FrontPage will not work with UNCs and Microsoft says content has to be on local disk for the server extensions to work on NT.
We installed a trial version of the Intergraph NFS client for NT. Although the exported filesystems on our Netapp appear as network shares and we access them via a UNC name, IIS+FrontPage *does* seem to work quite happily in this configuration. All NFS access is mapped to uid -2 and gid -1, but there's probably something in the Intergraph client config to change that (I hope). Microsoft had initially told us that FP will not work with UNC names at all, and now we have data to the contrary.
