   Is there a specific reason why you want to use a custom guest account for
ASP.Net? If not then you don't need to go to all that work. There is an
account configured by Microsoft to be used for anonymous authentication for
Forms Auth that almost everybody uses. It is named IUSR_MACHINENAME. Just
put in IIS that account name IUSR_(MACHINENAME) where machinename = the name
of the server. IIS SHOULD control the password. Hope this helps!
