Can't Upload files, ASPNet Account required

[Paul D. Fox]

Hi

I'm running Windows Server 2003 as a Domain Controller (with Active
Directory) as a development server. I created an app that uploads graphics
but it doesn't have permission. ASPNET machine account requires permission.
The problem is, this server is a domain controller so there is not a local
ASPNET account. How can I rectify this ?

When you upgraded the server to support ASPX web pages, it should have
created the secure ASPNET account. This is the account that runs the
aspnet.ws worker service that handles aspx pages. By default, this
account has no write privileges. Go to the directory where the uploads
will be placed and add permission to that folder for write privs for
the ASPNET account.

Thanks for the response, however this was not an upgrade. This is a Windows
Server 2003 which has the framework installed. However, since its also a
Domain Controller, there are no Local Accounts such as ASPNET. Therefore
I'm trying to figure out how to rectify this so I can run "Upload" functions
as well as third party tools such as "radEditor"

was there ever a solution to this ?
we have the same problem with a w2k domain controller - framework is
installed but there is no ASPNET account.
