Hey
I'm trying to add a hostheader to a site in IIS. The problems is that i can do this on my developer machine witch is running Win xp SP2. But when I try it on the online server witch is running win 2003 RC1. I get Access is denied error. By using impersonate I can get administrative privileges to update the IIS.
Error:
Access is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

I'm 100% sure the user I’m impersonating have administrative privileges. I'm wondering if Microsoft has changed security levels so it can't be done any more on a win 2003 server.
The strange part is I can access the IIS and get a list over all Sites, but I can’t update a site or create a new one.
