help needed with webdav, web folders, IIS & permissions

**baronne** · 12th March 2007, 05:07 PM

I'm trying to setup WebDAV and I am really struggling with it. I want to allow users remote access to their files, but I need a bit of hand-holding to go through setting this up. I think my problem is coming from IIS & permissions, but I'm not sure.
I have created a web application with it's home directory pointing to the UNC share of the home folders on the network. I also got a handy script which will redirect the currently logged on user to their home share so ideally a user browses in from home to http://extranet.ourdomain.co.uk it will redirect them to http://extranet.ourdomain.co.uk/dfs/home/<currently logged in username> and show the web folders.

Can anyone guide me through this with permissions, etc. etc.
Many thanks

What script?
I have been doing our webdav work here. What issues you having?
What DC versions and IIS server version?

hi,
basically I just can't seem to get it working, I really some help from scratch:
we're trying to allow remote access to users' personal files (My Documents) and shared departmental files. I have got DFS setup on the network and I use this to point the web application to the DFS UNC path, eg. "http://extranet.domain.co.uk/dfs/home/<username>"
I've got Windows Server 2003 Standard DCs with IIS 6.
I think I've setup trust relationships, but again any assistance right from scratch would be good.
oh yes.. and here's the script I use:

<HTML>

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function clicklink()
{
link.click();
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onload="javascript:clicklink();">

<% ParseLogonUser = Split(request.servervariables("LOGON_USER"),"\",-1,1) %>

/<any path to root of users' folders>/<% response.write(ParseLogonUser(UBound(ParseLogonUse r))) %>" id=link>open folder

</BODY>
</HTML>

I'm having real troubles with permissions in particular. I am trying to point my home directory to a UNC share on a DFS path. I've done the delegation thingy in AD for the server-to-server trust thinggy majig wotsit.
