Re: Problems with writing to a file on IIS 6.0

In that case, the configured IIS anonymous user is used.

By why don't you just disable impersonation? Then IUSR_<machinename> is not used - instead Network Service is used.

The impersonation is set to true in the config file, what would
ASP.NET run as in my case?
And i also need to use the anonymous access to provide access without
any authentication.

If you are using an ASP.NET application without impersonation, then your
ASP.NET code runs as Network Service (not the anonymous user account in
IIS). There should be no need to make the Network Service account the
anonymous user account.
