What is necessary to get the AppPools in II6 to work with
applications that reside on network shares? For example,
if my application/website resides on the local server in
the path c:\website, and I have the website point to this
path, my application pulls up and works fine.

If I move the application/website to a network share
(\\webserver\share\website1) and have the website point to
it (using an account with full permissions), the
application just hangs and never responds.

I have setup a user account in the domain and have given
it all of the same rights as the IWAM accounts. My app
pool runs under this domain account. This account also
has Full Control rights to the entire website.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Read this URL on how to properly configure IIS6 and UNC shares.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technol...es/weba

You did not specify:
1. What user authentication is enabled for this application
2. Are you using passthru or not (I suspect you are using a specific UNC
Username/password)

I suspect your setup will magically work if you change authentication to
Basic. If so, you really need to read the above URL for info on protocol
transitioning and delegation.

Thanks for the help David. The article looks good and has
some good information. After going through it, I am still
having some problems, though. I'll go into a bit more
detail this time:

What we are trying to accomplish is to get our custom web
application to work over 5 IIS servers with the data
residing in one share location. (One of the 5 IIS servers
is a Domain Controller, in case that is relevant.)

I have an application pool setup to run as the same user
account that has full rights to the web data. (We'll call
the account "web".) I have the websites pointed to the
UNC path and connecting to these servers as "web". I have
created WebService Extensions to allow our custom .dll
files to run.

If the data is local, everything works fine. If I change
it to the UNC path, it's only our custom application it
cannot open. Standard .html and .asp files pull up fine.
My secure web directories are asking for authentication
and that is working fine, too.

I was just looking through the thread on "ISAPI filters
and IIS 6.0" that you had responded to, as well. It's
possible that this can relate somehow to my issues as well
and I am looking into that more now. Please, if you have
any other suggestions, they are greatly appreciated!

One other thing I forgot to mention which may be
related... In our eventlog, we have an interesting error
that I have found little information on. It comes up
everytime we stop/start IIS in the Application log:

Source: IISADMIN
Type: Warning
Event ID: 105
Computer: LOCALCOMPUTER

IISADMIN service failed to verify anonymous/wam account
<DOMAIN>\"web". Some IIS functions can fail for this
reason.


As I said earlier, this "web" account is in the IIS_WPG
group and has all of the same rights (ie, run as a
service, etc.) that the NETWORK ACCOUNT and SERVICE
ACCOUNT do.
