WAMUserName

  • Article

WAMUserName specifies the account user name that IIS uses by default as the COM+ application identity for newly created IIS out-of-process applications. The values of this property and its companion property, WAMUserPass, are set when IIS is installed, and match the user name and password values in the Microsoft Windows user account, which isestablished at the same time. Changing the value of this property is not recommended. If you do, change it to a valid Windows user account, and change WAMUserPass to the corresponding password for the new account.

note Note Changes to WAMUserName and WAMUserPass may disrupt the operation of existing IIS out-of-process applications. You can synchronize application identitiesusing Component Services to edit the user name and password values, found on the Identity tab of the property sheet for each package. See WAMUserPass for additional information.

In-process applications are not affected by these property values.
