IIS 6.0 & Windows 2k3 question
-
The scenario is this - a Web Service that was developed on a XP box has been deployed on IIS 6.0 & Win2k3 m/c. The Win2k3 m/c also has VS.NET 2003 installed on it. issue #1. The web service needs to launch a third party process (lets call it abc.exe) to work properly. This step fails on the Win2k3 box. w3wp.exe is running under the default NETWORK SERVICE user privileges. Is there a way to enable/set privileges to the NETWORK SERVICE account so that the ASP.NET worker process has the ability to launch any/specific process? [i tried launching Notepad.exe thru the web service & it seems to launch this successfully.] issue #2 i expected to debug the web service on the Win2k3 m/c via VS.NET but it fails with the message "... Unable to start debugging on web server. The project not configured to be debugged.". I verified the project settings between my XP & Win2k3 m/c & they are identical. Now i'm beginning to suspect that the Win2k3 default lock-down security is the culprit. Any pointers? I even added the user to the "Debugger Users" group as suggested in the docs to no avail. Any help is appreciated. TIA. Chen Venkataraman
