What is IUSR equivalent for IIS 6.0?

Hi,

I need to give my ASP.net application write access to on of my folders.
In Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 it was IUSR, what group do I give access
for Windows 2003 IIS 6.0? I see new ones like System, Network,
Network Service, Interactive Guest, etc.

Thanks,

Do

It should still be IUSR_<machinename> - that is the default "anonymous
access" account.

The other accounts like Network Service are the process identities that the
w3wp.exe process will run under. In IIS5 the aspnet_wp.exe process ran under
the MACHINE\ASPNET account by default. This is subsumed into the Web
Application Pool's process identity in IIS6.

Cheers
Ken
