IIS to Access DB on different server
I have an IIS4 application running on NT4 server. It talks to an access database using ODBC. While the database resides on the web server, it works fine, however, when I move the database to a share on another NT server, I get a Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] The Microsoft Jet database
engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened
exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I am not using NT challenge/response, and the anonymous IUSR_computername exists on both servers with the same password. Using server manager on the second server, I can see that IIS is attempting to connect with no username, and so the connection is being refused. How can I force IIS to use the anonymous IUSR_machine name to connect to the second server?
TIA for any help.
