Classic ASP .CopyFile "Permission Denied" error on Windows Server 2008, IIS 7

We are upgrading our intranet web server from a Windows Server 2000, IIS 4 environment to Windows Server 2008, IIS 7 environment. As part of the upgrade, I'm modifying a classic ASP application to make it work in the new environment.

One of the pages attempts to create a new Word file by copying a template file (.dot) into a Word file (.doc) in the same directory on the web server, using the command:

fs.CopyFile docRoot & templateFile,docRoot & docName, true

Note - docRoot is an absolute path, not a virtual path.

The destination folder is set to have full permissions for:

  • Everyone
  • Administrators
  • IUSR
  • IWAM accounts

I still get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' 

Permission denied

Just wondering if anyone had seen this, and if there was a workaround available. (I attempted to set a default application user to use my permissions, but that didn't work, either...)

Rafael - adding SYSTEM seemed to do the trick. Running into another issue now (Insufficient memory), but I want to research it thoroughly before bringing it back here as a question... - Jay
Ok good luck... Good to see that my answer works for you - Rafael

the problem in Windows 2008 /2008 R2 is the UAC service that born in Vista era. secures everything in inetpub directory ... as a workarround try to put your file in Users/Public/ directory, modify your path and try again.

another thing you can try is giving file's total control privileges to the IIS_WPG group.
