• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Known Issue:

1. The MailEnable component version is incorrectly displayed in the control panel as 1.703.
It is in fact 1.71.
 
Yea it's released but it doesn't work!

Upon executing the service pack it runs for a short while and then this box pops up.

The path 'c:\program files\common files\wise installation wizard\WIS8D0CD104BD66496DB43A0D6CC6212A61_6-5_0.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location & try again, or try to find the installation package ' WIS8D0CD104BD66496DB43A0D6CC6212A61_6-5_0.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product Plesk 6.5 for Microsoft Windows.

A scan of the all drives finds nothing. If I abort I'm wondering how much more screwed up the server will become. I have a ticket with support over 30 days now and have grown extremely impatient. In fact, I've been unsuccessful in conveying to Plesk the importance of getting these issues resolved....as I am now in danger of losing clients. Furthermore, I am suprised that no one has contacted me after Anton assured me yesterday that this was a top priority. I'm at a complete loss here.

Unhappy in Chi-town
