Ah SAPGUI, what a friendly piece of software for a system administrator! We’ve seen problems with IE7 on computers with SAPGUI and have rolled computers back to IE6. So, I had what I thought was a good idea – I’ll use the software metering rules in SMS, work out computers that haven’t used SAP for ages and uninstall it – reduce the size of the problem.

Unfortunately, it looks like after you uninstall SAPGUI 6.40 if you try to print in IE7 and/or Outlook you’ll have the minor problem of it not printing – as in not giving you the printer selection dialogue box. I haven’t worked out what exactly is causing it but be careful of this if uninstalling SAPGUI (as opposed to upgrading).
