.net user not working IIS6

Hi,

Something confusing me slightly, when a user wants to run .aspx pages etc I
was under the impression that I could just grant the ASPNET user full rights
or read to the website that needed it. This doesnâ€™t seem to work, if I grant
the everyone group access the .aspx pages they start working. Any ideas?

Also as a side option id like to have the ASPNET user on my domain so that I
can replicate the permissions across multiple servers but im not sure what
privileges it needs.

Many thanks

Matt

In IIS6 try the Network Services account.

The ASPNET user is a local account, and cannot - unfortunately - be
"replaced" by a domain account, to my knowledge. Make sure that you have
also given the IUSR_xxx account, and Network services account.
If this doesn't work; could you perhaps tell us a little bit more about
what kind of error message you're getting ?
