Hello,

I have an ASP web app with an SQL back end. I am currently migrating to a
new Windows 2003 Server machine and SQL Server 2005 Express. When I import
the old database, I'm trying to grant the IUSR_MachineName account access to
the database, but I can't seem to find that user account. I'm clicking new
users, and when I type this user in, SQL doesn't recognize it, and when I
click "Browse" all I see is BUILTIN/Administrators, BUILTIN/Users NT
Authority/System SA (which is not in use) and a long name that includes a
lot of dollar signs, the machine name and SQL express in it (it's a big
cryptic looking thing). Any idea how I get this to work again?

Thanks!
