  Cannot verify access path Reply Contact hello i have this message :   "The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again. " I granted access to NetworkService account but this dont work . how can i grant access to this built-in account. ???? how can i  verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path.  how can i set <domain>\<computer_name>$  to have Read access to the physical path.

  Re: Cannot verify access path Reply Contact From the message, the remote UNC path where the files / folders are located doesn't have proper access.  Log onto the machine, grant the DomainName\Machine$ (you might need to enable computers) in the dialog box.  You handle granting permissions to machine accounts the same as user accounts.   Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget

  Re: Cannot verify access path Reply Contact Hi Steve:  Why are you assuming he has a remote configuration, i.e. IIS on ServerA attempting to configure a website on ServerB?  I've seen a few posts with such an answer and they spin off into how to setup remote accounts to work with local accounts, etc. Actually, I do not even see that he on a domain.  It could be that he is on a "home" LAN, i.e. WORKGROUP, MSHOME, etc., so the last part of the error message is not relevant.  I mention this because I am on such a setup using my own notebook running Vista x64, but am not able to configure a website, web application, or virtual site without encoutering the same security message. With this being the case do you have any recommendations?  I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have.  I am not sure if this is relevant but I have both v2.x and v3.5 of .NET installed, UAC enabled, Visual Studio 2005 & 2008 installed along with SQL 2005 & 2008, and finally SP1 for Vista x64 (which I have seen have caused others such security issues).  I am observing the Event Log as well as using Process Monitor, and ... finally, have added the built-in Network Service account with full access, and IIS_USRS with "Read & Execute" and down permissions, since the default application pool's Managed Pipeline Mode is "Interactive" and the Process Model Indentity is "Integrated" (Pass thru authentication works for the DefaultAppPool ). Thank you very much!
