How to use Runas with IUSR_Servername?

[jsteph]

Hi all,
For testing purposes, I'd like to use the Runas commandline option to run a program with the IIS IUSR_servername account.

How do I find the password for this account? I'm afraid that if I change it via the Users MMC, it will hose websites which are running under this user.
Thanks,
--Jim

IUSR_ account passwords are randomly generated (don't recall the interval). Therefore changing the password manually is not a good idea. It would be safer if you created a service account in order to use RUNAS. Hope this helps.
