IIS/Virtual directory on UNC and computer domain account
am 13.09.2007 15:25:49 von ML
Hi,
I have 3 servers :
- An XP workstation running IIS 6 a Windows 2003 domain
- An Windows file server in the same domain
- An IIS Server NOT in the domain.
I setup a virtual directory using an UNC to a share on the file
server.
Using a network mount, my account can connect to the network share and
access files.
If I try througth IIS, I get a authentfication box under IIS and I get
a 401.1 error
My question is : does the IIS server have to be in the domain ?
I did not see this pre requisite on the net
Thanks for any help

This URL should address your knowledge gap.

Network mount is *not* how to get the scenario to work. Depending on
security requirements of the file share access, IIS server *may* need
to be in a trusted domain of the Windows file server, but there is no
hard requirement to be in the same domain or even in a domain at all.
Thus, domain membership is not a pre-requisite, but the answer to your
question always depends on details of your situation...
