IIS >> IIS and cross-domain network resource access permissions I have a web app in one domain trying to access files on a server in
another domain. What permissions do I need to set on the files so
that IIS can access them? The servers are both 2003 and the app is
VS .NET 2003 written in VB. Thanks!

IIS >> IIS and cross-domain network resource access permissions a) Do the domains trust each other?

b) If the answer to (a) is "yes" then this is nothing more than a simple
cross-domain permissions problem to solve. The user account that you are
running your application under on Server1 needs to be given permissions to
the share on Server2. The fact that the machines are in different domain is
irrelevant if there is a two-way (or even a one-way) trust between the
domains.
