Re: IIS_WPG and NETWORK SERVICE

I really looked hard. There is no way to get NETWORK SERVICE to be a member
of the group. It will not appear in the list of users/group when trying to
add it to the IIS_WPG group, and you cannot type it in.

Per David Wang's response, I would guess that this has been disabled on a
later (or earlier?) version of SBS2003 than you have. This is probably the
result of a security patch at some point.

MSFT really makes our lives easy, huh?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi,

Network Service should be available from the drop-down list of preconfigured
identities (along with Local System and Local Service). I just checked on my
SBS2003 box.

What are the exact preconfigured identities that you are seeing?

Cheers
Ken
