IIS Shared Configuration gMSA Credentials

Question

Im trying to use shared configuration for IIS Nodes in my environment, and i want to use Group managed Service Account Credentials to Achieve that.

when i apply the credintial for the Application Pool As MyDomain\GmsaAccount$ it works well , However when i try to do the same in the shared configuration.

it shows an error message "Cannot Connect to the specified path, Make sure that the path and credentials are valid.

I have double checked the path and the gMSA user information and all is good, but somehow im not able to connect using any gMSA Account.

The IIS Version 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2
The File Share Server is on Windows Server 2012 R2 and all on the same domain

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

Answer 1

For iis 8 on 2012 I had the same issue.

What I did was to leave the username and password fields blank.

It worked and a popup came up for the password.
