Install the ASP.NET application along the UNC path, do you think this is possible?

Question

I plan to deploy an ASP.NET application to a UNC path and create a virtual directory pointing to a UNC path.

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

\\server01\myFirstApplication\

Instead:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myFirstApplication

Do you see if we have any complications?

Answer 1

There should be no problem if your application pool account has the necessary permissions for the network resource. Depending on the location of the shared resource with respect to the IIS server, this may require the use of a domain account for the application pool.
