Permissions Issue

[lorena]

I do all of my development on our intranet server. I have a network drive mapped to the server and, in the past, I was always able to create a new project on the intranet server and go from there.

Our intranet server had not been rebooted in a while. In between the time it was last rebooted and today, I had to change my network password (*ugh*). The server was rebooted a day or two ago and now, when I try to create a new project, I get this message:

"Web Access Failed"

With this error returned:

"Unable to create web project 'blah'. Unable to create web location 'intranet.blah.com\webApp1'. Access is denied"

Where are these permissions created? I have been working with our network guys to try to restore my access (initially, I couldn't even map a drive to the server - it was seeing me as coming in as "IUSR")

I would really appreciate any help on this as I am tearing my hair out!

We managed a work around by adding my account to the server's power user account. I guess the answer to it all is, if you are a developer, never change your password! Hardly secure though...
