Trying to get to sub web goes to root web

[mike]

Environment = approx 80 users with permissions to their various
subwebs. All was well with them accessing their sub webs. We are in
the process of RIS'ing all machines with a standard os (XP). After a
machine has been RIS'ed the user tries to get to their subweb, but FP
tries to put them at the root web where they dont have permission. I
went as far as converting the subweb to a folder and re creating the
sub web with perms for the user. No difference. That is why I am
thinking this is Client side. There is nothing of use that I can find
in the event log.
Why would FP try to point them to the root web?

Regards,
Mike

have each user, or a sample user add their subweb to their network places.
then when they try to go to their subweb it'll go fine.
when they're getting thrown into the root are they typing their full url to
their subweb: http://localhost/someguyssub?

Which version of Windows XP are you installing, Home or Professional?

If your users are connecting to the network via a Domain Controller, then
you must use Windows XP Pro.

I think you will get better support by posting to the appropriate Windows XP
newsgroup.

The user(s) are typing in the full URL http://www.mydomain.gov/theirsubweb

The OS(s) is XP Pro
There is a Domain controller for authentication.

then it would seem Thomas has the answer. I'd still wonder if adding the
subweb as a "network place" would work.

Mike,

I think you need to make sure the user have permissions to access the root
web, but only have authoring permissions for their specific subweb. This I
think needs to done via the FP2002 extensions Admin interface.
