[Amit Bansal]

hi,
I have some probel with permissions in retail 2002 sites. My enviornemnt is
as follows:-

Win2k3 (pls note: no service pack installed)
cs2002 developer edition with sp3 (no fp1)
sql server 2000 enterprise edition with sp4

I have successfully unpacked the retail 2002 site but fowlling are
problems:-

1. when i run http://localhost/retail2002, i get access denied. and it talks
abit aspnet machine a/c etc.

What I did:- surprisingly, i do not have "network service" a/c under users,
instead i have aspnet so i added aspnet to all the the databases with
priviliges "public" and "dbowner" - but it did not work.
under application pool indetity in iis - it shows Network service.

-i am aware that the aspnet a/c in win2k3 is network service, but in my
win2k3, it shows aspnet only.

I dont know how to ge the site running. Please help. everything else seems
to work fine.

2. i have successfully started the business desk, by navigating to
http://localhost/retail2002bizdesk/default.asp . when i start the business
desk i get the following error.

"The application is unable to log events. if you have recently changed your
password, you must change the password for the commerce logging event object
in component services and for each commerce server winodws 2000 service. you
must then restart business desk."

- i have never changed my passwords since win2k3 installation.
- the error refers to windows2000 services, but i have win2k3
- how can restart the business desk?
- finally what is the solution to this error, thouh this error is not a
critical one, as i feel.

but the previous one is. please help me to run the retail 2002 site.

Hi Amit,

1. You have to change the identity of the Default App Pool to aspnet or
IWAM.... (the documentation states you make ASPNET part of the IIS_WPG group
and give permission in SQL for IIS_WPG as public to the MSCS_Admin & Site
database Retail2002_commerce)

2. As part of the post installation documentation you must change the
security permission (using Component Management or dcomcfg) for Commerce
Server List Manager, Commerce Server Reporting. OR you can give access/lauch
permissions to aspnet a/c is that is your service account.

The permissions required and how to set them are available as part of the
product documentation. As part of the Commerce Server product installation
there are some components deloyed. The service accounts have to be give
appropriate permissions at the COM+ level for them to work properly.
