Sharepoint searched and opened document are in read mode only and the edit button does not appear
This issue makes me crazy for about one week... then today I fixed the problem! It's not a sharepoint configuration problem, but an internet explorer 7 security issue!
Off course! Why I did not think for this early?!?
So, to fix it add the following registry key to your windows registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Internet\OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing = 1
It is the correct key if you have Microsoft Office 2007, if you have a different Office installation take a look to the following document where is indicated the same registry key for Office 2003 and Office XP.

You have installed a single Hyper-V server with some virtual machines and you want to complety snapshot them using Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 (only with SP1) while they are running?
No problem, with DPM 2007 SP1 you can do it; but if you try to create a new protection group and add the dpm server itself to backup the vms you cannot select them... why?
Unofortunately by now there is no documentation about this procedure (you can retrieve only some white paper about dpm integration with virtual server 2005), so why you cannot backup the dpm server itself?
Try to execute this script using the following DPM Management Shell command and you will discover that all will work fine:
Set-DMGlobalProperty –AllowLocalDataProtection $true [-DPMServerName]
Off course, you can disable it using the $false parameter (Microsoft will tell you they do not support this kind of choise... but... it works :-P)
