    Hi,

    Yes, IWAM is used for out-of-process IIS applications (that run in
    dllhost.exe). But your ASP.NET applications should run inside aspnet_wp.exe.

    Unless you have changed your machine.config, the process identity of the
    aspnet_wp.exe process should be Machine\ASPNET (as I understand it).

    Cheers
    Ken
