There are tons of posts on this and I think I have read them all at least twice, but still am having trouble. For now, never mind security, if I can get this to work, I'll start re-applying restrictions.
Goal: Run an exe file, like Notepad.exe, from ASP.NET 1.1, on a Win 2003 Server
I have:
Set the application Pool identity to LocalSystem (I am running in native IIS6 worker Process Isolation mode)
Set the user in machine.config to "SYSTEM" (Yeah, I know this is ignored under native IIS6)
Set the Anonymous user to Administrator (bad, I know, just show me notepad)
Set the IIS Service to "Allow service to interact with desktop"
Given Everyone (and their brother) full access to system32
Made IUSER_machinename a member of Administrators
Set the Web application to impersonate the local machine Administrator
Is there some way to just turn freakin sec ...
Go to the complete details ...
