Hi Rick,

I found where and how to do what you suggested. I created a new application pool and assigned it to run under a domain account I created for this purpose. Now I have a new problem. :) If I run the pool under the default network service account, the web service will be available. When I change the credentials to the domain account I made for it, the service becomes unavailable. If browsed to in a browser, the page says : Service Unavailable.

What changes must be made to the user account to enable this service to run under it?



>If you need network access you'll need to change the service account running the ApplicationPool (IIS 6/7). Create a new ApplicationPool and change the Impersonation Identity for the application pool. Then map this application pool to your site or virtual directory that holds the application.

The error I get says a file does not exist on a network drive share, and I expect its because the credentials the web service is running under don't have access to the network.
