Further experimentation ...

I changed the App Pool Identity to "Administrator" and then it worked!
Obviously I don't want to run my ASP.NET service under the Administrator
user, so I created a new user named "CustomASPNET" and added it to the
IIS_WPG, but it didn't work. So then just for fun I added CustomASPNET into
the exact same groups as the Administrator account but it STILL didn't
work!! What the heck could be going on here?

Some more info:
1. My Server 2003 box is a PDC
2. I am running Exchange 2003
Do either of these mean anything?

I will see what other information I can find on this. As I suspected, it is
a permissions related issue.

Try this.
Use regedt32.exe
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\ASP.NET_1.1.4322\Names.


Open the Security tab, and add the worker process identity with the
following
permissions:
Query Value
Set Value
Create Subkey
Enumerate Subkeys
Notify
Read Control

Hey that worked!!

Being that I have a very vanilla installation of Windows Server 2003, I
think this solution deserves a Knowledgebase Article ... I definately would
have never figured this out on my own and I spent half a day or so looking
around on Google, Microsoft Support, MSDN, etc before posting the question
here.

Thanks a million!!
