This can mean more problems... 1) there can be a different version of operating system on each machine - can cause this problem 2) there is some other firewall or security device that should be set for either client or target machine 3) your web service uses some sort of limited permissions or you did it as a Full Trust application and didn't set up those things properly
I would recommend you following procedure: 1) check if client machine really have the permission to create directory or data at all 2) try to rework your service to be a common app and try it on the client machine again 3) search for firewalls and other software that can cause this problem 4) check MS KnowledgeBase or Google for someone with similar problem. eg I found this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/asmxandxml/thread/fdb3c1f0-9e23-493b-ab6a-1c7e69c7305f this: http://forums.asp.net/p/1305659/2568408.aspx#2568408 and this: http://vstoolsforum.com/forums/p/325/889.aspx 2010/2/10 Dave <[email protected]> > I’m having an issue with my web service, it’s running under identity > of NetworkService, and it’s trying to create a subdirectory on another > machine (see UNC path below).
