SOLUTION (for now):
PROBLEM: The ASP.NET process runs under the "ASPNET"
local user account. After installing the updates, it is
required that the ASP.NET process have read access to the
folder:
\Documents And Settings\LocalService\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files
I don't know why it needs those rights, or if it will in
the future, but for now, here's the fix.
SOLUTION:
1. Yes, you can have the ASP.NET process run as SYSTEM,
but this is a SERIOUS security issue.
2. Better, and simpler, is to give the ASPNET account the
permissions it requires. Below I will outline how to
implement this.
FIX:
1. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to
\Documents and Settings
2. If the "LocalService" directory is NOT visible, you
need to choose "Folder Options" from the "Tools" menu.
Then you need to ensure that under the "View" tab,
protected OS files are NOT hidden!
3. Continue on to
\Documents and Settings\LocalService
4. Right-click on the "Local Settings" folder, then
select "Sharing and Security".
5. In the "Security" tab, "Add" the "ASPNET" user, and
make sure it has "Read" and "List Folder Contents"
permissions.
6. "Apply", "OK", .... etc until all windows closed.
7. That's it.

Hi
Yes I'll try that although I'm doing a System Restore at
the moment out of desperation!

news:0c****************************@phx.gbl... This morning I was quite happily working away when a
Windows Update prompted me for install. I found a
convenient brake point and duly installed it and
rebooted, oh dear what a mistake LOL!
Any asp.net page now fails with the following
message: -
Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access onthis web server is currently unavailable. Please hit
the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your
request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing thecause of this specific request failure can be found in the
system event log of the web server. Please review this
log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
Now I have looked at the millions of posts to do with
this and firstly I get nothing in the event log, so I
have no idea whats caused it??
The 2 Windows updates were: -
An IE6 security patch
A Data Access Components security patch
Am I the only person this has affected??
Anyone any ideas as to a solution??
Thanks in advance
Andy
