The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q257407

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Team Folders Wizard to create a team folder, you may either be prompted for your user name and password or you may receive the following error message when you publish your files to the Web server:
Web Publishing Error:
Error: occurred during HTTP publishing of Web files. Select OK to try another destination to publish your files to or Cancel to exit the wizard.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the permissions that are necessary to publish files to the target folder are not enabled properly.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps on the computer running Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS):
  1. In Windows Explorer, locate the InetPub folder.
  2. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Security tab, and then click Permissions.
  4. Click Everyone, click Remove, click OK, and then click OK again.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the Wwwroot folder and, if applicable, the subfolder that you created under the Wwwroot folder to store your team folders data.
  6. Restart the server.
  7. In Windows Explorer, grant the Everyone group Full Control permission for the InetPub and Wwwroot folders. If you created a subfolder for your team folders under InetPub\Wwwroot, then grant the Everyone group permissions for that subfolder also.
