Re: Sharepoint migration "IIS application pool username is invalid



have you looked at this documentation from MS site?

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/sharepoint/movewsdb.mspx

Just to test the user, you could try to create a new application pool, sets
its identity to the same as the one for sharepoint. Create a new IIS
website and try to naviage on a simple html page. If its not working than
you'll know that its not related to a Sharepoint config.
