Can anyone enlighten me as to how assembly registration is supposed to work
in the context of .NET Server 2003, given that its permission groupings are
somewhat different than those of Windows 2000.
Out of the box, ASP.NET can't register an assembly on WinServ 2003 because
the worker thread that attempts the registration is using the NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE identity, and that identity doesn't have
permission to access HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the Registry.
It would be straightforward to simply allow NETWORK SERVICE to access HKCR.
However, this seems like a good time to find out whether the assembly should
in fact be registered within HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20_Classes instead? (S-1-5-20
== NETWORK SERVICE).
