I have a couple of external HDD's 1TB and when ever I connect them I need to go into disk management and assign a drive letter for them to work, is this normal?

Just an Update: I have now found that Windows Xp Client Machines, are able to access the WebDAV file and open/save the work. Also anyone that is struggling with this and mapping network drives over https, I don't think it can be done. The only way I've been able to get that to work is by going to: My Network Places > Add New Network Place then putting the correct details in there. This then creates a networked folder in My Network Places

Greetings all, I am currently attempting to setup a WebDAV service on a test server, using Windows Server 2008 w/ IIS 7. Over a https:// connection. I have got as far as being able to connect to the webdav folders and viewing all of the contents, by mapping the drive. But when ever I try to open a Microsoft Document (word, excel, etc..) I keep getting this message pop up Might I also add that the file opens up but won't save. I have a feeling its permissions related but i'm not sure where to look? also I am logged on as admin when trying this so there shouldn't be any permissions problems surely? Has anyone come across this before?

Hello All, Just an update on our situation, everything seems to being running fine now, we think we found what was causing the problem. One of our switches was flagging up alot of errors on a particular port (32) when we went to look at this port we couldn't work out want was connected to it causing all this traffic and errors. So we ended up pulling the cable up out of the trunking and it turned out the the cable wan't actually connected to anything. The cable looked like it have been cut and left in the trunking, and from what I can tell all of the cores of the cable were touching each other. The funny thing is that cable was left like that before I started working at the school which is coming up to 4.5 years. So why it has only recently started causing a problem I don't know. But thanks from everyone that got in contact.

Thanks for all the input, it has given us a few more directions to move in, I will keep you posted. Thanks

Greetings all, Over the past 2 weeks we have been having some serious issues with our network, where what appears to be random connection drop outs. We are running a Windows Server 2008 R1 network with some Windows Server 2003 servers as well. All of our client machines are Windows XP Pro with the exception of 4 admin machines which are running Windows 7 Pro. We have 3 Domain Controllers (Windows Server 2008 Core), we also have 2 Servers running Hyper-V with several virtual servers running on each of them. All of our servers have network Teaming enabled as well. We also have a Ruckus Wireless network. Our Main switch is a Procurve 4203VL and we have approx. 10x ProCurve Switch 2610-24 dotted around the school. The Drop outs at first would happen network wide, but now it seems to be randomly happening in different areas. We are running out of ideas on what could be causing this and hope that someone here may have a solution or idea? Thanks
