Re: WSS 3.0 prompting for authentication on Vista clients

The problems don't end, though. Now we get a "Protected mode is currently turned off for the Local intranet zone" warning in the IE Information Bar. Very annoying, since this setting was applied via GPO. Sadly, there does not appear to be a corresponding GPO setting to suppress this warning, either.

This bar appears to be controlled by the DWORD value "NoProtectedModeBanner" in:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"
but the Vista Group Policy Settings reference does not contain this setting at all.

Off to trawl the Group Policy groups for help...

On the plus side, I have been credited on the Internet by Mike Walsh. What a hoot! I should have a credit to Mike added to my email signature file, and he is thanking me...

Your Subject and Text of message don't match. Do you have WSS 3.0 (here) or MOSS 2007 (microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver) ?

Add a WSS 3.0 site to the Intranet security zones when using Vista/IE7; Trusted is what is correct for XPPro but this doesn't work with Vista/IE7 you need Intranet (yes, it is odd, but it's a proven fact).

Glan I am not the only one going crazy.

Office 2007 Enterprise Edition on Windows Vista Business - get logon
prompts continuously when opening and saving documents.

Office 2007 EE on Windows XP works perfectly

I do not have any Proxy Server etc.

Single Domain, and MOSS 2007 Site has been added to the trusted sites
list.

I have also tried disabling protected mode on all the IE security
options and setting Trusted sites to the lowest security possible

HELP !!!
