Hi there,
I have the same issue with HP SMH 7.6.0 and Windows Servers 2008 and 2008 R2 where IE8 is installed by default. HP SMH 7.6.0 opens fine in Chrome on those servers but fails to open in IE8. This version works fine in IE10 on 2012 box. It is quite confusing that HP lists Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 as compatible with HP SMH 7.6.0. There is also no Release Notes issued for the latest version of SMH, only 7.5 Update2 listed.
