Determining which account the .NET process model is using

[lbauer]

To determine which account the .Net Process model is using:

-- In IIS 5.0, examine %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v.YYY\Config\machine.config. Search for the "processModel" element and the "username" attribute.

In the example below, the .NET Process is using the machine account, which is the <machinename>\ASPNET account on IIS 5.0 or the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account on IIS 6.0.


<processModel
enable="true"
timeout="Infinite"
idleTimeout="Infinite"
shutdownTimeout="0:00:05"
requestLimit="Infinite"
requestQueueLimit="5000"
restartQueueLimit="10"
memoryLimit="60"
webGarden="false"
cpuMask="0xffffffff"
userName="machine"
password="AutoGenerate"

-- In IIS 6.0, open up the Internet Information Administrator. Examine the properties for the "application pool." Look for the account used to run the process model.
