How do I fix this error: "The current identity (NT AUTHORITY\NETWO RK SERVICE) does not have write access to "

[TheBurgerMan]

Hi all. I am using W2K3, .NET2 on a machine running AD and Exchange. I
started getting the message below last week. I googled the error and not
much was returned, but I did find this;
http://forums.asp.net/918725/ShowPost.aspx

I tried both items in the forum and it works for a few hits then it happens
again!

Anyone have the same problem? How do I fix this?

I would check for a GPO that might be modifying these permissions.

Simply open Windows Explorer and give Network Service access rights
read/write to the Temporary ASP.NET directory. This is fairly simple on
Win2k3. On XP, you have to enable simple sharing to get the security tab to
show.

TheBurgerMan,

I think you should try giving the NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE account
modify permissions on the
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \Temporary ASP.NET Files folder
manually.

Thanks for all the responses. I have changed the ACL to add the NETWORK
SERVICE account to the Temp directory (just now), but I am leary of opening
security holes on my box. Is there an actual problem that will cause my
site to keep craping out?

FYI, when you run the commands in the post above, it changes the permissions
and gives NETWORK SERVICE appropriate permissions. That's why it works when
you do that. If something is then changing the permissions "magically" so
that it doesn't work anymore, a GPO (Group Policy Object) is the most likely
candidate.

NETWORK SERVICE needs write access there. That's the default permissions.

As to what might cause it to keep crapping out, see my previous post. If
you want to find out if that's it, go to a command line and run this:

gpupdate /force

After that takes effect, see if it's broken again. If it is, a GPO is
altering permissions and you need to talk to your domain admin about
modifying it.

Thanks Jim. When I ran the "aspnet_reg iis -ga "NT AUTHORITY\NETWO RK
SERVICE" earlier, I examined the ACL permissions right away and "NETWORK
SERVICE" had only read access, but the site came up!

Anyway, I will check the GPO and let you know (a poet and I didn't even know
it).

I ran the gpupdate and the site crapped out again, also "NETWORK SERVICE"
account has been removed from the ACL of the directory.

I am the admin of our small network and have never needed to play with the
GPO before. This problem just happened "out of the blue" and I would like
to resolve what caused it.

In the meantime, can you tell me what I should be looking for in the Default
Domain Controllers Policy?

So now you know that it's definitely a GPO. You'd have to look at each
policy that's applied to the box and make sure that it includes that change.
You can use gpresult to see what is applied.
