Using the IIS_AppPool\website name Identity on a Domain member server on Server 2012
-
I understand how to use the IIS AppPool\website in assigning permissions to the website folder in a workgroup server. But when I make the web server a member of my domain, I'm not able to use the same AppPool Identity. I tried DomainName\IIS AppPool\website. So In the meantime, I made the server a workgroup member. Overall: I want to experiment with the Hyper-V hypervisor and put 3 virtual servers on it, that feed off a special share from 1 of the hypervisor drives, and I'm having trouble with the permissions. I experimented with the NLB, but was missing a couple of things on the shared disk drive.

[UPDATE] I still haven't figured out how to use domain permissions for the Application Pool using the ISS AppPool assigned to the Application Pool on a web server that is a domain member. I've come to the conclusion that if your web server is a domain member, your probably only running one website, so you can just make a machine account for it, and assign it to the App Pool and then the folder. If your hosting websites, then running the web server as a work group member is the way to go. I'm not going to make hundreds of special accounts for the app pool now. So what about the SQL Server, make it a domain member or a work group member. Now I ponder that question, but I made it domain member using SQL credentials. Now I have the 3 virtual machines running on the hyper visor, normally I would dedicate a physical server to database programs, and separate the 2, but I'm thinking that the 2 virtual machines constitute separation. Well no awnsers here at the moment, still waiting for an expert to comment on it. [Comment] I did figure out how to setup the web server to run on a hypervisor server core, and the virtual machines are cores as well. Uses much less memory now, I think I bought way too much RAM now. One thing funny is that I run FFMpeg and had to adjust the core to minimum GUI so I can get the shell and scrape it for data. Didn't think of that when I set the server up.
