Re: create customized user group for IIS similar to IUSR and IIS_IUSRS
IUSR is an account only used for anonymous authentication - it's not used anywhere else. This is because every request must have some user context, so IIS uses IUSR by default when the inbound request doesn't have anything. IIS_IUSRS is a group only used for application pool accounts - WAS dynamically retrieves the token for this when a worker process is starting and assigns it to the app pool account, so anything that group has access to, the worker processes can also access. That being said, you can use whatever accounts or principals you want, as long as they have appropriate permissions. You can change the anonymous account to something else besides IUSR, and the app pool account/identity just needs permission to the folder being hosted so the worker process can actually access content.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: After Windows 2019 CU KB5012647, enabling IIS automatic rebind of renewed certificates gets an error
The fix for this issue for WS2019 was released in the November 2022 patch Tuesday release (EDIT: and the fix for WS2022 was released in the October 2022 cycle - the same KIR stuff that follows has to be applied on both as of this writing); however, the fix is behind KIR (Known Issue Rollback) and has to be enabled via Group Policy. In a few months the KIR will be removed and the fix will be enabled by default afterwards. To enable the fix, you will need to download and install a Group Policy from https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/4/1/0413f07f-a428-4316-9673-2327c328dc34/Windows%2010%201809%20and%20Windows%20Server%202019%20KB5019966%20221129_22351%20Feature%20Preview.msi.

I've not heard of any others experiencing the issue after applying the KIR post-patch. Make sure you go through the process again to ensure it's applied correctly. Also, I'm not sure when, but I'm sure it will be auto-applied soon.5.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Configure GMSA Account for One to One Client Cert Mapping in IIS
Hello Abish, This is not possible still, and likely won't ever be. It's also not a bug because that functionality has to be specifically integrated/added to IIS for it to work that way, which it wasn't. So really it's by-design that it does not work.886Views0likes0CommentsRe: IIS 8.5 and invalid hostnames
Hi Dazzer, This does not occur on my IIS setup. How did you determine that w3wp.exe was the one sending the DNS request? IIS itself doesn't make DNS requests that I'm aware of, so my first thought is if it actually is coming from w3wp.exe, then it's most likely the application being hosted that is making the call.746Views0likes0Comments
