Anyone have any quick/easy fixes for this? Apparently there's no Explorerview for My Site libraries, so this could be painful if there are enoughdocuments. I'll be looking at stsadm next, but any "been there" insightwould be appreciated.
Okay, strike what I said about no explorer View. The problem here is thatwhen I try to go to Explorer View, I get the standard "your client does notsupport opening this list with windows explorer" error.So far, Google has failed me. Any tips?
Are you doing this from IE7 on the server? If so, make sure that you areopening the 32 bit IE7 and not the 64 bit version. The message you are gettingis what I normally get when using IE7 from Vista 64. As long as I make sure I'mopening the 32 bit version of IE I can normally get the Windows Explorer view towork.
but I get the same result in the 32-bit version.I don't suppose I'd need to install the Desktop Experience feature forthis...?
Yes, you do. You might also need to dohttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861 as well depending on thespecifics of your setup.
If you are doing it directly on the server it may also be a problem with theloopback security check imposed in Server 2003 SP1 and later. See the followingblog.www.harbar.net/.../disableloopbackcheck-amp-sharepoint-wha\t-every-admin-and-developer-should-know.aspx
I took care of loopback several months ago due to indexing issues.Unless of course you think there's an additional layer of loopback checkingthat would allow normal browsing but disallow Explorer View...?
You aren't by any chance using Forms Based Authentication on your siteare you? We are having an issue with explorer view on Vista with FBA.
Nope. Regular old Windows Auth.Always worth asking, though.
