Vista - FolderExists and UNC path

Hi All,

I have the follow situation:


In may Server A i have test asp page with the following code


<%
mImportDirectory = "\\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$"
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
response.write mImportDirectory"="&fso.FolderExists(mImportDirectory)
%>


when I test the page into the server with my user, the result of
FolderExists is "True", but when I test it from another PC (not the
server), the result is "False".


The share permissions and the security permissions on \
\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$ is everybody fullcontrol.


The IIS site is seted to use the Integrated Windows security, so in
both case my username of windows was used.


Any idea?


Thanks

dir \\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$
if exist \\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$ (echo Folder found) else (echo Folder not
found)

Hi,

When I ran this command from the server logged with my user it
works, when I ran this command form my PC too.
The problem is when I ran the asp page from my PC using an Internet
Explorer.

I post the problem here, (not in the ASP group) becouse I think
that the problem is related to vbscript code or permissions.

Thanks

Traditionally ASP uses the IUSR_<machinename> account so try mapping a drive
using that username and password or assigning permissions to that account or
changing to a different one if you don't know or can't change the password.
(It's also difficult giving permissions on a remote machine to a local
account, you need to create one on the remote machine with identical name
and password.)
When you've sorted out what's happening you can decide how to proceed
bearing in mind that giving the ASP account higher privileges can be
dangerous from a security stand point.

Hi Joe,

When I test my page into the server I am using my own network user
and when I test it from my PC machine too, so the security configured
in the IIS and the security of the shared folder is not the problem.
In both situation the result is diferent, in the first situation,
the page give me "true" as result, and the other give me "false".
