ASPNET user on Windows 2003?

I recently came across a Windows 2003 Server (German) system where ASP.NET
is configured to run as ASPNET user rather than as Network Service. Any
idea how this could happen without an admin manually configuring it that
way? Perhaps an installation that was upgraded from Windows 2000 Server?

Thanks

IIS6 has an IIS5 mode, which uses the ASPNET account. Also, someone could
have simply set that as the identity of the AppPool.

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?

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. Harry

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...

Should ASPNET user belong to the local Users group? I may have made some changes that affected my workstation setup and I am experiencing some unexpected behaviors. For example, I have my IIS set up with anonymous login and have ASP.NET running. My ASP.NET application then creates a log file and writes to it during its course. The only thing is that it should not be able to. My questions are below. Please correct any incorrect...

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 am running a Windows 2003 Server w/Framework 1.1 loaded. We have built a ..NET 2003 app and it requires that ASPNET be assigned permissions to several folders and servcies. The ASPNET account does not exist on the server (viewed through Active Directory). The accounts IUSR_WIN2K3SRVR and IWAM_WIN2K3SRVR do exist. I thought that the Framework installation would automatically create the ASPNET account - it does appear on other...

Most computers default to English, but sometimes we require a different language, especially when relocating. Forgot to request a specific language before your computer shipped? No problem! You can effortlessly switch the default language on Windows 10 without reinstalling. I'll walk you through it. First, let's disable language synchronization.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
