one of our server is registering a log at the event-viewer saying
---- ---- ---- ----
aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password
supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.
---- ---- ---- ----

it is an unexpected and not justified error because we do not have any
asp.net application running.
i only have installed a windows service built with C#.Net whom send messages
to a socket server

if i have no asp.net application, why i get this error?

the final problem is that, when this error is registered, any .Net
application crash.
specifically any manage code crash

thanks to all

Look at the machine.config file on that machine and find the user it is
running under; it has most likely been set to an admin's account to overcome
an issue in the past and there is a password expiration policy. When the
domain account password is changed, it hoses you.

I find this error from time to time in shops where they attempt to get
around some of the security by elevating perms through an edit in
machine.config. The usual is forgetting to go back and investigate the root
cause, which leads to this error at some time in the future.

One common reason is to get around the web services restrictions on Windows
Server 2003, which is much better served by allowing web service GET and/or
POST in machine.config.

You can edit machine.config manually, or use the .NET Configuration tool.
