All.
The network share is not running IIS, it is not running anything but is simply used as a share where all images and media files are uploaded too.

In IIS, I created a Virtual Directory UNDER the domain and pointed it to my image server \\ImageServer\Files
In IIS for this folder, it displays all the sub-folders. (As seen in the image below)
However, when I try to bring the image up to view, it gives a 404 error and points to the directory of the Domain for the file not being there.
It thinks the files are stored on the local server, and not from a share.
All permissions are set, everything is running correctly so far on the server(s)
Except this.

What am I missing here? Do I need to create another

  • If you don't use a domain service account as application pool identity, which can access that file share, you'd better configure "Physical Path Credentials". – Lex Li Feb 29 '20 at 04:06
  • I do have a domain service account on it. – CodingEE Feb 29 '20 at 04:57
  • Then what does FRT say about those 404? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/troubleshoot/using-failed-request-tracing/troubleshooting-failed-requests-using-tracing-in-iis – Lex Li Feb 29 '20 at 05:00

I found a solution to this issue and thought I would share it. I would like to start off with this.
For whatever reason, the webpage gave me a 401 error, for authentication.
That is when I looked it up for IIS Authentication and found the second part below. And it worked!

(This first section was already in place) Part I
Application Pool
Choose the custom Pool for your website.
Choose [Advanced Settings] from the right panel.
Under Identity
Click on the Elips
Choose [Custom Account]
Type in the username of the domain with administration and domain roles.
Type in the password and confirm it.
Click OK then OK again.

Part II
(This I found on SO, and modified it to work with the Pool)
Click on the website name.
Under IIS
Choose [Authentication]
Choose [Anonymous Authentication]
Choose Edit from the Right panel
Select [Application pool identity]
Click OK.

I was so happy when I saw this actually working.
