Hi All,

App Server Environment - HP UX 11i/ARServer 6.3 Patch 16/Oracle 9i Release 
2/ITSM 6.0 (Clustered Environment)

Web Server Environment - Sun Solaris 8/Apache 2.4/WebSphere 5/Mid-tier 6.3 
Patch 16 and 7.0 (Two Nodes Load-Balanced)

Client Environment - Mix of XP and NT 4.0 SP6 systems (yes, NT 4) &
Internet Explorer 6.0 (sample version 6.0.2800.1106CO Updates: SP1 Q331906)

I am aware that NT 4.0 is not supported any more but we are currently
in the middle of an XP rollout which will go on for some time.
I want to see if anyone else has come across this issue and perhaps found a 
workaround...

The issue we are experiencing is as follows:

With some of the NT systems (NT 4 IE 6.0 - 5 out of the 20 tested so far) 
the browser hangs (no errors produced, it just sits
there and needs to be closed off and restarted to work). This happens under 
the following specific condition:

When a user enters into any  diary field or long charcter field in 
read/write mode and clicks OK (having entered data) or Cancel
the box window closes but control is never handed back to the original 
browser window (e.g. Reviewing the Work Log field available on the 
HPD:HelpDesk Form, under the
activity tab causes a hang on problem PC's). Normal behaviour as you know 
is for the pointer icon to change to a hand icon when over a page holder 
page for instance, on the problem PC's the icon never changes from the 
standard arrow icon and hence it is not possible to click anything - a 
restart of the browser is the only option. On ALL systems it is possible to 
open a diary field/long character field fine in read-only mode where the 
only option in the dialog window is Close (e.g. the Work Log field 
available on the Remedy Support console in the More Information section)

Workflow logging doesn't show any errors, nor web logs - The problem occurs 
with MT 6.3 and 7.0 - 
with PC's with the same OS and IE Level most work and one or two don't for 
no apparent reason - I have checked the IE settings with no obvious 
difference.

All of the XP systems are OK, and 75% of the NT landscape works fine from 
end-to-end.

Anyone with similar experiences/ideas for troubleshooting further?

Thanks In Advance,
Kevin
