We have a large company with 3000+ workstations and 100+ servers. Our intranet web server is running IIS 5.0 with Front page 2000, ASP.
There are a hand full of people that get prompted for a password when accessing/downloading intranet documents and forms, more specifically, word and excel files. When accessing adobe files on they do not get prompted for a password. But, when they access word or excel files they get a username and password prompt. They are fully authenticated on the domain. We have tried renaming their profiles, reinstalling office, added IP for intranet to proxy exceptions, cleared temporary internet files, removed machine from domain and added back. The issue is machine specific: when users log on to other machines they do not get prompted, Any Ideas???
 
Hi, the problem is in the fact that workstations try to open the office documents in "read/write".

Use policies or GPO to force the read-only opening of office documents..

hope this help
