Here is a small story of what I am doing.

I have a virtual machine Windows 2000 Enterprise server with .NET 1.0 and
1.1 installed and was upgraded to a DC.

1. Log in as Administrator
2. Create a folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test
3. Create a file "default.aspx" content of the file is "hello world"
4. Load up Internet Information Services
5. Create "test" to be a web application or what ever that step would be
called. I click on the "create" button in the properties of "test"
6. Grant the user iwam_machinename to the
"C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files" folder
because it genreated a permission error when running the site.
7. Load up IE and access http://localhost/test and it works. The site
displays "hello world"

8. Create web.config with impersonate data. The user in the impersonate is
the Domain administrator account that is currently being used.
9. Accessing the site gives the error "Access denied to
'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\Default.aspx'. Failed to start monitoring file
changes."

WHY, WHY does this error happen?

When these same steps are performed on another VM that is a DC it actually
works. The same problem was not able to be reproduced. I have seen this
problem before so it is not a rare occurance with just this VM or my
install. It has happened when another network tech installed a windows DC
and another developer tried to setup an impersonate site. Same error and we
could not resolve the error so the machine was rebuilt. There are going to
be times where we will not be able to just "rebuild" the machine and the
problem has to be resolved.

In attempts to "fix" the problem
* aspnet_regiis -i was ran. Same result.
* .NET 1.0 and 1.1 uninstalled and reinstalled .NET 1.1. Same error still.
* Granting full control on c:\ just for kicks on everyone and administrator
and other user accounts. same error.

How can this be fixed on a server with out a rebuild of the server?
