userName="machine" didn't work



Thanks for responding. Boy, you really had me excited that specifying the
userName as machine was going to solve my problem, but it didn't.

First, let me mention that the processModel section of my machine.config
looked like this after install:

<processModel autoConfig="true"/>

Was I supposed to know to add the userName attribute? Or did something not
install properly? The only reason I know of the userName attribute is from
the research I did trying to resolve this problem. My assumption was that by
leaving it off, it would default to ASPNET.

Regardless, I tried what you suggested, and it didn't work. Here is what my
processModel section looked like:

<processModel userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate" autoConfig="true"/>

Here is the exact error:
