  Help Reply Contact I am getting this error -    The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.  How do I resolve this. Using windows vista, and IIS 7

  Re: Help Reply Contact Paul McGowan:  How do I resolve this. Well, you need to... Paul McGowan: Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. This is basic Windows security, NTFS file and folder permissions.  You need to add the Network Service account with Modify permission to the folder in question.  (Yes, it says Read, but you'll want Modify...)

  Re: Help Reply Contact Hi, The application pool identity is a built-in account(NetworkService) by default. IIS can only verify those built-in accounts access during runtime. Hence, you got the warning above. You can safely ignore this warning. Also, you can set the application pool identity to a custom account (IIS Manger->Click your application pool->Click Advanced Settings… on the Actions panel->Change the Identity under the Process Model section). Then, grant the account permissions on the physic path. The warning would disappear when you test again.
