Re: Server cannot access application directory D:\xxx. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.

Hi,
D: is not a share. It's a local hard disc...

Hi,
I'm getting the following error when trying to start my application
using Internet Explorer:
"Server cannot access application directory D:\xxx. The directory does
not exist or is not accessible because of security settings."
In IIS I have set Directory Security for my application to allow
Anonymous access (using IUSR_<Server>) and Integrated Windows
authentication.
In the web.config i have set impersonation="true" userName="test".
Security settings for directory D:\xxx are the following:
Administrator: Full Control
Anonymous LOGON: Read & Execute; List Folder Contents; Read
ASP.NET Machine Account: Full Control
test (user for impersonation): Full Control
Internet Guest Account: Read & Execute; List Folder Contents; Read
The strange thing is: When I add the "Administrators" group to the
security settings for directory D:\xxx (Full Control), everything
works fine. I have looked up the members of the "Administrators"
group: The only member is the "Administrator" User who already had all
rights on the directory.

I have no problem to add the "Administrators" group to the security
settings of the directory, but I don't know how to explain that to our
customers.
Does anyone have an idea, why that happens?
Thank you,
matthias
