IWAM User

[devi]

Hi,

I have two issues.

I am new to Windows Vista Home premium. I have Vista home premium
installed in my HP notebook. I am trying to install an application
which does a IWAM_MachineName password check during its installation
process. This installation gets aborted saying, the IWAM_MachineName
user name is empty. So I tried looking for the IWAM user in the
machine, But I couldnt locate this username, I tried viewing the users
in IIS Manger and also in component manager, but this IWAM user doesnt
show up?

Is IWAM user exists in Windows Vista Home Premium version

Tired of searching for the IWAM user, thought I could create a user by
the name IWAM_MachineName. This IWAM user doesnt get listed in the
"Users" list.
Now I want to delete this user that I created.

Can some one help guiding me how to solve the above two issues.

Any help will be verymuch appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Do you have IIS installed? I do not know anything about whether can be or
is a part of Home Premium, but I only have the IWAM_ and _IUSR accounts on
my Windows Server 2003 machine which has IIS installed.

You can delete the account at the Command Prompt with:

NET USER IWAM_MachineName /delete

You can then delete the profile in Explorer, or use the DELPROF command
(search Google for that). I am not sure if DELPROF does anything in
particular that just deleting the profile in Explorer does not do, so I just
use that to be more sure that there is no unnecessary shrapnel in the
registry.
