WebDAV (mini-redirector): double-click in an SSL-enabled WebDAV-folder to open an Office 2003 file d

[Rudolf Kaertner]

Operating system: Vista
Office: 2003
WebDAV client: Microsoft Vista Mini-Redirector 6.00.0xx
WebDAV server: Microsoft IIS 6.0, SSL-enabled


Having an WebDAV folder open (URL:
https://iisdav.testinfra.local/WebDAV/Test.doc )
and double-click on an Office-2003 file.

--> Office starts, but claims, that it cannot open the file (note the
changed / mixed-up URL):
"http://SSL/WebDAV/Test.doc could not be opened"

Clicking on OK leads to:
" \\iisdav.testinfra.local@SSL\WebDAV\Test.doc could not be opened.
.. . ."

Looking in the Server-side logfiles of IIS 6 shows, that Mini-Redirector is
acting (and failing)
despite Office 2003 bringing its own Rosebud client.

- is this an known problem?
- is there an hotfix or SP for this problem?
- is there an workaround?
- How can Rosebud be forced to be used instead of Mini-Redirector?

Hi Carey,

thank you for your answer!

We are aware of this update.
But it does not come into action, as doing the scenario explained in my
first post,
only the builtin Vista Mini-redirector is acting.

WebFolder UserAgent is nowhere in the IIS-log...
