I'm trying to publish to a windows server 2003 which happens to also be a domain controller. I need to give a folder permission for uploading by the ASPNET machine account. However, this local account doesn't exist on the server (probably due to Active Directory). How can I resolve this so users can upload files to the folder I created

Did you install ASP.NET? My understanding is that ASP.NET is *not* installed by default under
Windows Server 2003.

Yes it is installed. In Windows 2003 Server you have to got to Add/Remove
Programs to install IIS. I can run ASPNET web pages, but then when I try to
run my "FileUpad.aspx" it fails telling me to give ASPNET account
permissions, but this is a Domain Controller so there is not local ASPNET
Account. How can I rectify this?
