Install an ASP.NET application on a UNC path, do you think it's possible?

Question

I am planning to deploy an ASP.NET application to a UNC path and create a virtual directory that points to the UNC path.

For example the location of the ASP.NET application would be:

\\server01\myFirstApplication\

Instead of:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myFirstApplication

Do you see if we have any complication with this?

Answer 1

Shouldn't be a problem so long as your application pool account has the necessary permissions on the network share. Depending on the location of the share with respect to the IIS server, this may require that you use a domain account for the application pool.
