    text
    copied!<p>I am facing a weird issue in IIS 7.0:</p> <p>I have the following virtual directory in IIS: <a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/4iijbb.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://i39.tinypic.com/4iijbb.jpg</a></p> <p><b>and only Windows Authentication mode is enabled on the virtual directory in IIS</b></p> <p>Now if I try to get associated DirectoryEntry for TestV/Folder/file.aspx in this manner:</p> <pre><code>string vDir = @"/TestV/folder/file.aspx"; DirectoryEntry dir = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + serverName + "/W3SVC/1/ROOT" + vDir, @"adminusername", @"password"); dir.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure; try { Console.WriteLine(dir.Name); } catch (Exception exp) { Console.WriteLine(exp.Message); } Console.WriteLine(""); </code></pre> <p>I get the exception: "The system cannot find the path specified"</p> <p>Now if I go back to IIS and then perform the following steps: Right click on TestV/Folder <i>and enable Anonymous authentication mode and then disable it again</i></p> <p>Right click on TestV/Folder/file.aspx <i>and enable Anonymous authentication mode and then disable it again</i></p> <p>Essentially i just performed some manual access on the aspx file Testv/Folder/file.aspx.</p> <p>After the above steps if i re run the program, the code is successfully able to access the directory entry and successfully prints the name (file.aspx)</p> <p>What is the problem here?</p> <p>One more information:</p> <p>I see this behavior on IIS 6.0 also. So it appears like until and unless I do some manual operation in IIS for a folder/file in virtual directory, it does not create the corresponding metadata in the active directory?</p>
