Thank you for your quick reply!

You mean the for IIS itself? it says nothing about the 500 error.

I can access the smb share, can map it, can add/delete files or whatever.
Deleted the mapping and used UNC to have IIS connect to it.

Only error I can find anywhere regarding this problem is what browsers
return me:

The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be
displayed.

Please try the following:

    * Contact the Web site administrator to inform them that this error has
occured for this URL address.

HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

    * Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search
for the words HTTP and 500.
    * Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and
search for topics titled Web Site Administration, and About Custom Error
Messages.
    * In the IIS Software Development Kit (SDK) or at the MSDN Online
Library, search for topics titled Debugging ASP Scripts, Debugging
Components, and Debugging ISAPI Extensions and Filters.
