IIS6 ASP.NET code on remote file share??????

I have tried everything to get this to work. It seems that the in IIS6 Framework 1.1 its the worker process credentials that are being used to access the code on the remote server. How can I change the worker process credential to a least prevelidged account so I an create a mirror account on the box with the code? The Servers are not in a domain. We have 4 web servers and I want the code in only one place. This seemed easier in IIS 5 from what I have been reading. I can find no info on how to do this in IIS 6 but lots of stuff for 1.0 and IIS5. <br><br>Brian

Thanks for the link. We are running IIS 6 in Native mode though and the App is running under 1.1. I called MS on this and they think the problem is that the servers are not in a domain. They are going to set this up in there lab and get back with me on Monday. I find it very hard to believe that MS has not tested this simple setup in a workgroup environment. I realy do not want to setup AD just for this in production. <br><br>Brian

Hi Brian,<br><br>Try this step below. this is what i did at home, i had a RC candidate 2 and a win2k server doing the file serving and was able to get remote content deployed.
