ledger Files option, batches posted in other modules automatically will update the module in which the transactions originated and the appropriate posting accounts in General Ledger. Your transactions will post to General Ledger and not through General Ledger when posting transaction individually (without a batch). " Now lets break it down... It's important to really pay close attention to the t...

A .NET Framework error occurred during the execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "GetAssignedUsers"

Image
So, I found myself helping a client to troubleshoot a workflow issue. After configuring workflow a few weeks aback and running a few tests without any issues, we applied Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 January 2016 Hotfix. Now, when the client went to execute the workflow, he received the corresponding email indicating there was a purchase order to approve. He then proceeded to click the Approve hyperlink and the process continued as expected. After clicking the Approve button, the client receive the following error message: The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details The following shows the error as displayed on the client's screen. At this point, it is worth stating that the workflow ran to completion and the PO appeared completely approved and fine in Dynamics GP, so whatever was causing this error did not seem to interrupt the approval flow. As good troubleshooters, we went to the Event Viewer to check for addi...
