Re: setting incoming email

Thanks Jerry!

I found an article that said you should change it through wss central admin
console. Once I did that it worked. Maybe it does something extra on the
backend but if I look at the app pool it is changed to the domain account I
assigned.

Thanks again.

Jack you will need to follow these directions to change the centeral admin
account. Which is what the appliciton pool is useing

Going through these steps should update the application pool as well.

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
