Access Denied when using UNC path share! Domain Controller issue

[Kazmataz]

Hi,

I have set my .net application to impersonate and is installed on a Web Farm of 4 servers. In this application I allow users to upload files to the server. I have it setup so that no matter which server you're on it saves the uploaded file to Web1 using a UNC path share set as a key in web.config \\webserver1\D$\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\.

My application works fine on 3 of the 4 servers, except the last server which is a domain controller. The 4th webserver, the domain controller, can't save the file on the 1st webserver, Web1, or any other server for that matter. Every time I upload a file I get an error that says" Access to the path \\webserver1\D$\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\ is denied." Is this an issue with the domain controller? other servers can connect fine!!

Please help.

Ps. I have tried opening the permission to "Everyone" and it didn't work. I have tried changing the account which ASP.Net worker process runs as in machine.config of the domain controller and that didn't help either. It's the oddest problem I have come across!!!

You should check the registry in local machine, current control set, services,lanmanserver, parameters, there is a DWORD key called AutoShareServer if it is set to 0 you should either delete it or change it to 1
this way you enable or disable Administrative shares.
