Scripting.FileSystemObject (Problem with Windows 2003 R2)

Strange thing happening with Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 R2

This ASP script below is sitting on a Windows 2000 IIS Server Box and the
fldr was pointing to \\Bradford2\temp which was a Windows 2000 server and
worked great, now I changed the fldr to point to \\Bradford7\temp which is a
Windows 2003 R2 server. After pointing to Windows 2003 R2 box the
FolderExists(fldr) no longer works. The directory is there and all the
permissions are the same from Bradford2 to Bradford7.

Any ideas why Windows 2003 R2 is not working. I found some article of
others having this issues but no fixes.

Dim fldr, fso
fldr = "\\bradford7\temp"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If NOT fso.FolderExists(fldr) Then
' Folder Found
Else
' Folder Not Found
End If

Thank you in advance,
Michael Kintner

Hi,

What happens when you use an IP address instead of bradford7 ?
The R2 firewall is not on is it?

I know you are saying all the permissions are the same, but this is most
likely being caused by a permissions issue, so you may have overlooked
something. Check this out:
