Bernard, thanks for your help/resposne.
I "re-tested" and found that there was a rather severe ID10T error.
IIS Perms: Read, Write, Log
NTFS Perms: Deny Write
Put Result: Access Denied
IIS Perms: Read, Write, Log
NTFS Perms: Modify
Put Result: Can write to directory.
IIS Perms: Read, Log
NTFS Perms: Modify
Put Result: Access Denied
IIS Perms: Read, Write, Log
NTFS Perms: Read & Execute/List/Read
Put Result: Access Denied
As you would expect.
Anyhow, I think it's time to fess up.
During my testing i was enabling the "modify" permission, that of course
also enables the "write" permission. However, when unchecking the "modify"
permission it leaves the "write" permission enabled... thus the ID10T.
Thanks again for your time and I hope this helps someone else out.
