WebDAV PROPPATCH Verb Returns 405 Method Not Allowed
This article was previously published under Q304203
When you use the World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) PROPPATCH verb, the following error occurs:
HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed
Internet Information Services
Use an NTFS partition to allow the WebDAV PROPPATCH verb to manipulate Web properties.
This behavior is by design.
The WebDAV protocol defines facilities for adding properties to Web resources. These properties consist of name or value pairs that are interchanged by using XML. The protocol includes the PROPFIND method for accessing properties and the PROPPATCH method for updating and removing properties.
Web properties are used in distributed authoring environments to provide for efficient discovery and management of resources. For example, a subject property can allow the indexing of all resources by their subject, and an author property can allow for the discovery of which authors have written which documents.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
