IIS Server Security, Virtual Directory Access Denied

1. Error creating Virtual Directories - Access Denied

I am having problems creating virutal directories in IIS. 
They get created but are displayed with a RED STOP Icon. 
In the even log there is an entry that says....

====================================================
The server was unable to add the virtual root '/asdf/' 
for the directory 'D:\hosted\MySite\Picts' due to the 
following error: Access is denied.  The data is the error 
code. 
=====================================================

What is going on here. I have checked to make sure that 
the IUSER account has access to the folder that I am 
trying to add. I'm not sure what else to do. Any Ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

2. Virtual directory "access denied"

3. access denied error when accessing virtual directories

I created some virtual directories in Internet services 
manager, but when I try to access them through the web, I 
get a 2 line login box and then an Error 403 "you are not 
authorized to view this page". I can access these folders 
on the internal network. They show up in the Internet 
Services Manager just like the Exchange folders. I tried 
with several accounts including administrator with the 
same result. OWA works fine with the same logins. What am 
I missing? I am running Win 2000 SBS w/SP1 and SP3 on the 
Exchange component. 
Thank You

5. Create IIS Virtual Directory on Remote Server - Access Denied

I have scoured the net and the only solution seems to be to spawn a thread
with a user identity that has these rights.
Only problem is that I can't figure out how to do this. Does anyone have an
example to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.

7. deny access to IIS virtual directory

I'm running Windows Server 2003.

On the IIS server, I have the local path c:\intranetnews shared as a
virtual directory for the active website. 

I have anonymous access enabled for the directory, so that users
aren't prompted for credentials. One global security group, Project
Contractors, is denied access to that directory via NTFS permissions.
Every user can open that portion of the site in IE, including Jay
Adams, who is a member of Project Contractors. Why? 

All I can figure is Jay is being treated as an anonymous user instead
of his logon credentials.

If that's the case, the MSPress MCSE book is wrong. This is part of an
exercise that says that given this configuration, Jay should be denied
access.

Thanks,
Dave
