I too am getting this, at the moment on both my laptop (New Dell with Vista
Business) and my desktop, joined to a standard Windows Server R2 domain.
Yellow warning triangle with exclamation mark, network connection showing as
unauthenticated.
It's interfering with my offline files on the laptop. Both machines fully
patched and running SP1, though it was happening before this.

Anyone any ideas? This 'unauthenticated network' thing seems do be
completely undocumented by MS, I can't find anything on it.

Same error here with a new Dell Vostro 1700 running Vista. Trying to run
Connectcomputer. IP6 disabled, wired LAN connection and Bluetooth
connection
disabled. DNS is the SBS server. IPCONFIG still shows a couple of odd
connection entries I have not seen befo

Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 6
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 11

Just setup a Vostro 1400 last week for another SBS customer w/o hitch.
What
gives Microsoft?

Make sure that only one network adapter is enabled

Thanks very much for the reply Robert. I did all that you suggested
and
now
when trying to use the client deployment tools I get the following
error:

"Make sure that only one network adapter is enabled and that is
connected
to
the Small Business Server"

The clients are connected via wireless to the server and there is
only one
connection active (the wireless one).

Thanks in advance for any new suggestions.

We have seen many cases like this one. Try this:

1. Remove the Vista from the domain.
2. Install MS update KB926505. or check this post.

news I have the same problem but the solution that worked for you Bob
didn't
for
me. Any other suggestions guys? And there is loss of
functionality. The
firewall profile detected is not "domain" but "public" and the
group
policy
firewall settings are not in effect. That means I cannot connect
to the
workstation via remote desktop and other such issues.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Alex.

Problem Solved!

Solution was to unjoin the workstation from the domain, reset the
secure channel, then rejoining the workstation back to the domain

Hi-

On some of the workstations on my SBS2003 network the Network
and
Sharing Center is showing the network connection as
"Unauthenticated"
and showing a yellow triangle icon.

It doesn't seem to have any impact on performance that I can
see, but
looks messy.

What does Unauthenticated in this context mean, and why do some
stations show it and not others? How do I get rid of it?
