I am trying to create a web folder - not a network share you connect via
SMB, the kind that you connect to via WebDAV. In Explorer, there is tab
called 'web sharing' that you can manipulate to create this type of 'share'.
I want to do it via VBS/ADSI. I have spent much time on Google and
searching MSDN, but maybe I am looking for the wrong terms.
Help?

A "web folder" is just an HTTP-accessible URL namespace with WebDAV
enabled.
Thus, all you need to do is have WebDAV enabled on IIS, which varies
depending on IIS version.
- It is automatically enabled prior to IIS6 and difficult to disable
- IIS6 has it disabled by default and you have to toggle a bit in "Web
Service Extensions" to enable it
- IIS7 does not yet support WebDAV
Optionally, you can create any virtual directory structure/namespace
you want in IIS. That's the actual "web folder". That UI tab in
Explorer is hard-coded to create a virtual directory of that given
name off the root of the default website, but in reality it can be
anything.
Finally, you try to connect via WebDAV protocol to that "web folder"
via the name http://server/named-vdir

So, all I need is the 'virtual' folder in IIS, and it works?
Thanks, David!

I'm getting an error on the following line of my asp:
Set IIsWebVDirRootObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/357126451/Root")
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied: 'GetObject'
/create/create_webspace.asp, line 75
The user that is running this page has full access to the virtual website.
Thoughts?

I have corrected the above as a permissions issue. My script will create
the folder and the virtual web folder in IIS.
However, it still doesn't show as a 'web folder'.
??
If I go into explorer and choose the 'web folder' tab, it works. Is there a
programatic way to do that? (or create that effect?)
Thanks

1) IIS 6
2) WebDAV is ALLOWED
3) I create a folder within inetpub/wwwroot
I can't connect to it via WebDAV
If I go into Explorer under the 'web sharing' tab and 'share' it, I CAN
connect.
Basically I need to do this programatically.

If I create the virtual directory programtically, the metabase has this:
If I create it via the UI tab in explorer, it creates the following:
AppIsolated="2" AppRoot="/LM/W3SVC/357126451/Root/duffeyba"
AuthFlags="AuthNTLM" DirBrowseFlags="EnableDirBrowsing | DirBrowseShowDate |
DirBrowseShowTime | DirBrowseShowSize | DirBrowseShowExtension |
DirBrowseShowLongDate | EnableDefaultDoc" Path="E:\wwwroot\duffeyba" />
Seems that is a difference.

Oh yeah, you also need to have DirBrowsing, "Script Code Access", and
"Write" permissions enabled (it seems that you figured some of them
out". Those are the per-vdir settings to allow WebDAV's "Translate: f"
to function and make a request to http://server/vdir/filename.ext to
retrieve the contents of the resource instead of executing it on the
server (if required).

I don't see an attribute in the metabase that matches the 'script code
access' - thoughts?
I can write adsi to try to make the metabase look exactly like it does when
I use the UI Web Sharing tab.

The property you need to be manipulating:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525016.aspx
Notice the attribute in metabase.xml file which is different is named
exactly the same as the ADSI Property in documentation.

Jay,
I am also trying to create a webfolder automatically for all users. Can you
share what solution you ended up doing? Ideally, a vb script was what I was
seeking. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks
