Iusr Account Permissions 1

[newmediaguy]

Hi Guys

I have an ASP script that creates a text file for are archaic shipping label printer.....

The problem is that the file is created on one server [S1] then the asp tries to move the file to [S2]

Both servers are networked in a 'wan' type fashion, but the I get access denied when trying to move the file.

Any thoughts or just some pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

I have triple checked all of the directory permissions and searched the web to no avail......

Thanks

Glen

Have solved this problem now.

For anyone else that runs in to this problem this is what I did to resolve it.

Set up a iusr account on the second server [S2] that was on [S1] as well.

Then used adminscripts function to change the password on both machines of the default IIS IUSR accounts so that the 2 servers could authenticate on the same IUSR account as opposed to the local ones that did not match.

Let me know if this doesnt make sense and I will write it up in a more detailed way as no one seemed to know the answer in this forum.

Thanks

Glen,

I think what you suggested is exactly what I need for a different reason.

I'm trying to get IIS (IUSR_MachineName) to access an SQL Server on a different machine. I created the IUSR account ont the second machine but, since the passwords don't match it didn't help.

Could you please explain how to get to / use the adminscrips you mentioned. Are there any side effects of changing the IUSR password? Can I just change it in MMC Users?

Thanks

Hi Rip

The admin scripts are accessible from the cmd line or MMC the below link should shouw you how to change the ISUR Account password.

There are no real security issues apart from permissions that you set for script execution. If the iusr accounts have script execution it is a potential hazzard, if it is just running queries/SP's or standard asp [excluding FS Obj and windows shell] it should be fine.

Hope this helps, if not let me know.

Thanks
