Hi,

When you are using server.MapPath to access the UNC share via FSO in
ASP, the 'Connect As' account set in IIS mmc doesn't impact here. You
have to grant the ASP page's execution context with permission on the
share folder.

For example, if anonymous access is enabled, the ASP page is running
with IUSR_<machinename> account by default. This is a local account
which shouldn't have the permission on remote share. Therefire you
should change the anonymous account to a domain account.

To perform a test, you can temporarily disable anonymous access and
other authentications, only enable Basic authentication on the ASP
application, then access with your domain\admin credential to test if
the script can work properly.

Thanks.

Best regards,
