Windows 2003 and ASPNET user

On a Win 2k box, I can give ASPNET user permission to read, write on a
folder and everything's fine. On a Windows 2003 Server box, if ASPNET user
has the same permissions, i cannot write until i give the Users group write
permissions as well as ASPNET user.

What's going on here? Seems like the latter in Windows 2003 is LESS secure.

You're saying that because you have to grant MORE permissions ona Windows
2003 Server that it is LESS secure?

Exactly right Kev!,

Worked around it and now have it locked down securely.

Windows Server 2003 is supposed to include Framework 1.1 right. I don't have it here but have reports that the web is not running. The users say that the %COMPUTERNAME%\ASPNET user doesn't exist. Questions: 1. is this user replaced by the %COMPUTERNAME%\NETWORK SERVICE user in Windows 2003 Server (IIS6)? 2. if the ASPNET user still needed to run .NET apps and it's missing, how would you add to a Windows 2003 Server box?

I want to be able to add the standard aspnet user as a database user, but it doesn't exist. The box is windows 2000 advanced server running SQL Server 2000 with vs.net 2003 installed. Surely vs.net 2003 would have installed this user wouldn't it I can connect using sql server authentication, but isn't using "aspnet" user the preferred method? Thanks in advance Pooky

I don't currently have an installation of Windows 2003 server, or I could answer this myself. After having a client install ASP.NET on Windows 2003, I then tried to find the aspnet_wp.exe process but he claims it's not here. Now at first I didn't beleive him, however, I wondered if now that Asp.Net is integrated into IIS in WIndows 2003, is there a separate process? In the end, what I want to find out is, on a default installation of...

Dear all, I built a Web Form application to start and stop a Windows Service remotely. I successful tested the application on Windows 2000 server + IIS. I must include the ASPNET user to the Administration group (on server side) to have the necessary authorization to start a Windows Service (I don't understand why "Power User" rights are not enough to do the same thing) Although I'm able to start a service using windows 2000 server...

I'm using the VB.NET language in ASP.NET, with Windows XP on the desktops and Windows 2003 on the network servers. When users log on, they have to enter a user name and password in the netowrk operating system. Is there a function or other means I can use to capture the Windows 2003 login user name for use in my code? Thanks in advance, Paul

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
