IIS setup for SMB share

Question

_{Wednesday, July 17, 2019 11:11 AM}

I just posted this to StackOverflow but figured I'd post here as I believe someone with expertise of IIS may be able to help with this issue...

I've got an SMB share setup in Windows located at  C:\vagrant\FileShare\site1 which is mapped using Vagrant from a host machine via Hyper-V.

I can read/write/modify any file or folder from host or guest **successfully **but as soon as I setup a site in IIS I get permission errors.

I setup my site in IIS manually with default settings, default application pool, and the correct path. I also assigned read/write permissions for IUSR, NETWORK, NETWORK SERVICE, and IIS_IUSRS just to avoid any permission issues but as you can see from the screenshot above, an error is being thrown by IIS.

What permissions should I be setting to access an SMB share via IIS? 

Thank you

Hi joel,

According to your description,it seems that the IIS site has no permission to run config files in the folder which you share with SMB. So I suggest that you could just add the  permission as everyone in folder and also enable full control.

You could see as below:
