Throw it out here to the masses and see what we come up with.

I suppose it depends upon the definition of "good", but I know my way around it a fair bit.

ok here goes, I have 2008 server running iis7.5 in a DMZ, I have a netware server on my network that i've created a CIFS share on. I created a VD on IIS to unc to that CIFS share. I can test the connection and it passes, i can unc from that 2008 machine right to it no problem, but when I try to browse that VD i get a 404 error.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.


I've done this before with no issues...not sure what I could be missing. I don't think i need pass-through for this to work. Could directory browsing need to be enabled?

That could be your issue if your VD has default documents specified and those documents are not in the directory (hence the 404-Not Found error if it's looking for index.htm or default.asp or something). I would turn on directory browsing since it sounds like you are using it as a share.

Make sure that the account that IIS is running under has permissions to that share.

Most likely, by default it is running under a local machine account (IUSR_xxxx) and has no permissions to anything on other machines in your domain/forest.

Also, yes, you may need to enable Directory Browsing. It is off by default in IIS7+ -- you should ONLY have to do this if you are not loading a default document and just want to see if you can read that share's contents via IIS. If you are attempting to load a specific file from that share, directory browsing is not the issue and can (should) remain disabled.

Yeah not using a specific file, its a directory of images and documents. I don't have a web.config or any default doc specified. So it sounds like directory browsing might be what i'm missing.
