Moving ASP.NET Web Application from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003

One thing I have to remember.

The ASPNET user no longer exists and will not be used by the web application when accessing SQL Server.  You will get an error - Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.  This user does not seem to exist, though.  It appears to be hidden but does exist inside the IIS_WPG group.  If you add this group as your SQL Server Login and give it the access permissions previously enjoyed by ASPNET then it should work.
