Publishing in C# a web site to a remote IIS server

[LokiDba]

Hi Everyone,

Ihave a problem with an application that creates a web site on IIS. The problem is that if the user of the app has local admin permissions on the server everything works fine site created etc. But if I just move them out of the Admin group into a new group that has the same NTFS and Web Permissions it does not work. Does anyone know what other permiossion I need to set. This is on both IIS v5 and v6.

Thanks in Advance

1. Do you have your web.config file authentication set to "Windows"?

2. Does your new user(s) need to be part of the Guests group? This is how IUSR_YourComputerName is setup.

Its not a web app the application that is doing the generation (of the Web Site) is a Windows App. So it seems to be a mixture of a problem with NTFS Security, Default Web Site, Metabase and Registry permissions. All works fine if you are a Local Admin of the Web Server.

Have thought of adding them to the Guest group I'll try that and see what happens.

Thanks for the ideas
