IIS virtual folders

[Félix López]

Hello,

I have 2 servers A and B:
- Server A: W2000Server, domain controller, running IIS with a web page
working.
- Server B: W2000Server, it does not belong to any domain but it can be
reached by server A through local network, contains files I want to publish
with the IIS of server A.

My problem is I cannot create a virtual folder in my web site at the IIS of
server A in order to publish the contents of server B, because access is
denied. I have done this before with servers which don´t belong to any
domain, so I suppose it's a problem about the domain of server A (domain
users, access rules, etc).

Any idea how I must do it?
Thanks!!

When you create the virtual folder on Server A, you need to supply user
credentials that will be valid on Server B (eg ServerB\UserName). Server A
uses those credentials to connect across the network to server B to retrieve
files.
