I'm trying to create virtual directory on IIS to link to network drive but it cannot. It did not allow me to click OK button. I'd try to grant permission to Everyone group to have full privileage in file server, it still cannot press OK. Is it possible to link virtual directory to network drive? If yes what should I do?

Thank you,

Use a UNC path instead. You can't use a netwrok mapped
drive becasue as soon as you log off the computer, the
network drive is disconnected.

\\servername\sharename

Hello,

You cannot use a mapped drive, you must use the complete path. For example:

\\serverName\share
