KmlServer Bug in MXD-based services with Maplex Symbols

[DanielWalton]

We have an MXD published as an AGS 10 SP1 map service with several multi-layered maplex symbols in it. The symbols render fine in Silverlight and even in KML when published as an MSD. But symbols which have a white backlayer are missing the white layer when rendering via (MXD) KmlServer. If we change the color to slightly off-white, no problem. We also checked and made sure there weren't any masks defined in the symbols. The offwhite workaround is fine for us, just thought it should get reported.

On a side note, why can't we get KML balloon popups with the MSD-published services?

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure about the first render issue (I'd need to test it).

However the 2nd issue (pop ups) is a planed fix for for 10 sp2.

NIM061804 - KML Popups from Optimized MapServices do not open when selecting features in KML clients.

Thanks Kevin. If you need any information from me to test the first issue, let me know. When is 10 SP2 slated for release?

Last I heard the general target is Q2.
As it comes closer to completion there will be a more official date/announcement
