aspnet user missing

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

Dear Pooky

If you want to re-install aspnet account, well its quite simple. Go to VS.Net 2003 command prompt and typ
aspnet_regiis - i and give enter. this will reinstall the aspnet user

meanwhile if aspnet user is not there, are you able to open and work with the vs.net editor

I administer three IIS6 servers for a large company where the programmers are now requesting that we change the password for the local aspnet user account on the server to a known password (no longer windows controlled). Can I expect any additional fallout from this change - or is this relatively a benign change? I am assuming all I have to do is go into Computer Management, Local Users and Groups and set password on the aspnet...

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?

Hi I have an ASP.NET application that writes to a log file in a directory outside the webapp directory (e.g. c:\program files\myapp\logs). OS is Windows 2003 If I see the list of users in the "Security" tab for the 'logs' directory, I see that <localmachine>\Users already exists. Now, <localmachine>\ASPNET is a part of this 'Users' group. But this group does not have write access to the 'logs' directory. I think this is the default setting...

The only thing is that it should not be able to. My questions are below. Please correct any incorrect...

Hi All, Can the ASPNET user be deleted on an end user's machine that will run .NET applications? I heard someone say it was only needed on the developers machine. Sounded odd to me but I thought I'd ask. Cheers

I saw a post in October that related to the problem I'm having and posted something yesterday but never saw it show up, so I'll try again. I read secnet.pdf and gathered from that document that one recommendation was to use the aspnet user to connect to sql server. It laid out the steps to do this and I've tried it and am having problems. I have configured IIS6 in both IIS5 isolation mode and in IIS6 mode and was able to make both...

I've seen explainations on how to impersonate a non aspnet user when a web page is called within an web application, but I have a different impersonation issue.

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,...
