: Hi everyone,
:
: I have developed an ASP.NET web application and have deployed it to a
: production server. The web application has only a single page with the
: page_load event having no code in it. The virtual directory in IIS is
setup
: with anonymous access only. The user that virtual directory is setup to
run
: under has administrative privilages on the server.

The virtual directory does not run under a user account. Are you talking
about the account that IIS is configured to impersonate for anonymous
requests?

Additionally, is your ASP.NET application configured to impersonate this
account (via <identity impersonate="true" /> setting)?

Lastly, can you post the relevant IIS logfiles?

Cheers
Ken
