xWebVirtualDirectory setting PhysicalPath to UNC #94

I ran a few tests using a UNC directory for the virtual directory and this all works fine for me. For example the bellow example resulted in a virtual directory being created and serving files from the UNC directory. Website = "Default Web Site"
WebApplication = ''
PhysicalPath = "\\IIS02\remote_vdir"
Name = 'UNCExample'
Ensure = 'Present'Could you share what you used? |
|
In my case, the error occurs with the following configuration: Configuration ConfigurationTest
{
Import-DscResource -Module xWebAdministration
xWebsite DefaultWebSite
{
Ensure = 'Present'
Name = 'Default Web Site'
State = 'Started'
}
Log LogUserName
{
Message = "USERNAME = $env:USERNAME"
}
Script ScriptUserName
{
TestScript =
{
Write-Verbose "USERNAME = $env:USERNAME"
return $true
}
SetScript = { }
GetScript = { @{} }
}
xWebVirtualDirectory NewVirtualDir
{
Name = 'VirtualDirTest'
Website = 'Default Web Site'
WebApplication = ''
PhysicalPath = '\\winserver2012r2disks576.file.core.windows.net\filesharetest'
Ensure = 'Present'
DependsOn = '[xWebsite]DefaultWebSite'
}
}If I am logged as rosberg and my computer name is WinServer2016, the result is: The log for the resource [Script]ScriptUserName shows that DSC runs under the LocalSystem account. So, the error is probably because you do not have the drive mapped for this user. Configuration ConfigurationTest
{
Import-DscResource –ModuleName PSDesiredStateConfiguration
Import-DscResource -ModuleName xWebAdministration
xWebsite DefaultWebSite
{
Ensure = 'Present'
Name = 'Default Web Site'
State = 'Started'
}
Script MapDrive
{
TestScript =
{
Test-Path W:
}
SetScript =
{
$acctKey = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "<key>" -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "Azure\winserver2012r2disks576", $acctKey
New-PSDrive -Name W -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\winserver2012r2disks576.file.core.windows.net\filesharetest" -Credential $credential
}
GetScript = { @{} }
}
xWebVirtualDirectory NewVirtualDir
{
Ensure = 'Present'
Name = 'VirtualDirTest'
Website = 'Default Web Site'
WebApplication = ''
PhysicalPath = '\\winserver2012r2disks576.file.core.windows.net\filesharetest'
DependsOn = '[xWebsite]DefaultWebSite', '[Script]MapDrive'
}
} |

@rosberglinhares Maybe the resource should have an option to connect to the UNC path prior setting up the virtual directory? Maybe there could be an credential parameter that triggers this |
Setting a PhysicalPath to UNC for a VirtualDirectory fails.
Perhaps we need to change
New-WebVirtualDirectory -Site $Website -Application $WebApplication -Name $Name -PhysicalPath $PhysicalPathfor
$virtualDirectory = Get-WebVirtualDirectoryInternal -Site $Website -Name $Name -Application $WebApplication
$virtualDirectoryPath = "IIS:\Sites$Website$Name"
New-Item $virtualDirectoryPath -Type VirtualDirectory -PhysicalPath $PhysicalPath
