Windows Users involved in ASP.NET

Hi. I am trying to configure a development server environment as follows:

Windows Server 2003 - HTTP/IIS/ASP.NET 2.0 is a server which is on a Windows
Domain. I want to create a Site in IIS whose docroot is NOT on the local
machine, but rather on a directory mounted from another computer on the
Domain.

My questions are: What are ALL of the users that need to be configured to
have permissions on this remote file-system so that ASP.NET can do its thing?
I know that it's more than just "IUSR..." user. I think that ASPNET, etc.
need to have some kind of permissions?

Also, these users (ASPNET and the standard "IUSR_...") are local users to
the machine. How do I properly configure this when the users need to have
access to another system on the network? Won't I have to replace these users
in the IIS configuration with Domain users instead?

read this.

note: you won't be able to use impersonation of the client, because an
impersonted account will not not have network access (1 hop rule).

I'm hoping to get a response from developers with experience in both developing applications for Windows and the Web using VS.NET2005. I'm looking for input as to why we would want to develop a web application versus a Windows Application.

I'm looking to provide users of a new Windows Forms (2.0) app with a messaging system that looks and feels very much like a typical news reader. I understand that there are reference apps available for ASP.NET forums (DNN, for example). But what about for Windows Forms? Are there any reference apps that I may be able to disect/emulate? If not, what controls would be involved in the creation of such a feature for a Windows Forms app?...

Hello, I'm thinking of creating a Windows service to backup a small enterprise system running on an Oracle database. My idea is to create a Windows service on the main server and also each remote file server, so that the main server can control the entire backup sequence, including the start time, through service-to-service remoting (or with the new WCF). My dilemma basically comes down to using Windows services or plain old EXEs. I don't...

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,...
