  IIS6 + WebDAV + multiple headers Reply Contact I have an intranet page set up to deliver work instructions to floor employees in a manufacturing environment. Our Engineering staff accesses updates these pages through Word 2007 and IE8 using WebDAV. I think I've hit a stumbling block and I can't seem to figure out what is causing the problem. The setup is below Win 2k3r2 IIS 6.0 w/ WebDAV enabled on Server site has Read, Write, and Browsing enabled (webdav is being restricted by NTFS permissions) the site has multiple headers for example wi.site.com wi wi.site.local When they open up the page at http://wi/ they are able to select Edit with Microsoft Word, Edit, then save their documents, however if they attempt to do the same thing with http://wi.site.com or http://wi.site.local the files open as read only. On our test server it worked fine on all the addresses, however now that we are migrating it onto a production server it isn't and I can't seem to peg the difference between the two servers (they are virtually identical in hardware and software) I thought it was related to the clients not being able to identify the sites as being part of the local intranet zone so I have added wi.site.com and wi.site.local to the intranet zone using GP (Computer\Administrative Templates\Windows\Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Security Page\ Site to Zone Assignment List) The Site to Zone list looks like this at current http://wi.site.com http://wi.site.local http://*.site.com http://*.site.local however that doesn't seem to have any effect on the current issue. If I grant the IUSR account write access, it is editable through http://wi.site.com and http://wi.site.local as well as http://wi/  , but this grants read and write access to anyone and everyone so that will not work for my purposes. I'm thinking that I'm missing a step someplace, perhaps there's an issue between IE8 and Word 2007? I'm stumped an any help would be greatly appreciated.

If so, you need to tune its settings as it can prevent some HTTP verbs for the operations and lead to the problem you met.

  Re: IIS6 + WebDAV + multiple headers Reply Contact lextm: Did you have URLScan installed on the production server? If so, you need to tune its settings as it can prevent some HTTP verbs for the operations and lead to the problem you met. That does not explain why it works with the simple server name though. If you use fiddler to check the request and header info do you see anything different?  Are you sure all those names resolve to the same IP?
