  If you can't download baselines from SCM because of proxy and download restriction, you can download them manually and import into SCM. Here are baseline URLs.

  Thanks.

  One still wonders why a Microsoft tool cannot get this information in a seamless manner when we are using a Microsoft proxy.

  nm, authenticating proxy issues

  Wow! We are really unhappy with your proxy server for some reason. I’ve never seen this one before. Couple questions:

  1.)  Do other apps on your machine have any issues? Like Windows Media Player or such?

  2.)  What proxy server OS/product/version is this?

  We’ll keep updating the wiki with baseline links, but sorry about the trouble!

  That would be a product called Webmarshal, probably slightly old version.   Authentication with it seems to be black magic sometimes. 

  Its not uncommon for other apps (such as Windows Media player) to pop up a dialog box asking for credentials (which are just the domain creds typed in again). IE, firefox, other apps just work.  and then some apps just trip up.

  I'm not in the office this week, but next week I might grab some fuller traces, and have a chat to the guys who run WebMarshal, see if they can explain what authentication it works with.

  cheers

  Sounds good man, thanks for getting back to me. We decided in SCM to *not* prompt for any creds on failure (we could prompt and then retry with those creds based on the HTTP failure code) – but we may decide to go down that road if we hear of more reports of failures like this…
