In Windows 2003, ASP.Net uses the assigned Web Application Pool identity for
the application. By default this is NT AUTHORITY\Network Service if you are
running in IIS6 Worker Process Isolation Mode.

In your IIS Manager, locate the web application pool that your service is
being hosted in. Then goto the Web Application Pool node and find out what
user account is being used for the process identity of that application
pool.

access to a key in the registry. If we assign read access to this key via
the local ASPNET account in Windows 2000 all works just fine but under 2003
this does not seem to be sufficient or the anonymous user is not coming in
as ASPNET anymore. In Windows 2003 with machine.config set to "machine" what
account is being used?
