That account is most likely your ASPNET user account. I've seen the same thing (it turn to numbers instead of the name). Just remove it and re-add the ASPNET user, giving it full access to your wwwroot folder.

Indicates, as far as I know, that the security token isn't recognized. I've only seen this when an account has been deleted or a disk has been moved to a computer in another domain. Any chance this could have been related to another account related to your site? -----Original Message----- From: dotnet discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Erick Thompson Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 9:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] IIS / ASP.NET security settings I am trying to tighten up security on my website, and I've noticed a few problems. If I don't give the Everyone group read/read & execute/list folder contents on the web root, the aspx pages won't work. Even if I give the INET_USR the same permissions, the pages won't work. When I take a look at other security settings, I see this user with an odd name like "8-23-123232 etc" and a question mark where the user (or group) symbol usually is. I assume that this is a utility account that handles directory monitoring and compiling aspx pages, but why can't I see this account in the computer management or security tab? I really don't like giving "Everyone" any access to the website.
