Had a strange problem today with WebDAV. I installed sccm as i normally do. After I got the console up and running I noticed that the Management Point failed to install on the server. The log said:
The WebDAV server extension is either not installed or not configured properly.
Solution: Make sure WebDAV is installed and enabled. Make sure there is an authoring rule that allow "All users" read access to "All content". Make sure the WebDAV settings "Allow anonymous property queries" and "Allow property queries with infinite depth" are set to "true" and "Allow Custom Properties" is set to false.
I checked things out and everything appeared correctly, but still no cigar. I then found out that the XML file that IIS writes to actually never got changed when I changed settings in IIS. The file was located here:
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\schema\WebDAV_schema.xml
I then checked the security rights on the file and noticed that SYSTEM and Administrators only had read access……. Okay. So I changed the rights to full control for both SYSTEM and Administrators. I then changed the settings in IIS and voila. It worked.
