Win2003 and NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService

[Raghu]

We have an ASP.NET application on Win2003 box. This application runs under
default user "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". We need to give right
permissions for this user on a folder to write a file to the disk. But we
were not able to do so.

Specifically when we right click on a given folder in windows explorer and
try to assign the user permissions, we can not select this particular user.
Did any one encounter this behavior? Would appreciate if any one can help.

Thanks.

Did you try specifying the user as e.

SVR01\network servic

(where SVR01 is the name of your server)

[Raghu]

It tried. However I used "networkservice" instead of "network service". It
made a difference.

Thanks.

Assign Modify permissions to the IIS_WPG group and add if not already there
this group to each folder your app needs to access.
