The Microsoft Knowledge Base article 946676 has been updated today regarding When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server.

Microsoft has successfully reproduced corruptions for the following nine programs:

• Windows Vista Photo Gallery
• Windows Live Photo Gallery
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2003
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
• Microsoft Money 2007
• SyncToy 2.0 Beta
• Intuit QuickBooks
• uTorrent

The list has been updated to show which programs have been reported by customers as having caused corruptions. However, Microsoft has not yet been able to reproduce corruptions for the following:

• Photoshop Elements
• Zune Software
• Apple iTunes
• TagScanner
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Adobe Lightroom
• Intuit Quicken
• MS Digital Image Library
• MP3BookHelper
• ACDSee
• WinAmp
• Windows Media Player 11
• Microsoft Office Excel
• Visual DataFlex

It is also stated that you may also experience this issue when you use other programs that are not listed here, as the problem is still being researched. It is still recommended that you do NOT save or edit the program-specific files on the Home Server. But remember this issue ONLY affects Windows Home Server systems that have more than one hard disk drive added to the server storage.
