Hi,

I guess you've seen the post I raised a while ago on this. The following
suggestion by Steven Cheng worked for me:

2. You can also specify it for only a certain web application(rather than
the whole machine) in the web.config via the <identity impersonate="true"
userName=".." password=".."/>
This is more recommended.

Not sure if I had the same issue as you though, as I was trying to run an
app locally, and the app used a few aspx pages on a share via a virtual
directory...
