Re: setting incoming email

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sure,

I log into the wss server and then go into IIS manager, within iis manager I
go into the application pools and change the identity of the application
pool for the site from network service to a domain account(domain admin
account for now) in my active directory.

Once I confirm the password I recycle the application pool and then do an
iisreset.

I then try to log in to the wss 3.0 website and it prompts me for a username
and password but it doesn't allow me in and gives me the "you are not
authorized to view this page" even though i'm an admin.

However once I change the app pool's identity back to network service it
works again. It doesn't even prompt me for a password or login.

any suggestions would be really helpful. This has been driving me crazy.

Thanks again,

Jackson

Hello,

I'm trying to setup incoming email to my wss 3.0 site but i'm running
into issue with changing the app pool identity login.

I changed the app pool for the site and central admin to the same domain
account but when I change it from the network service account to the
domain account and try to login to the site it prompts me for a login.

When I try the third time it gives me the " you are not authorized to
view this page" even though i'm using a domain admin account to login.

Is there anyway i can assign the app pool an domain account and be able
to access the site? I can't grant the network services to the ou in
active directory that's why i need an domain account.

TIA,

Jackson
