How do I fix this error: "The current identity (NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE) does not have write ac

[TheBurgerMan]

Hi all. I am using W2K3, .NET2 on a machine running AD and Exchange. I
started getting the message below last week. I googled the error and not
much was returned, but I did find this;
http://forums.asp.net/918725/ShowPost.aspx

I tried both items in the forum and it works for a few hits then it happens
again!

Anyone have the same problem? How do I fix this?

Hello TheBurgerMan,

this is the directory where ASP.NET emits its temp assemblies - the worker
process account needs modify ACLs for this directory (and sub directories).

 

[TheBurgerMan]

I have set the ACL's to give write access for the account, but as soon as
the Group policy runs, it deletes the ACL I had previously set. I don't set
any GPO stuff on this server as we are only a handfull of people and I don't
have time to manage to that detail (this is only one web server and is in
its own Domain (AD).

Is there an easy lookup in the GP editor that I can check?

Use RSOP (Resultant Set of Policy) tool to determine what the effective
settings are for that folder. That'll confirm that it's a GPO, and tell you
which on you need to change. If you don't have RSOP handy, you can use
gpresult.exe at a command line to get a list of GPOs that are being applied.

The setting in question is probably located at Computer Configuration ->
Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> File System.

That location is where a GPO creator can specify custom ACLs to be applied
to specified files/folders

Alternatively, someone may have loaded a security template that contains
file system ACLs that are too restrictive. Speak to your network admins
about this - probably the quickest way to find out what's going on,
especially if they set it up in the first place.

Cheers
Ken
