Consider the following scenario. You install SharePoint Workspace on your computer. On the Home tab, if you click New and then click SharePoint Workspace, you can create a workspace that synchronizes to a SharePoint 2010 site. However, if you browse to a SharePoint 2010 site in Internet Explorer, the Site Actions menu never includes Sync to SharePoint Workspace.

Resolution
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options.
- Click the Security tab, click the zone for the SharePoint server, and then click Custom Level.
- Under Run Active X controls and plug-ins, click to select Enable, and then click OK.
Caution This procedure lessens browser security for all sites in the affected security zone.
