Folks, I just created a web site virtual directory in IIS on my Win2008
server. The path of this virtual directory points to something like

 

\\OTHERMACHINE\shared\stuff

 

When I go to a client machine and browse to this folder I get a Windows
Authentication prompt, which I discard and IIS says 401 - Unauthorized:
Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

 

On the web server procmon shows

 

ACCESS DENIED \\OTHERMACHINE\shared\stuff\index.htm

NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

Generic Read

Impersonating NT AUTHORITY\IUSR

 

To try and get around this I've spend hours adding every friggin' account I
can think of to the permissions, but nothing makes any difference. I've even
tried everyone, authenticated users, IUSR, websever\IIS_IUSERS, and many
more stupid combinations and absolutely nothing changes the problem.

 

What trick am I possibly missing?

 

Greg
