...

tried on the local development box and it had issues like this

until I gave permissions like described in Article ID 329986, scroll down,
Method A.

It is a double hop as I did the test at the bottom in the Quick Test section
.



Code snippets:

Web.config for web service having the error shown above...

<identity impersonate="true" />
...

SCHEMA= "IIsWebVirtualDir";
mRootSubPath = "/W3SVC/1/Root";

...

DirectoryEntry deRoot= new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + "localhost"
+  mRootSubPath,winAcctId,winAcctPwd,Authen
ticationTypes.Secure);

...

if (Directory.Exists("c:\temp\Eskimo\") == false)
{

Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\temp\Eskimo\");

}

deRoot.RefreshCache();

DirectoryEntry deNewVDir =
deRoot.Children.Add("Eskimo",mSchema);

deNewVDir.Properties["Path"].Insert(0,"c:\temp\Eskimo\");

...
deNewVDir.Properties["AccessRead"][0] =true;
deNewVDir.Properties["AccessWrite"][0] = true;
deNewVDir.Properties["AccessExecute"][0] = true;
deNewVDir.Properties["AuthAnonymous"][0] = false;
deNewVDir.Properties["AuthBasic"][0] = false;
deNewVDir.Properties["AuthNTLM"][0] = true;
deNewVDir.Properties["ContentIndexed"][0] = false;
deNewVDir.Properties["EnableDirBrowsing"][0] = true;
..
deNewVDir.Invoke("AppCreate",true);

deNewVDir.CommitChanges();
deRoot.CommitChanges();

deNewVDir.Close();

deRoot.Close();
...

Now: in a windows application it works great!  I have a DLL project and a
windows app test project and the web service accessing the DLL project.
In a web service I get the error listed above...
