IIS 503 error for App Pool user after reboot, unless App Pool identity set as Administrator

After a reboot of a Windows 2008 R2 server, one particular App Pool stopped functioning and a 503 error is produced.

This App Pool runs as a specific user

If I change the account this run under to be an Administrator of the server, it works. Also, if I change from the user to ApplicationPoolIdentity is works as well.

The following settings of the App Pool are different from a default value

Without being set as an Administrator, the error message is specifically

Application pool ASP.NET v2.0 Classic has been disabled. Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) encountered a failure when it started a worker process to serve the application pool.

Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this after a reboot and requiring this user to be an Administrator?

Have you checked that the account running the app pool is in the IIS_IUSRS group in User Manager (lusrmgr.msc)

Cheers
