>Ya, that's what I'm hoping. We'll see tomorrow when I get in touch with the guy who's supposed to be installing it. Also I was thinking for an internal website (intranet only), would it be *really* bad to grant access to the SYSTEM account? I say yes, but....

That really depends. Remember that IIS to date has always been running with System account rights behind the scenes so any ISAPI and even ASP pages can gain access to this.

The SYSTEM issue IMHO, is overrated because it is a problem only if your server is already hacked and somebody can get in there to run code. Especially on Co-lo boxes where you app is the only one running (IOW, not snooping on other apps <g>).

I find that running with default ASPNET security to be problematic in many cases. While it probably works OK for most apps, it's a problem for many admin type tasks where you do need free roam of the OS in many cases. Most app backends needs this type of functionality...
