Don't quote me on this, but I think as long as you specify it in IIS Manager, then you're fine. Same goes for renaming it - just rename the account in Users and Groups and then update it in IIS Manager...
I noticed this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822165 If the accounts are not present, it will recreate them when you restart the IIS Admin Service....it mentions making custom IUSR and IWAM accounts, so I see no reason you can't do it - you just might have to tweak things. cb -----Original Message----- From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IUSR_SERVER This account is created when IIS is installed, right (actually IUSR_<SERVERNAME>)? Is there any reason this account can't be manually created? I have a server that some developers want me to rename to quite literally SERVER, then reload IIS so the IUSR_SERVER account gets created. Seems asinine to me....
