    Hi All

    I am wondering about FrontPage extensions and Process Isolation in Windows
    2003 Server.

    I have successfully set up a site and added it to an application pool with a
    custom user (for ASPNET).
    I also add a custom account for the IUSR process and add only the users I
    want to the site's directory via NTFS.

    When I add FrontPage extensions to the site, two things happened that are
    the point of my question:

    1-The site is added to the MSSharePointAppPool (I imagine this is for making
    calls to the dll in the bin).
    2-4 users are added to the NTFS permissions in the site dir.

    -INTERACTIVE
    -NETWORK
    -OWS_bunchofnumnbers_admin
    -SYSTEM

    What are the four users for? Can I isolate them?

    Is there any concern about adding the site to another application pool? I
    spent a long time learning to isolate it and would hate to mess up my work.

    Does this second application pool only fire for requests to the bin? It
    seems to. When I call the site and check my processes, the site is still
    running under the account I set for the first pool.

    Are there any links to an msdn article, that offers a further description,
    on these four new accounts and what they are used for?

    Thanks for any responses.
