(sharepoint) accessing document library as regular folder win2k3 ...


Hi,
I have a Sharepoint specific problem on my TFS server:
When using windows xp as a client I can access all document libraries as regular folders in the windows explorer ie: \\myserver\sites\mysite\mydocumentlibrary

While on Windows Server 2003 (standard sp1) I cannot. (Note: this is not the same as TFS, but used as a regular client.) Accessing the folders as web folders in my network places or from Word 2003 is not a problem.

I have tried uninstalling IE enhanced security on the win2k3 server.

Thank You

Snorre

huh, i have no trouble from a windows XP computer, but on the TFS server (no enhanced security), i get a "no network provider accepted the given network path." when browsing to \\[TFSserver]\sites. -- note, it's not a network resolution issue, it brings up \\[TFSserver].

i don't see where the \\[TFSserver]\sites share is defined. it must be through the sharepoint installation, but it doesn't show up in the listing of shares. maybe this is part of the trouble?

does it work from your TFS server?

Hi,

The problem is likely that the 'Web Client' NT service is not enabled on your W2K3 machine. It's enabled by default on XP, but not on W2K3. Open the 'Services' applet from 'Administrative Tools', find the 'Web Client' service and set it to 'Automatic'. You may have to restart the machine for this to work, but after the web client has been enabled you should be able to access your server using \\[tfserver]\sites\[site].
