Hello,

I have researched and tried every thing I have found on the web, in groups
and MS KB articles. Here is what I have.

I have a Windows 2000 Domain Controller all service packs and every thing
else from windows update.
.NET 1.0 and 1.1 installed on the server. Actually .NET was installed
before the server was made a DC.

This server is a VMWare virtual machine so when I have the ability to roll
back all changes and "try" again.

What I am trying to do is impersonation. I have a VERY simple test site
that I am using to get impersonation to work on a DC. The site name is
"test" and the only page is "default.aspx" with the content of "test page".
Pretty complex I know..... ha

Now, the web site works perfect with just that content. It will display
"test page" in the web browser. But if I add a web.config file with
impersonation added to the web.config i receive the error "Access denied to
'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\Default.aspx'. Failed to start monitoring file
changes."

The user that I have added to the impersonation element is none other than
the Domain administrator account. I am just using it for fun to get this
stuff to work. The final product will run under a normal user with hopefully
only the required rights to run the site. But you know what how can I
figure that out when i can't even get a domain administrator to work in
impersonation.

I am loged in as the Administrator created all of the content and testing
while using the same account to impersonate with. So I do not see how the
administrator account cannot have access to files IT just created!

What can I do to allow this user to work? What must I do then to make a
standard domain user to work. Answers please!! It seems no one knows how or
why this happens and I have seen where people have burned MSDN support calls
and STILL do not have a solution.
