    Login Failure for Site mapped to UNC Share

    Hi,

    I have a site automatically pointed to a unc share with a valid user and password specified.
    When I logon to IIS Manager and click on the site it says Logon Failure

    To get it to work I have to map a unc share using Map Network Dirve and connect to the share.
    The problem is that everytime I logon to the machine although it will map the drive it doesn't automiatically logon to the unc share. How do I get the password to be remembered?

    Are you using domain credentials or local machine credentials? Is the user you are using to logon to remote machine a valid user on your IIS server as well?

    Thanks,
    Kanwal

    It is a local user and yes it is also configured on the remote machine.

    Enable auditing on the remote and local machine.  Audit Account Login events and Audit Logon events failures can help record data in the security event logs.
