LoadUserProfile fails with access denied error

I have following piece of code (below) which impersonates a user and loads his profile. The strange this is if I run it from a console app it works just fine. But when I run it from inside an IIS application it gives access denied (5) error for the LoadUserProfile call. I have configured the IIS app to run under "user1" account - the same acct I use to log on interactively when I run it from an console app.
Both "user1" (which is going the impersonation) and "user2" (one that is being impersonated) belong to Administrators group on the server. This is happening on Win2003/IIS6. The profile in question (of user2) is not a roaming or temporary or mandatory.

Obviously there is something un-obvious is going on with the IIS app - but I cant think what. Any clues?

if (!LogonUser("user2", "domain", "pwd", LOGON32_LOGON_SERVICE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hToken)

pszErrMsg = "LogonUser failed."
throw false


if ( !ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hToken)

pszErrMsg = "ImpersonateUser failed."
throw false


memset(&profileInfo, 0, sizeof(profileInfo))

profileInfo.dwSize = sizeof(profileInfo)
profileInfo.dwFlags = PI_NOUI
profileInfo.lpUserName = "user2"

if ( !LoadUserProfile(hToken, &profileInfo)

pszErrMsg = "ImpersonateUser failed."
throw false
