Sometimes they come back, as my favorite writer says… This is the case of this error message I already wrote about a couple of years ago; anyway this time the customer before calling CSS for support had already tried the suggestions on my previous post, unfortunately without luck. The customer has tried:
- aspnet_regiis -ga “Network Service”
- cscript metaacl.vbs IIS://Localhost/W3SVC/AppPools IIS_WPG RE
- Assured the account running Application Pool (NETWORK SERVICE) is part of the IIS_WPG group
The difference this time is that the application’s files are hosted on a centralized network share; for this particular scenario, also the account used in the “Connect As…” dialog in IIS Manager must be part of the IIS_WPG group:
