Re: WebDAV 404 Not Found Error with X-MS-ENUMATTS

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



404 should only get returned on any Exchange WebDAV method if the URL is
incorrect/the item is missing. URLScan will return a 403 Forbidden if the
method is not allowed.

You might also check for the presence of the "MS-Webstorage:" HTTP response
header on stuff coming back from the server - its presence means that
Exchange generated the response, as opposed to IIS or some other component.

If pasting the URL into the browser address bar works, it may mean that
there's some additional escaping of the string; this change generally shows
up in the browser's address bar (the IE Properties page often mucks up the
"Address (URL)" string) once the page is loaded. To see if there's an
escaping issue, create a new message with a simple, one-word subject, and
some attachments, then give it a shot.

To be sure, X-MS-ENUMATTS hasn't been turned off any SPs or fixes in
Exchange.
