~~~ .NET Ed ~~~

I tried to create an ASP.NET web project on my machine and this is what I
did:

System: WinXP Professional SP1
FS: NTFS
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Framework 1.1
IIS Installed

1. I (Developer) have account "Develop" which is what I use all the time for
development, browsing internet, etc..
This is a Limited Account.
2. I (Admin) have a separate administrative account with all rights.
3. Logged in as Admin I created a folder in the project in question and
using the Sharing tab made it a Web Share named MyComponents as alias.
4. Back to the Developer account I proceeded to create the Web project
within VS.NET

Then I got a dialog with an error like this several times (some variations
of the message):

"Unable to set the permissions on the 'bin' folder to restrict browse
access.
Active Directory Services cannot find the web server. A possible cause for
this
is an incompatibility between versions of Internet Information Services
(IIS)
on the client and the server. The usual cause for this error is creating Web
Projects on a Windows 2000 or newer server from a Winodws NT 4.0 client.
You can manually restrict browse access to this folder using the IS Manager"

But then to begin with:
a) Cannot find web server? and yet I can point my own IE to the URL on MY
localserver where
the project is being created?
b) Incompatibility problems? BS, I am running only one IIS, it is on THIS
same machine so
client and server have the same (same machine)
c) This is not W2K nor WNT4, it is WinXP Professional

It appears that the most straightforward way to work with this is to have
Admin rights and open yourself
to the evils of internet... I cannot even debug my own ASP.NET projects.

Any ideas?

Hi NoSpam,

This error is caused when the IIS common files fail when making ADSI calls
against the remote box. In your case, it's probably because your limited
account doesn't have the correct access to the IIS metabase.

The solution is that when you are trying to remotely debug, you need to be
an admin.
