Hi all,

We're finding continuous exceptions in our event viewer on our live box to the following exception:

[snippet]

Process information:

Process ID: 3916

Process name: w3wp.exe

Account name: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

Exception information:

Exception type: HttpException

Exception message: Path 'PROPFIND' is forbidden.

Thread information:

Thread ID: 14

Thread account name: OURDOMAIN\Account

Is impersonating: True

Stack trace:

at System.Web.HttpMethodNotAllowedHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)

at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()

at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)

Other Specs: Windows Server 2003 R2 & IIS 6.0

We've narrowed it down to occuring when people try to access shares on the box from within the network, and have discovered (we think) that its due to the WebDAV web services extension being previously disabled by past staff. The exceptions are being thrown when trying to access directories that are virtual dirs in IIS, and plain old UNC network shares

What the implications for enabling the WebDAV extensions on our live web server?

And will this solve our problems with the exceptions in our event log?
