Okay, I just spoke to the guy who is installing the app and I was mistaken, the KB article solution does not work and neither does the impersonate in the Web.Config. Hmmmm... So what else could be causing this "Server Application Unavailable" error?

TIA,

Okay, not really an issue for this small client, but sometimes I work for big companies too ;-) I guess we are all just so used to rebooting Windows servers every five munutes...lol.

>>Based on the error that is occuring and the work-around suggested, It appears that using impersonation "should" work without needing to reboot.

>>>I have a question regarding the solution presented in a KB article on asp.net web application errors related to configuring security for the asp.net worker process on a domain controller. The KB article is http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315158

>>>The error is:
>>>-----
>>>Server Application Unavailable
>>>
>>>The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable.
>>>
>>>Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

>>>Now the solution presented in the article works, however it requires a reboot of the server which is unacceptable for my client as it is a small business that only has one server, so the entire network is down in the process of configuring the security. I am wondering if using the impersonation section of the Web.config would resove this, but it does not mention that as a solution in this particular KB article.
