Server Error in '/' Application.Access to the path <path> is denied" when you log on to Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
===
Cause:
This issue occurs because the Network Service group does not have sufficient permissions to the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder when you install IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET before you install Active Directory.
To resolve this issue, follow the steps for the version of ASP.NET that you are running.
ASP.NET 1.1
1) Start -->Run -->type cmd -->click OK.
2) Switch to the Drive
# cd C :\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322 folder.
3)Add the appropriate permissions to the Network Service group for the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder. To do this, type the following line, and then press Enter
# aspnet_regiis -ir
4) Type exit to quit.
For ASP.NET 2.0 follow the same steps use "v2.0.50727" instead of "v1.1.4322"
Work around:
To prevent this issue from occurring, install Active Directory before you install IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET.
