Access is Denied ErrMsg to Subdirectory Using Windows NT Challenge/Response

• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

WORKAROUND

To work around this, use one of the following methods:

• Grant sufficient permissions for the user in the root of the drive.



• Upgrade to IIS 4.0, which fixes this problem.
