Consider the following scenario:
- You create a customized Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that is based on the Active Directory Users and Computers (Dsa.msc) console.
- In the customized console, you create a Taskpad view, and then you create a new task that opens an entry through multiple levels.
- You open the customized console, and then you click the new task.
In this scenario, you receive one of the following error messages:
Error 1MMC cannot complete the task because an error occurred
The specified action could not be completed
In addition, the number of times that you receive the error message equals the number of levels of the target entry. For example, if you use a task in the Taskpad view to open Domain\
Level1 \
Level2 \
Level3 , you may receive an error message three times before the task succeeds.
Note This problem does not occur if the multilevel entry is already expanded before you open the task.
To resolve the issue, install the following hotfix on computers that are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
