ASPNET User Account in Vista(64 bit)...

Hi,

I donot find the ASPNET user account in windows vista. I use ASP.NET 2.0, IIS 7, on vista 64 bit.
ASP.NET is properly installed.

Anyone knows how to create the ASPNET account?
I find another user account:: NT AUTHORITY/NetworkService in SQL Server. Is this account equivalent to ASPNET user account in Vista ultimate 64 bit system?

I face problems in configuring SDKv2.0 Quick start samples.... Please find the logs below.... Anyone please help.

You wouldn't. The ASPNET account is on XP. On Vista it's the NETWORK SERVICE account that is the default ASP.NET process account. Unless you chnage it to something else.

Hi jeff,

The Error log of sql install wizard looks for the ASPNET account. Please see the log...

1. Why? Any changes to be done prior to install?

When I tried manually the sql command, sqlcmd -E -S (local)\SQLExpress -Q "sp_grantlogin RAMESH-PC\NETWORKSERVICE", it says invalid Windows NT domain id...
I tried with sqlcmd -E -S (local)\SQLExpress -Q "sp_grantlogin NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE", it gives error..

2. Its not taking the PC name as domain id...What is the valid domain id of NetworkService?
Any other solutions...

Thanks,
