  • 1. Can't see the security sheet of directory on "proprities"
    Hi everybody My entire system was formatted using NTFS, how is it possible that I cannot see the security tab on the files "properties" sheet? I want to change accees rights Thank you for your help.
  • 2. HTTP status 401: Unauthorized
    Not sure this is the right group to post my question. We are using windows 2003+ asp.net. We have a virtual directory with the "Anonymous Access" disabled. We are using "Integrated Windows Authentication" and "Baisc authentication" for this virtual directory. This virtual directory is automatically updated by a build system. We keep on seeing the 401 error for some files, especially the included js files and css files. Even though the brower will get these files after 2-3 tried, it singnificantly slows down the performance. If we enable the "Anonymous Access", the problem is gone. Can anyone give us some hint how to solve this problem? Thanks, Michael
  • 3. IIS6 - Virtual Directory to UNC Share error 1326
    Trying to map an IIS virtual directory to an area on a separate file server. The machine running IIS is running stand-alone (no domain). The file server is in a domain. The virtual directory is mapped using the Connect As structure using a domain account and password known to the file server. The area on the file server has ACLs which allow this domain account to read the area. When I explore the area in MMC its fine. However, when I browse the site I either get 401.3 or 500 and 1326 in the event log.

PROPFIND from WebDAV clients to IIS recently gets 405

Hello,

I've been working with WebDAV on IIS 6 on a Windows 2003 Server box.  My 
client program and also other WebDAV clients such as DAVExplorer were able 
to connect and retrieve properties of files on the W03 box.

Recently our I.T. installed a bunch of security patches onto the box.  And 
the WebDAV clients that I use now get a 405 (Method Not Allowed) whenever 
they attempt a PROPFIND command on the server.  DAVExplorer actually 
doesn't even connect now since the first thing it normally does is to use 
PROPFIND to get a subdirectory listing.

Are there any settings on the Web share that I'm not aware of?  The Web 
share currently has Read/Write/Browse turned on.  The actual directory on 
an NTFS has Full Control granted to the "Users" group which should apply to 
all.

Thanks,
Van

Well,

some guy used webdav to change all the security settings 
on a brand new 2003 server install.

he created an admin account and disbabled access from the 
network for others.

I turned off anon access for ftp, which I can keep that 
way, and www, which I want anon access for eventually.

What else should I do?  Is there a patch out for this?  I 
ran windows update *prior* to this hack, and I've since 
run the baseline security analyzer.  I'm about as up to 
date as I can find.

TIA

3.405 Error with WebDAV - affecting OWA 

We've recently run the transition pack to move from SBS Premium to
seperate components, all still on the same server at present. Since
doing so we've been unable to use the Outlook Web Access premium
client. I've tracked this down to IIS returning a 405 HTTP Verb is not
allowed when a HTTP SEARCH request is made to IIS. The log file for IIS
shows the following:

I'm not sure as to whether this is an issue in IIS or with Exchange
(hence posting similar question here and Exchange newsgroup)
As far as I can work out SEARCH is a WebDAV request - what is the best
way of checking if WebDAV is working correctly? And does anyone have
any ideas on how to rectify this?

Thanks,

5.problem with webdav client Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir 

Hi
I have a problem with web dav client for 
xp:Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600 
It does not show the displayname but the url of folder, which is not the same.
This is what happens:
I've mappen the web dav drive to my network places. If i open explorer, 
browse to networkplaces and click on the drive. The subfolders displayname 
get the last part of the url as displayname and not the <displayname> property
If i make a shortcut and then opens it through that path, it uses "Microsoft 
Data Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV" which displays it correctly.
They recieve exactly the same response 

Is there any fix for this, and if not, can i force a certain client to be 
used always?
