You receive a "The location you selected for your new Document Workspace is a restricted or non-trusted site" message when you try to create a document workspace
When you try to create a document workspace on a Microsoft
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) server that is located outside your network
or on a restricted site, you may receive the following message:
The location you selected for your new Document Workspace is a
restricted or non-trusted site. If you are certain that this site cannot damage
your computer or data, add it to your Trusted sites and then try creating the
Document Workspace again.
Additionally, if a user tries to open a
shared attachment or local document workspace document where the workspace is
located on a restricted WSS server or a server outside their network, the user
may not be able to receive updates for the shared attachment.
This issue occurs because the document workspace is located
on a server that is not on a trusted site, or is on a restricted site according
to the Internet security settings on your computer.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following
methods.
Note Modifying the security settings on your computer can have a
serious effect on the vulnerability of your computer. Make sure that you
understand the security implications before you add a site to your trusted
sites or make changes to the security settings on your computer. For additional
information, see the "More Information" section of this article.
Method 1: Locate the Document Workspace on a Non-Restricted Site
If you can locate the document workspace in a location that you
know is not restricted by the users, this is the preferred method to resolve
this issue.
Method 2: Add the Document Workspace Site to your Trusted Sites
Important Make sure that you understand the security implications of doing
this before you continue. For additional information, see the "More
information" section of this article.
To add the document workspace
site to your Trusted Sites zone in Internet Options, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Control
Panel, and then double-click Internet
Options.
- Click the Security tab, click
Trusted sites, and then click
Sites.
- Under Add this Web site to the zone, type
the address of the site that you want to add, and then click
Add.
- Click OK, and then click
OK again.
When you can, it is a good idea to host your document
library site (such as described in this article) on a dedicated domain, instead
of on the root domain of your company's Web site.
For additional
information about security zones, see the "Understanding security zones" topic
in Internet Explorer Help.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
