SYMPTOMS
When content for IIS virtual directories is hosted on UNIX servers and is connected using Services for UNIX, files may not be returned or the wrong files may be returned.



CAUSE
IIS converts file paths to uppercase before it calls CreateFileW, and these requests are unsuccessful when the volume that is hosting the content is case-sensitive. This is common for UNIX network file system (NFS) servers because UNIX file systems are typically case-sensitive.



RESOLUTION
If possible, you can disable case-sensitive lookups on the NFS server. Otherwise, use only uppercase characters for the file names that are hosted for IIS.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
