NETWORK SERVICE

[Tae Lee]

I have 2k3 server with vs.net. However, I do not see
NETWORK SERVICE user on the machine. Instead, I only see
ASPNET user. When I tried to rename this user to NETWORK
SERVICE, I get an error message saying that this user
already exists. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

The NETWORK SERVICE is a special in-built account - you don't need to and
should be modifying it. It doesn't appear in the list of users in the User
Accounts, but is available when you need to specify a user account for a
service to use.
