Working with Server Admin bookmarks in Microsoft Internet Explorer
When creating bookmarks to Server Admin pages in Microsoft Internet Explorer, a file is created for each bookmark (by default, each bookmark file is at C:\Users\<user_name>\Favorites); it contains a browser address and other frame address hash information.
When creating bookmarks to Server Admin pages, only the browser address is recorded (not the frame address hash information). As a result, when accessing Server Admin bookmarks in Internet Explorer, the hash information for each bookmark does not match, which results in an error when accessing the bookmarks. This issue does not affect bookmarks created in Mozilla Firefox, because the Firefox records only the browser address.
The issue can be resolved by manually updating the relevant Server Admin bookmark files to remove all information except for the address information listed under the [InternetShortcut] section. In the following bookmark example, you would delete all information except for the last two lines:
