Cause

This behavior may occur if the partition on which the cache is located does not have the appropriate user rights for the Everyone user. The Everyone user must have full access rights to build the Urlcache folder during Setup, or if you change the partition and the cache must be moved.

Resolution

To resolve this behavior:

1.	Start Windows Explorer, and the search for the Urlcache folder.
2.	If the Dir1.cdat file is missing, change the rights for the Everyone user on the Urlcache folder to Full Control.
3.	Restart all of the ISA Server services.
4.	A file that is named Dir1.cdat is created. If the cache is located on only this partition, the file is the size of the cache that is defined in the ISA Server console. If other drives are defined in the cache configuration, there is an Urlcache folder on each drive that is defined. A Dir1.cdat file is created in each Urlcache folder.
