I can't find that account either, unless...

On one Server 2003, I do not have IIS6 installed/activated (I have not yet
indentified any roles this server will have). On another Server 2003, I do.
In Computer Management control panel, Local Users and Groups, Users, I see
IUSR_<machinename>.

On the third hand, this built-in name will not show when searching for
objects when adding names to the Security tab of Folder Properties, nor, I
would imagine, any other place where you can pick names of Users or Groups.

I think it's just a name you have to know about.


Now, SQL Server 2005 Express - I just finished installing that. What a
fracking nightmare!
