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.
