RE: Win 2000 service needs to access Win 2003 Web Server data

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Charles,

I don't think this would be it as IIS is not involved in this case, the 2
servers are directly networked together and the web service is trying to
access the data across the network.

The serice runs under an administrators account that I have used to map a
drive on the Windows 2000 server from the Windows 2003 Web Server.

Any other ideas?

Hi, Mike,
Thanks for your post!

This issue should be caused by lack of permission of the account
IUSR_[machinename], which is anonymous access
to IIS. The file folder should be assigned read permission to
IUSR_[machinename].

For security consideration, such access is not recommended. I recommend you
develop another webservice for reading local files on the windows 2003
Server. The webservice exposes an interface to other applications. Also,
you can add custom validations for that.

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know. It's my
pleasure to be of assistance.
