Hi Dan,
that article says:
2.1. Automatically Detect
Note 2: if the Require all users to authenticate Web Proxy setting is
configured for the Internal interface of your ISA 2004 server, the request
for the configuration script file (wpad.dat or wspad.dat) must be
authenticated also. This means that for Internet Explorer an authentication
prompt will pop-up. However, the Firewall client does not handle the "401
Authentication Required" response. Therefore, that request will fail. To
solve that problem, check out the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885683> 885683.
If the flag "Require all users to authenticate" is *not* set than no
authentication is required for WSAPD. Note that you can set a registry key
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885683) to *never*
require authentication for the WSPAD, irrespective of the setting of the
flag "Require all users to authenticate".
HTH,
Stefaan

I had read that article (even referenced it on this list yesterday,
ironically), but was looking for a clarification.
That article mentioned that if you have "Require all users to authenticate"
enabled, it will force authentication for the wspad.dat query, but doesn't
say anything else on the matter.
I don't have that option enabled, but do require authentication to get past
the Firewall Policies created. So, I am assuming that there really
"shouldn't" be any reason why it would be authenticating during that query,
but wanted to make sure.

I am right to assume that no authentication is required when the FWC
requests the wspad.dat file from the ISA2004 server? Trying to track down
some problems, and occasionally requests for the wspad.dat file go
unanswered from the ISA server. If it requires no authentication for that
file, then I can look at the ISA server closer, but if it does require
authentication to get that file I will have to look at both the ISA server
and the local DC.
