    Cannot verify access to path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

     Hello,

    When creating a web site I clicked "Test Settings" and:

    1. It passed Authentication

    2. It didn't pass Authorization. I get the following error:

     "Cannot verify access to path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\"

    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."

    What is wrong?

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks,

    Miguel

    In most cases, this is a false alarm which you can ignore.

    Please does anyone have an elaborate answer to this problem? I have the same problem and I cannot test my websites which are created in the wwwroot directory. If the problem cannot be ignored what are the alternative solutions to this problem?

    Best regards

    For built-in accounts, it can't verify it as it is only valid at run-time. The explaination is exactly stated in the error msgs :)
