Windows 2003 Server SP1 - Authenticated Web sites
Hi All,
I recently installed SP1 onto an SBS 2003 server. Ever since, all authenticated web sites come up asking for a user name and password and will accept none (default web and company web excepted). If I allow anonymous acess, no problem. If I make the site a virtual directory under the default web, no problem. So I have found a workaround, allow anonymous access for http://someintranet and have a dummy redirect to the authenticated http://servername/someintranet. Bit messy but it works. I read somewhere that microsoft talked about having the same problem - some to do with man-in-middle attacks - not sure what they are? Anyway apparently they have found a workaround but I cant find it - does anyone know about this issue and even better have a solution?
Many thanks in advance,
Stewart.

Microsoft has for the time being recalled the SP1 for SBS because of many problems
I didn't think it was released yet ? I know SP1 for server standard is out and working but SBS SP1 is not due for release until next month i thought.

Thanks all.
I wasn't aware that it wasn't compatable. It has actually resolved a number of other issues, so I'll probably leave it going untill SBS Sp1 is released unless I come across any other issues.
