Have solved this problem - and if you have an authenticated CF server, you may want to keep this one in the back of your head..
A bit of background first to set up so you can see the whole picture. Windows 2003 server, IIS6, upgrading from CFMX6.1 to CF8 - BUT - we completely uninstalled cfmx 6.1 and did a fresh install of cf8 Enterprise in multiserver mode. Only have a single cf instance (cfusion) so far on this server. The server does not allow any anonymous access, nor does it allow http access, only https and we issue our own certs. So, to deal with the certs issue with cfhttp, cfldap, web services and whatnot we imported our signing cert into the jrun certstore - simple normal stuff. To deal with the NT authentication issues with CFMX6.1, we implemented the "fix" found in this KB http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18516 (Steps 1-4) After finding that the server monitor did not work, I also discovered that CFFORM type="flash" was not working either. The CF administrator has all the necessary live cycle settings enabled. When viewing source on the flash form html file that is generated by CF, I noticed that it was pointing to 2 files in the same folder as the calling template (myform.cfm), myform.cfswf and myform.mxml - neither of which actually existed. So I started reading some more (I do love the absolute plethora of CF resources on the web). Turns out that cfform type="flash" does not actually generate files, but serves them straight from memory. Going back to http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18516 Step 3.f - 3.h it says to select the "Check that file exists" checkbox. Logically, since the cfswf nor the mxml files exist on disk, this check is going to fail and even though CF serves the correct html, it cannot pipe the "memory resident" files down the http pipe. If you uncheck that box, then the flash forms and the server monitor both start working. Solved! But, (and it is a big but) am currently working now to determine if that "fix" is still needed in CF8 (looks like not so far). If it is, then it looks like we decide between security and flash/flex - hopefully not a choice we have to make. Will keep you posted on what I find out about the IIS6 settings "fix" as it relates to CF8.
