Summary:   This error occurs when anInternet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 application pool used by Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 attempts to update a file or folder and is denied access because the service account used by the application pool has inadequate permissions.

Symptoms:   The following symptoms might appear:

  • Files might not be updated correctly to reflect configured settings.

  • This event appears in the event log: Event ID: 6589 Description: The application pool account <Account Name> has insufficient permissions to write file <File Name> at <File Location>. Additional information is below.

Cause:   The service account for the IIS application pool that SharePoint Foundation 2010 uses does not have appropriate permissions to write to a file or folder in the NTFS file system.

Resolution:   Grant correct permissions to the application pool account

  • The Web application pool account does not have sufficient permissions to write to the registry or to a file on disk.

First determine which account is used for the Web application.

    2. Fix the permissions on the server by entering the following command:

      psconfig -cmd secureresources

    3. Restart IIS and make the changes by entering the following command at the command prompt: iisreset /noforce

    To determine the account for the Web application:

    1. In the IIS Manager, in the Connections pane, expand the server node and then click Application Pools.
