aspnet_wp.exe doesn't run under the ASPNET account

[Engiman]

Hi everybody
There's a web service deployed on a standalone Windows 2000 server. The atribute "username" in machine.config file is set to "machine" and ASPNET account has all neccessary permissions (as I understand). The problem is that the service is not accessible until the account is a member of Administrators group. Is that the only way to make things work? I spent lot of time browsing MSDN but found no appropriate solution.
Thank you.

There is an article on the knowledge base about this, if you copy the error message from the event viewer to kb search it should be the only entry. It has to do with permissions as you suggested. This only has to do with domain controllers.

Hope this helps

I've read this article about domain controllers. This is not the case. Thank you anyway.
