2.0: missing aspnet account

[Guest]

Hi guys

I've just noticed I don't have an ASPNET user account running on either my
Workstation or Server (both running .net2.0, workstation has vs2005 pro).

Simple question... should it be there with .net2, and if so how can I create
it!?

Cheers

I should have pointed out that the Workstation is XP Pro and the Server is
Windows 2003, so I'm assuming it's using the "NETWORK SERVICE" account rather
than "ASPNET".

Looking for clarification as to how this all works with vs2005

You are correct. Windows Server 2003 uses the "Network Service" account by
default instead of ASPNET.

Yes Dan,

For windows 2003 which use IIS6, the default asp.net process Model is
application pool model which use the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE as the
default application pool identity. And there actually exists a group
named machine\IIS_WPG which helps us easily create a asp.net process
identity (just add a custom account into that group) and Network Service
account is in it by default....

May I just ask why the .Net 2.0 did not create the ASPNET account?

Yes, I am aware that it is replaced with the NETWORK SERVICE account but what I'd like to know is why?

Any inputs on this will be much appreciated and if possible may you site your references.

Thank you very much.
