Isolated FTP Users - Getting Error "could not access the home directory /"

Group,

This was working fine and all of a sudden, it is no longer. Did a recent
Windows Update break something?

Any help is appreciated,

Ray

what isolation mode you use ? AD or standard ?
Quick check is to get filemon from sysinternals.com, run it on the server,
try login again. and check where does IIS FTP is sending the user too.. also
check if there's permission related error.

if no luck, check event viewer to see if there's any relevant error entry.

Bernard,

I discovered it happened after I changed the Admin pw. I changed it back
and all works again.
I would like to change the Admin pw - what do I need to do then to keep the
AD isolation mode working?

Thanks,

Ray

In this case, make sure after you change the admin password, you will modify
the IIS metabase setting to reflect the new changes.... refer
