Access denied when executing Process.Start() on my Server 2003

[Cédric Rossé]

Hello,

I'm currently developping a web application and I'm trying to execute a
batch file (.cmd) on the server side when the client presses a button on a
web page.
When I do this on my local machine (where I'm developping my application),
no problem occurs. But when I put the web application on my Windows server
2003 server, I always get the following error message. Can someone help me ?

Here is the config of my webconfig file :
<authentication mode="Windows" />

<identity impersonate="true"/>

And Here is the section process model of my machine.config file:

<processModel enable="true" timeout="Infinite" idleTimeout="Infinite"
shutdownTimeout="0:00:05" requestLimit="Infinite" requestQueueLimit="5000"
restartQueueLimit="10" memoryLimit="60" webGarden="false"

comAuthenticationLevel="Connect" comImpersonationLevel="Impersonate"
responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00" maxWorkerThreads="20"
maxIoThreads="20"/>
Server Error in '/NetGuard' Application.

Try going into the .Net framework configuration permission set to "Full
Access" on the Runtime Security Policy --> Machine --> Code Groups -->
All_Code --> Internet Zone. By default, the "security" permission set that
is applied to the internet zone does not allow calls to unmanaged code.

You can acess this by going to Administrative tools and .Net framework
configuration V1.1

Also ensure that the impersonated user or group has access to the respective
files and directories.
