Symptoms

You run a 32-bit Internet SCSI (iSCSI) provider on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2.

In this scenario, the application does not retrieve the instance of MSiSCSIInitiator_PersistentDevice.

For example, in Windows Server 2008 R2, you run wbemtest32.exe, and this file is copied from a 32-bit version of the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2 and for Windows 7" section. MANIFEST files and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
