Help! Server: Windows server 2k3, Client: XP Pro

I am trying to set up a website that allows anon access but uses a specific
service account to access a NTFS folder resource. I have tried playing with
service accounts, IUSER and IWAM but cannot get the correct configuration.

Any suggestions?

Hi Matt,

This depends on what web application you are running. If it is ASP.net web
application, you should use the web site's application pool's identity -
the default account is Network Service. If it is classic ASP application,
the account will be IUSR_<machinaname>.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
