David,
is it possible to configure win2003 server in the same way to allow xp
clients to use authenticated webdav with onenote2007 (s. my posts above in
this thread)??
Thanks! Franz

We're still trying to identify exactly why sync fails when syncing
notebooks on Win2k3 server, but it may very well be for the same reason.
I'm not very familiar with the configuration options so I can't give you
detailed steps, but it's probably worth trying the same workaround.

hi, thanks. I would like to try the same workaround, but I cannot find where
to setup these options. In win2003, I can just enable WebDAV and that's
it.Can someone from MS help here!!?!?! thanks! Franz

sorry, I didn't know.....
However, does someone know how to configure the WEBDAV account using the
same workaround as explained for apache? thanks! franz

Unfortunately, after our investigaion it does not appear that there's a
config that's supported by default that'd support the workaround. Your
best bet is probably to write an ISAPI DLL to support unsecured
options/propfind, although it'll probably be much easier for you to
install SharePoint instead. Another option is to migrate the client
machines to Vista, which will be better supported in the long run.

hi,
does it mean that there will be no support shortly by MS for using XP
computers with onenote and webdav?
Unfortunately, there are problems with the other options:
- Sharepoint: we already tried. First of all, it seems to be not recommended
to use sharepoint on the same server, where exchange2003 is installed. At
least, we got problems and needed to uninstall sp. Furthermore, in comparison
to all other solutions tested so far, the sharepoint connection was too slow
in comparison.
- moving to vista: might be an option for the next years. However, many of
the clients will not be able to be moved to vista due too hardware
restrictions. Thus, our clients want to have a solution which is still able
to handle xp clients.
- isapi.dll: no idea how and what to do!? Is there anyone out there to
explain what does is mean and what to do?
Would you recommend to stop using win2003 server iis and move over to apache
to have a working webdav solution with onenote?
It is really a shame because the shared notebooks are one the major features
of onenote and webdav is still the most important connection. Furthermore, I
do not understand why ms is not able to find a properly working webdav
solution for onenote on their own server products, whereas in comparison all
other office2007 products work with webdav....
Thanks again Ilya, but what to do?
