Hi,

Really confusing one here. Since this weekend (16/17 July) we have started getting Certificate errors on some sites and applications. This seems to be due to the structure of the URL compared to the "advertised" name IIS is presenting. I'll try to explain.

I have a site, Website. This is in my domain, domain.com. Therefore the FQDN is website.domain.com. IIS is running and I can access this site through FQDN,NetBIOS or IP address. Good news.

I create a certificate for the server using the FQDN as the subject, I add the Netbios and IP addresses in the Subject Alternate Names and Bind this to port 443 on the server.

I browse to https://website and all is good. I browse to https://website.domain.com I get a certificate error. Checking the certificate, everything is fine, no errors, chain is trusted. open Chrome and do the same, I get that the certificate website.domain.com is being presented by Website and may not be the site I want.

Using either URL has never been a problem until this weekend, but it seems that IE/Windows/IIS is not liking any URL that is not EXACTLY what IIS is presenting. so my questions are:-

Is anyone else finding this?

Can we issue a certificate that covers all possible DNS resolutions for a site?

How do I control WHAT IIS advertises itself as?

SO far this has affected two major systems on our network and I can see that more will arise, so any help would be appreciated.

I access Ancestry.com a lot and there site works best with IE, but my Yahoo Email does not and requires me to keep entering my password and keeps asking to stay on the site, this odes not happen with Chrome.

So I set Chrome as my default browser.

Then tried to edit the Target field in a shortcut for IE 11 and find that it is not editable, this used to work in IE 9, is there a different way to do the same thing as below except in IE 11.

Thanks

Shortcut to Open a URL with IE When Firefox is Default
1.Click Start
2.Click Programs
3.Click-and-drag Internet Explorer to your desktop
4.Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties
5.On the Shortcut tab, click the Target field and move the cursor to the end of all the text (Target field is gray out in IE 11)
6.Enter a single space and then enter your URL URL_IE

7.Click Apply
8.Click the General tab
9.In the text field at the top, give your shortcut an appropriate name
10.Click OK

Hello, 

How can i hide the adress bar in a popp-up IE-Edge ? We start each Pop-Up with window.open(page, name, options) where our options "menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no". However the url appears in the new pop-up under the title. 

In IE-8 there was no adress url displayed in pop-up window.

Thanks and kind regards,

I'm using IE11 on an HP ZBook 15 G2 which has built-in Intel HD 4600 and NVidia quadro k2100m graphics. The OS is windows 7 enterprise 64 bit. I've tried configuring ie11 to run using the intel and the NVidia graphics, but it didn't make any difference. I've also tried numerous versions of intel and NVidia driver versions and there was no difference. There has been a full OS reinstallation along the way and that didn't make any difference either, so I'm assuming this is a problem with IE11.

The problem is that the display area within the window freezes, eve though the IE11 process seems to be operating. I assume that because if I refresh the tab, I can see the address bar update. I can also see the task manager thumbnail update. Occasionally, if I suspend and resume the computer, the problem goes away, but usually, I just kill all of the IE11 processes and reopen them. This is very annoying and I'm wondering if there is a fix.

I would like to deploy IE11 using IEAK. I'm trying to package the IE11 prerequisite updates into the exe\msi it outputs but the installer is still trying to go out to the Internet to grab them from Microsoft updates. I want to avoid this. I am adding the updates via the Custom Components phase in the IEAK Wizard but I am not sure if this even works or if I am even using the correct command. I know the cabs are being inserted into the package because the size of the IE11-Setup-Full.exe\msi grows proportionality with the included cab files.

The expand command keeps getting truncated when I return to the Wizard no matter what I put so I am guessing its incorrect. IEAK documentation is lacking in this area.

OS – Windows-7 (64-Bit)

Internet Explorer Version - Version - 11.09600.18349, Update Versions: 11.0.32 (KB3160005).

Laptop : Samsung

Screen Resolution: 1920 * 1080

Screen Text : Medium - 125%

I have Microsoft edge, but, I am unable to download IE11 for this program. Does anyone know how I can do this? There are plenty of "go here to download" but none actually have the download. HELP.

Hi,

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with Internet Explorer and they way it handles opening file from the Internet. Sometimes it gives a prompt like this:

Which is great, I want to turn this on for all common document types (e.g. PDF, Word Docs, Zips). What I've found is you have to either untick the option 'Always ask before opening this type of file', or delete a registry key in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute

When I check my PC I find I don't have that option and the registry keys aren't present.

Could someone clarify this for me? I'm running IE11 and Windows 7. 

Thanks

Dave

Hi,

We use a WPAD file hosted on a Websense appliance and use IE11 on Windows 7 x64.

We are seeing some performance issues with the Websense delivery of WPAD and have discovered that every computer is making a large amount of calls to the websense appliance to retrieve WPAD.dat. (Up to 1000 per machine in some cases)

We have worked with Websense and found that they were returning a 'no-cache' option in the WPAD response header. Via a patch we have had this removed.

However I still can't find a cached WPAD file on my machine that I am using for testing and have checked all the registry entries I can think of related to caching.

Does anyone have any ideas?

For reference, the WPAD.dat is (edited of course):

//

// Start of Script

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{

// Convert everything to lower case
var lhost = host.toLowerCase();
host = lhost;

//Local Networking Match
if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
shExpMatch(host, "localhost.*") ||
shExpMatch(host, "*.ourdomain.net") ||
shExpMatch(host, "*.local") ||
isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||
isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||
isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "172.16.0.0", "255.240.0.0") ||
isInNet(dnsResolve(host), "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
return "DIRECT";

//Host Matching
if (dnsDomainIs(host, "*.partnerdomain1.com") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, "*.partnerdomain2.com") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, "*.ourdomain.net") ||)
return "DIRECT";

//Expression Matching
//if (shExpMatch(url, "*ourintranet.net"))
//return "DIRECT";

// Default - Use Proxy 
return "PROXY proxy.ourdomain.net:8080"; 

}
// End of function

We use DNS to point proxy.ourdomain.net to the Websense appliance.

Any suggestions / ideas welcomed.

Hi,

We are having SharePoint 2013 environment in that we have couple of libraries with PDF files. While we are opening the PDF files from IE and Chrome we are seeing blank screen. Can you please tell us what are the settings/plug ins needed for IE to show PDF files in browser.

IE 11 (with the latest June 2016 patches) on Windows 7, Windows 10, and the latest Windows 10 Insider Build (14385) reports that it is IE 7, thus causing many websites to display incorrectly.

As evidence, using the site, http://useragentstring.com/, IE 11 is sending the following string:  "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.3)".   This suggests that IE11 is telling websites that it is Internet Explorer 7.0. 

I reported this on July 1st (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/when-using-ie-11420105860-google-calendar-says/df201160-6c34-4899-91b7-11f188e4b7a2?auth=1) and it doesn't appear to have been taken seriously!

Our IT folks are asking us to abandon IE and switch to Chrome.  Please

• Make a hotfix available prior to the next Patch Tuesday;
• Make sure this is fixed before the Windows 10 Anniversary Build is completed this month;
• Make sure that a fix is included in the July Patch Tuesday.

PLEASE TAKE THIS BUG REPORT SERIOUSLY!

Trying to download KB3081444.  Only options offered are microsoft.com/downloads, which doesn't have it, and the Microsoft Update Catalog site.

I went there with Edge (I'm running Win 10) but it told me to use IE.  Once at the page, I keep getting told that "this web site wants to add the following add-on: "Microsoft Update Catalog" from "Microsoft Corporation."  (Are there quotes because IE doesn't believe it's really Microsoft?  Or is it just being sarcastic?  Hard to tell sometimes. :-) )

Anyway, I always click "Install," but nothing happens.  F12 offers no help.  Any idea how a fully updated, licensed copy of Windows 10 Enterprise running the latest version of Internet Explorer (with no fancy security settings cranked up) can't load an ActiveX control from Microsoft Corporation while trying to download updates from Microsoft's Update Catalog?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a user that when they try to log into Duke Progress Energy's website at https://www.progress-energy.com/app/loginregistration/login.aspx it will redirect them to a "one time authentication" page which requires them to use a one-time key to log in on a new computer.  When going to this one-time website (secure8.i-doxs.net) it will get an error message that says...

This page can't be displayed

Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in the Advanced settings and try connecting to https://secure8.i-doxs.net again.  If this error persists, contact your site administrator.

Well, I'm the site administrator and I can confirm that TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 are all enabled and forced by GPO.  Restarting IE and rebooting did not help.  Chrome and Firefox both work flawlessly.
