Creation of ASPNET user in Active Directory 203

[Gunjan Desai]

Hello,
I unable to see ASPNET user in Active directory 2003. I installed
asp.net on windows 2003 & IIS.

So please tell me how to create ASPNET user in Active Directory 2003.

Thanking you

ASPNET user account is a local account. Unless ASP.NET is installed on a
Domain Controller (where there are no local accounts), you will not see an
ASPNET account in Active Directory

Umm, I don't know if I'd suggest this. This implies that you'll be installing
IIS on the domain controller. From a security perspective I don't think your
network admins will be happy about that.

Well, you'd only need to install .NET Framework (IIS not necessary).

But since the ASPNET account is just an arbitrary account with a certain set
of privileges, I agree that you'd be better off just creating an account to
use, rather than installing unnecessary stuff.

Cheers

Hello Gunjan,

what do you want to achieve? do you want to run a web application on a member
server under a domain account??

you can configure ASP.NET to run under any account - you don't need an ASPNET
domain account to achieve that.

this can be configured in IIS6 app pools or machine.config on non-IIS6 machines.
