When I attempt to enable Write permissions (page 664-667 Network Service Enabling)for app_Data folder I do not have the NETWORK SERVICE account available. Do I need to do something different for Windows 2000 Pro?

I am having the same issue. What was/is the solution?
Thanks

I don't have the book, so I may be wrong about what you're trying to do, but there's a fair chance you need the ASPNET account.

On Win2000, that's the account used by ASP.NET while the Network Service account is used on Server 2003.
