CAUSE
This issue may occur if you try to run the ASP.NET 2.0 application after you perform an in-place upgrade of the existing Windows Server 2003 installation by using a Windows Server 2003 CD that is integrated with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
When you perform an in-place upgrade, the upgrade process resets the permissions on the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase and on other folders that are used by ASP.NET.
Therefore, the custom service account will not have permissions to access these folders, and you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
Note An in-place upgrade is also known as a "repair installation."

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure the custom service account by using the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility. At a command prompt, run the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility from ASP.NET 2.0 by using the
-ga switch:
Aspnet_regiis –ga AccountName
Note In this command,
AccountName represents the custom service account.
For example, you can run the following command to grant permissions to the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account:
aspnet_regiis -ga "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE"
.
