Cant find ASPNET user account -- iis security

After setting up AD, I installed .NET 1.1 on the DC I am
serving websites on. This machine runs W2k Adv. Server
fully patched on IIS 5.

Previously the .NET installation created a user called
ASPNET (or similar) that one could give permissions to on
directory level in order to serve .aspx pages correctly.

After installing .NET on the DC in AD environment, I
cannot find the ASPNET user in AD users and computers,
and thus cannot serve .aspx files outside my wwwroot
folder.

How do I solve my problem?

It is looking for a local ASPNET account, which you can't
have on a DC. You need to create a domain account, assign
the correct NTFS permissions and user rights to it and
then modify the ProcessModel section in your
machine.config to use the domain account and password.

Here is the ASP.Net v1 version of the KB article (trying to find the v1.1
version):

Either you need to use the LocalSystem account, or specify an appropriate
domain account.
