PostPosted: Thu May 11, 2006 4:25 pm    Post subject: ASPNET account is missing Reply with quote

My server is running under Windows SBS 2003. I've deleted some directories
that was containing Outlook Web Access files, it was done few months ago by
mistake. Now I want to use OWA for some distant users. So, I tried the
procedure on the MS website:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B883380&x=13&y=19
I've done all of the Method 1, but the files have not been re-created, and I
get this Event:
Event ID: 1047 Metabase Update failed to properly initialize its context. It
will retry initialized every 60 seconds until succeeds or shutdown is
requested.

After few searches, I found that the ASPNET user is used to update the
metabase and that this account was missing in my Active Directory.
I read somewhere that this command may re-create the account:
%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe /i

Or maybe, re-installing dotNet Framework would re-create the account?

Does anybody have already experience and solve this problem?

Thanks.

I don't even see a NetworkService account. For what else this account is
being used? Because everything else seems to run well. And how could I
recover those accounts?

Kevin,

That would be the "Network Service" account.
(There's a space between the words... )

The full account name is "NT Authority\Network Service"

There's a quick rundown of the steps needed to create an account to run ASP.NET as, at :

Also, as just sent to another thread :

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kwzs111e.aspx
for a list of ASP.NET 2.0 directories and the permissions the new ASP.NET account will require.

Thanks for the correction, Juan. I hadn't looked at it in awhile. Should've
checked to make sure.

It's a local account.

You don't really need to run ASP.NEt as that account.

Creating a new account and following the steps in the 3 links I sent you
will have you up and running in almost no time.

There's security problems associated with running ASP.NET on a domain controller if the default
ASP.NET account ( which has a lot of permissions and -therefore- the capability to do a lot of
damage )
is the Network Service account.

Most SBS installations are setup with the SBS box running as a domain controller.

The solution is to create a "weak account" with far fewer permissions on the domain controller,
and run ASP.NET as that account. The links I sent you :

show you what you have to do.
