DFS and windowx XP Client Download message error.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

We have configured DFS and mapp the share during the users logon script.
On windows XP clients (Sp1 & SP2) we recieve a download warning when double
clicking executables:

This does not happen on windows 2000.

Any ideas where we start looking ?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

This is being blocked by the Windows shell (Windows Explorer), not DFS. The
cause is that Windows shell treats any names with dots in it as a remote
address. This problem will also occur if you use a fully qualified domain
name to access a regular shared folder. To prevent this from occuring, you
need to add the domain to the list of trusted intranet zones. There might be
a way to do this via Group Policy but unfortunately I don't know the
specifics on how to do this. You might try asking in the Group Policy
newsgroup.
