RE: [aus-dotnet] ASP.NET on DC permissions

[Paul Glavich]

I have only checked this thread recently so apologies if this has already
been discussed or I am somewhat misinformed, but I didn't see any mention of
OS type (I didn't search back too far though ;-). If you changed the
identity in the machine.config, and it's a Win2k3 machine, then it wont be
honoured and instead use the App pool identity, so you might be accessing
the DB under a different user than expected.

I've seen this problem before, in my case I believe that what Matthew
suggested was what finally fixed it for me.
