I have no idea what I have done, but If i use the IWAM_machine account to
run the IIS service under, the service will not start --UNLESS --- I put the
IWAM account in the domain admins security group.

I am running IIS 6, and windows 2000 server. I guess that this means the
permissions on the IWAM account, or on the NTFS filesystem are wrong - but I
cannot fins any documentation that gives mw the default settings.

Can anyone help me - I don't want ot leave the IWAM account in Domain admins
group.

Cheers,

Kevin
