Setting Registry Values for
Shared Folders
After you create the virtual server, and before you can
extend it with FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, you must set the following
registry entries to enable your Web server to work with a shared UNC folder:
• NoMachineGroups: determines whether or not FrontPage 2002 Server
Extensions can create local machine accounts for new users. Because local
machine accounts on one server have no rights on another server, you must
disable local machine accounts and use only domain accounts to work with a
shared UNC folder. Set NoMachineGroups to "1" to disable local machine
accounts. Note that because this is a global setting, you should only change
it before you have extended your virtual servers. If you change this setting
after a virtual server has been extended, the administration pages may not
work.
• AllowUNC: specifies whether or not to allow shared UNC folders. You must
set this entry to "1" to enable UNC folder sharing.
Both subkeys are under the following path in the registry:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\All Ports (or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\wow6432node\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\All Ports\ on x64-based computers). If these subkeys do not exist
yet, you can add them as new string values, and then set them to 1.
To configure the registry for the Web server
1. Open the Registry Editor on your Web server computer. Click Start, click
Run, and then type regedit.
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\All
Ports
Note On x64-based computers, the registry key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\wow6432node\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
Extensions\All Ports\
3. If you see the NoMachineGroups and AllowUNC keys, skip to step 4. If not,
you must create these keys as described in the next step.
• Right-click in the right pane of the Registry Editor Window, click New,
and then click String value.
• Type the name for the new entry:
NoMachineGroups
• Right-click in the right pane of the Registry Editor Window, click New,
and then click String value.
• Type the name for the new entry:
AllowUNC
4. In the right pane, right-click NoMachineGroups, and then click Modify.
5. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
6. In the right pane, right-click AllowUNC, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
