Hi,

I am running Windows 2003 standalone server.  My IIS service starts fine
with the local system account.  I manually create an account called
'iisaccount' that I can use to start my IIS service, but I keeping getting
"access is denied".  I've given 'iisaccount' full access to my local drive
and all its subdiretories and files.  I've also tried adding 'issaccount' to
the local Administrators group, but still get "access is denied" when
attempting to start the IIS service.  I've verified the Local Security
Settings, and 'issaccount' has been granted "logon as a service".  I've also
tried adding 'issaccount' to the policies that the Local System account
belongs to, but no luck.

Please advice.

Thank you very much.
Vince

how do you create that? Using the MMC or do you use a command line tool? If
that is the case, a virus script blocker might block you.

In order to run IIS pages make sure this account is in the IIS_WPG group
also.

I created the account using the MMC, and already added it to IIS_WPG group;
but still getting access denied when starting the IIS service.

I've having the same (similar) problem.  I believe the World Wide Web
publishing wizard has to run as the same account as the IIS Admin
service.  But if I try and set the Admin service to start as specific
user (a domain user in my case) I get the error 5010 The Object Already
Exists.

Please help.  I still cannot start IIS with a local account, other than the
Local System account.  I added the local account to the local administrators
group, IIS_WPG group, and gave it full access to the local C drive, sub
directories and files; but didn't help.

Thanks,

Hi Egbert,

I created the account using the MMC.  What is a virus script blocker?

Thanks,
Vince
