When requests come into IIS for various resources (.htm, .asp, .aspx, etc.),
IIS processes those requests as if a local user was asking. The IUSR
account is what IIS uses for most requests, but the ASPNET account is used
for .NET requests.

AFAIK, the 2 accounts aren't used in conjunction with each other, but each
account must have sufficient privledges to resources they might need to
access. For example, if you have an .aspx page that needs to access a SQL
Server DB using a trusted connection, the ASPNET account needs to be given
privledges to the SQL DB.

Allowing Write access without using IUSR

by: AVB | last post by:

Is there any other way to write files to a directory than allowing the IUSR write access. We have a website that will be writing XML files and Label files to a directory outside of our website directory but I am hesitant to give the generic IUSR account write access to anything and wondered if we could asign a different account or if there was some sort of ASP script we could use. These files will be created based on a received XML string...

ASPNET user missing from Windows 2003?

by: Harry Simpson | last post by:

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?

IUSR and IWAM Permissions

by: Simon Watkins | last post by:

Our server administrators recently changed the permissions of most of our servers (you know how it is, the developers had, shock horror, got to know the domain administrator password, and some decision was made on high to clamp down on everything) This consequently has had the effect of rendering our live ASP.NET 2 web server useless with page requests for .NET sites returning ACL permission errors. I ran a few tools and found out...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
