what permission need to call Microsoft.Web.Administration namespace?

Reply Contact

I have a windows service, which run through Network Service account. In this windows service, I have a method (c#) which call Microsoft.Web.Administration to get a physical path for a web application hosted on IIS 7 (win2k8 64bit server) :

Site site = serverManager.Sites["Default Web Site"];

Application app = site.Applications["/MyVirDir"];

string s = app.Path;

However, the windows service failed due to permission issue, changing windows service Identity to Local System made it work.

However, I am not allowed to raise security level on this windows service. Are there any other options to get physical path?

Thank you in advance

I am not sure if the account you use to run this service has enough rights to access %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config.

If it can read that XML file, you can get almost all IIS settings from it.
