Running IIS application pool as a domain user

Just finished setting up an IIS application pool to run as a domain user. There’s a number of hurdles you have to jump over before it will work.

  1. In local policies, set the account to “Act as part of the operating system”. Administrative Tools | Local Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignments | Act as part of the operating system
  2. In local policies, set the account to log on as a service.
  3. Give the account Modify permissions on the folders asp.net uses to create it’s temporary files.

    Hello,

    I’m trying to run an IIS7 Application Pool as a domain user and I’ve followed your hints, however the end of point 3 is missing.

    Thanks in advance!
