Re: Problems with writing to a file on IIS 6.0



No,

I am saying disable Impersonation in your web.config, and then ASP.NET pages will use Network Service (or whatever your web app pool identity is)

Do you mean disable the anonymous access and use the integrated
windows authentication instead?
This method works fine, but only when the user logged on is a domain
user account. If the user logs in as the local system admin, the
application fails.

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