Can I get a quick clarification here: a) Provisioning application runs on ServerA (which is part of a domain) b) Webserver (serverB) is standalone (not in the domain) c) Provisioning app (on ServerA) needs to create folders and/or files on ServerB
Question: Is the Provisioning App itself running on IIS? (ie IIS is also running on ServerA, and the provisioning app is web based). If so, then you could make use of IIS' pass-through UNC authentication system. Create two accounts with the same name: one on serverA, and one on serverB. In IIS Manager on ServerA, add a virtual directory that points to a share on ServerB. When asked what credentials to use, enter ServerB\AccountYouJustCreated and corresponding password. IIS will use this account when connecting to the remote share. Whether you want to do this or not is another question :-) HTH Cheers Ken -------- Original Message -------- > From: "Michael B.
