I have a mixed environment with x86 and x64 XP systems. All have the
updates
required and most access Sharepoint 2003 portals. Anonymous Access is not
allowed, Windows Authentication is required, however have found that none
of
the x64 clients are prompted for user credentials (DOMAIN\username and
password) while all x86 clients are. All are required to login to the
domain
to gain access, but after that the x64 clients do not need to re-validate
to
gain access to the Sharepoint sites, even if they are not setup as vaild
users to those sites.

Any and all ideas as to how to prevent this would be very very much
appreciated.


Well, I thought I had a likely cause, until I got to your statement
even if they are not setup as vaild users to those sites
I was thinking to explain this by differences in the Internet options
security settings and/or zone recognition differences between the
machines, specifically as those impact whether Windows authentication
is allowed in the IE settings.

So, if a machine local account logs into an x64 XP it gets prompted
when attempting access to any of those Sharepoint webs, but if ANY
domain account logs in then it can access ANY of the Sharepoint webs
even though some of them are restricted so they should not allow that
domain account. Correct summary?

If only specific domain accounts show this, while logged in as one,
have you checked for cached network credentials ? in the properties
of the account in control panel ?
