Home, Monitors and Reports tabs blank issue with IE-7 and IE8 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box

I've come across an additional new cause for the error "Home, Monitors and Reports tabs blank issue " with IE-7 and IE8 for a SEPM installed on Windows Server 2008 R2

To resolve the issue, you need to enable additional security options as a minimum requirement.

Go to the Tools > Internet Options > Advanced of IE and perform the following steps to resolve the issue

The following settings must be enabled when using Internet Explorer 7 / Internet Explorer 8:

1. Under Miscellaneous: Submit non-encrypted form data
2. Under Scripting: Active Scripting
3. Under Scripting: Allow status bar updates via script

Please ensure that you restart the IIS Admin service after performing these changes.

• Click on Start > Run >
• Type "iisreset" without the quotes and click OK.

Login to the SEPM and you shall see that the Home, Monitor and Reports tabs show all the data properly.
