windows 2003 network service password

What is the default password for the network service account? I would like
to use this account for a windows service thats currently running under the
localsystem account.

I tried my admin password, but it didn't work.

The default password is randomly generated.

You can set a new password for that account, though.

On my dev machine (XP/Pro with VS.NET 2003) I have been developing a Windows Service and installing it on the local machine by opening the Visual Studio Command Prompt and then executing . Now I want to test this service on a Windows Server 2003 box that doesn't have the Visual Studio Command prompt. How do I go about installing the service on the Windows Server 2003 box? Thanks!

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?

This has not worked since I upgraded to Windows Server 2003. My Platform: Windows...

Dear all, I built a Web Form application to start and stop a Windows Service remotely. I successful tested the application on Windows 2000 server + IIS. I must include the ASPNET user to the Administration group (on server side) to have the necessary authorization to start a Windows Service (I don't understand why "Power User" rights are not enough to do the same thing) Although I'm able to start a service using windows 2000 server...

I am running a Windows Server 2003 machine as my web server. I would like to use Windows authentication for connections to my SQL Server 2000 instance on a Windows 2000 server.

Should I change the password of the 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' account...

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