如何访问 Laravel 中的共享网络文件夹（scandir）？

Question

I have three windows servers, one is a Domain Controller, one hosts laravel via IIS and the other is a windows server with a shared network folder for storage. Everytime I try to access the folder on the shared drive using the following:

scandir('\\\\servername\\foldername');

I get the following error

scandir(\\servername\\foldername,\\servername\\foldername): Access is denied. (code: 5)

This is obviously a permissions error as the access to server is limited to only accounts in the DC's AD where as the laravel application is executing using the local IIS user. Can someone please help me with what I should try to do?

Thanks!

You should modify the IIS application pool identity to network service account and then modify the shared folder permission to let network service account to access.
