I’m trying to get IIS 8 on a brand new Server 2012 up and running to run a .net 4.5 app and I can’t get it to work across drives

Error: 500.19
Module
   IIS Web Core 
Notification
   Unknown 
Handler
   Not yet determined 
Error Code
   0x80070005 
Config Error
   Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions  
Config File
   \\?\D:\callsheet-test\web.config

The current site is just a single file index.html.

If I copy the folder to anywhere on c: like c:\callsheet-test\ or c:\inetpub\callsheet-test it works perfectly once I change the target location in IIS 8 (site > basic settings).

It doesn’t matter if there is an web.config file as a complex mvc/webforms app gives the same error.

I have tried copying the file with permissions and even thought the permissions seem to match for all users. I am still getting this error.

I have deleted the partition and and recreated it as a mount point c:\mount and the same issue happens. Copy the files to c:\notamount and they work fine.

This server is running on a VMware server. Windows 2012 x64 Standard.

    Based on further investigation of the problem (via link in my comment above), I’ve found a workaround via here: change the Group Policy value of “Audit Removable Storage” from “Not Configured” to “No Auditing” and reboot. Bizarre I know. This setting is in Windows Settings/Security Settings/Advanced Audit Policy Configuration/System Audit Policies/Object Access.

    Even though we’re using VMWare and not Hyper-V this workaround still worked for me. Hopefully Microsoft can provide a answer.
