I am setting up Symantec EndPoint Protect on a Server which uses IIS.
I was not able to view or access the web site so I ran a Window IIS Auth
Diagnostic tool and found the problem to be that the IUSR_ManchineName did
not have the user rights: access this computer from the network. I went to
add the user, but the Add button is grayed out. I researched further and
found out the Add button was grayed out because of the domain group policy.
Last Week I had a major problem with the domain group policy and I prefer not
to edit the group policy. I did notice that the Domain\Users had rights to
access this computer from the network.
My question is: Can I add the local server user: IUSR_ManchineName to the
Active Directory domain users? I noticed that the IUSR_ManchineName2 from
another server that has IIS was an Active Directory domain user. I looked a
copying the IUSR_ManchineName2 or creating a new user, but the user SID would
be different and it will not work with IIS.
There has to be a way to add a local server user to a domain server active
directory, I searched the internet and found nothing......
