How can we add ASP.NET Machine account in windows server 2003

I wand to download the files in Windows server 2003. For that the ASP.Net application needs access control to the directory. I searched the ASP.NET Account. But I cannot find. How Can i find or add? Any one please help

IF I try to add the ASPNET account using User Accounts panel. I cannot open the localusers It says an error "the computer is a domain controller. This snap-in cannot be used on a domail controller. Domain accounts are managed with active directory users and computers snap-in"

Try executing this command in command prompt:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnetregiis.exe -i -enable

Note that v4.0.30319 will be different based on the .NET version you want. If .NET 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5, it'll be v2.0.50727 (because both use .NET 2.0 CLR).

Also, try right click my Computer, choose "Manage" and navigate to "System Tools", then "Local Users And Groups", then "users" for local users management of a machine even being memeber of a domain.

Update:

I assumed you know this, but just in case: Note that in Windows 2003, the ASP.NET account is not called "ASPNET" like Windows XP. It's called "NetworkService". Maybe this is the catch?

Domain Controllers can't have local accounts. This KB article is for ASP.NET 1.0, but I think it is still relevant to your problem. You'll have to set ASP.NET up to run either as the local system account or as a specific domain account.
