I have a WebDAV server (IIs 7.5 with WebDAV installed) that we can write and delete files from but not rename. I've checked the file permissions and they seem fine but I suspect that as WebDAV is also a versioning system, perhaps it is blocking the rename as this may break a version tree?

All other aspects are working fine, i.e. HTML directory browsing and drive mapping via @SSL.

Don't know the answer, but...

Does it work over http?
What does the log say about the attempt?

Yes, HTTP(S) is working and nothing is being written to event log

An update : from the IIS logs (%SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles) I can see the WebDAV MOVE command being attempted, but nothing is logged as to why it cannot complete. I tried executing a folder MOVE as this two failed.

I test from another machine using the UNC path for the folder (to test security) and I can create, delete, rename and move files that way, but not via WebDAV.

Tested internal access and works fine, tested external and not working, so I suspect it's an issue with TMG, the investigation continues ...

Answer : The SSO reverse proxy (Threat Management Gateway) does not support WebDAV MOVE operation. Changed the external facing URL for HTML (browse / read) and provided a new passthrough rule for write access.
