Creating a Word document pops up a 'blocked by IE' dialog

Question

I've just setup SPS 2010 Beta 2 on a W2008 Enterprise Server.  When I go into a document library and click on the New link to create a new Word document, what pops up is a dialog box stating 'Content within this application coming from the website listed below is blocked by IE Enhanced Security Configuration'. I then click to add this unique random numbered site and my ribbon fields never appear..it just says Loading....

How do I get rid of this box that pops up?

Answer 1

I would try turning off IE ESC in Server Manager and adding the requested Uri to the Local Intranet or Trusted Sites zone in IE.

Answer 2

Bill,

That got me closer to where i need to be.  I turned off IE ESC in Server manager and made sure that this site was in the Trust Site zone in IE.

When I click to create my Word doc now, I get presented with a logon dialog box and once I login and then try to save the Word doc, instead of saving to the document library I created the file from, it tries to save to my 'document library' on the hard drive.

What settings may these be?

Thanks!

I just proofed this out on a Windows Server 2008 (SP2) machine using both the Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft Office 2010 Public Betas and reproduced the behaviour you've specified.  I haven't had a chance to dig any deeper than reproducing the scenario you describe at the moment; however, it is likely an integration issue where the server is the client or otherwise a browser configuration issue at this point.  I'll find some time to modify IE configuration and see if I can get any closer to resolution; however, even with the current behaviour you can still modify the save dialog and select the DocLib.

Update:  I played with various settings in IE and the behaviour persists, I'd consider this a client/server on same box issue; however, keep in mind, as said above you can still save to by editing the destination in the dialog.

Sorry to be ignorant, but how do you go into the File | SaveAs or Save dialog box and point it to your doc lib? I know I can't just put the address into the path so is there another method of saving it?
