The Current identity (NTAUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE) does not have unit access

This error "The Current identity (NTAUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE) does not have unit access to 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files'" is caused due to incorrect configuration of IIS for ASP.NET framework 2.0 and above.



To solve this, we can easily override the faulty settings and re configure the IIS using the following steps...



1. Click start and run the command 'cmd'.

2. Go to the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727>".

3. Run the command "aspnet_regiis -i".

4. This installs the required files and configure the web service extensions too.







By running the command "aspnet_regiis -i", you install this version of ASP.NET and update script maps at the IIS metabase root and for all scriptmaps below the root. Existing scriptmaps of lower version can be updated to this version.




Also note that, the webservice Extensions has permission 'Allowed' to the 'ASP.NET'. Make sure, you have given the Allowed permission as shown and highlighted in the image.








Hope this helps.



Good Luck!!
