    Default Re: IIS UNC Token

    This is the token used to access files located on a remote UNC fileshare.

    It is set in the MMC snap-in property page Properties > Home Directory >
    Connect As > Network Security Credentials (only visible when "A share
    located on another computer" is selected in Home Directory"). It is also
    available in the metabase keys /W3CSVC/<instance>/Root/.../UNCUserName and
    /W3CSVC/<instance>/Root/.../UNCUserPass .

    Geneally, you should avoid using UNC fileshares for web app files. It's
    complicates security and adds a performance bottleneck. IMHO, best practice
    is to host the files locally unless you need a common, shared directory
    between multiple hosts in a web farm. They're are plenty of great
    operations products to replicate content between web farm hosts (Application
    Center, RoboCopy, Content Replication Service).
