If you are using IIS 7, please visit: http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-20774
Note: If you are creating this virtual directory to a location that is off-core (such as a NAS server) your HTTP Redirect settings in IIS should not be set to point to the source of the directory. This will cause a loop and the HTTP directory will not resolve.
