When adding a UNC virtual to IIS 6.0. Does the user account that does the
connection need to be part of a service account to work through IIS? I'm
running to standalone servers and server A is the web and Server B is the
resource server. Server B is sharing the drive for a particular user as
setup on Server B. I add the resource to IIS with the U/P and can view
through IIS Manager, but, when trying to access throug the web, I'm not able
to access the resources.

It all depends on configuration.

If you use the \\server\share syntax for the UNC directory in IIS, it
should work. If you map the \\server\share to a drive letter and use
the drive letter, it won't work because the drive letter mapping is
specific to the user, not entire server. IIS runs code as a different
user for security purposes, so it will never see your drive letter
mapping.

Hmm, thanks and I read through the document, but I'm running into problems.
I've put the user account on both the file server and the web server, and,
when I create the virtual in IIS, I can see the files, but when I try to get
them through the browser, I get a 500 error. I've tried turning off
integrated and setting to only basic authentication, but I'm missing
something...

Any ideas?

Actually, I figured it out. The first dialogue box that pops up about
security, when setting up a virtual, through me.

Thanks.
