H we're having some stability problems when accessing webdav folders from Windows 7 professional PCs. These are intermittent problems, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. We've noticed that the registry settings of the Webclient service contain keys that allude to debug logging. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters] "ClientDebug"=dword:00000000 "ServiceDebug"=dword:00000000 Anyone know what these do and if they produce a log, where those would be? regards Bob

Hi Bob, Would you please let me know if you want to find the webdav logs? What the issue did you encounter intermittent? Check if the following article is helpful. http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/documentation/webdav_logging Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.

Hi Niki, We have this behaviour in W7 prof SP1 with IE9 (I posted this here) : A webpage from our intranet contains links to WebDav-versions of folders. This is done through a special attribute in an anchor, e.g. <a href="http://server/node/5129413/" target="_blank" folder="http://server/node/5129413/" style="behavior:url('#default#anchorClick')"></a>. When I start IE9, log in and I click the link, an explorer opens with the correct view. If I then wait 30s - 60s and click het same link again, I get an error stating that the web folder could not be opened and if I would like to open it in the default view. When I look at the traffic in both cases, the WEBDAV commands are different: first click (it works): PROPFIND /node/5129413 HTTP/1.1 second time (same link, doesn't work): PROPFIND / HTTP/1.1 Closing the browser and retrying gives the same behaviour. This has never been a problem on our Windows XP PCs. The "PROPFIND /" doesn't work because there is an apache server in front of the livelink server that doesn't serve DAV requests. I've noticed with a standalone apache configured to act as a webdav server, that if you click a dav link which is not on the root there is a series of PROPFIND commands for every level that are executed, e.g. going to /folder1/folder2/folder3 generates following traffic: PROPFIND /, PROPFIND /folder1, PROPFIND /folder1/, PROPFIND /folder1/folder2, PROPFIND /folder1/folder2/, PROPFIND /folder1/folder2/folder3, PROPFIND /folder1/folder2/folder3/ but not always since in the above case it does a direct PROPFIND on the first request best regards Bob

Just to let you know, I seem to have found a workaround by enabling DAV on the apache server on the root. That way Apache responds correctly to the PROPFIND and the Miniredirector happily traverses all paths. Bob
