This property specifies the account user name that IIS uses by default as the MTS package identity for newly created IIS out-of-process application packages. 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 NT® user account established at the same time. It is recommended that you do not change the value of this property. If you do change this value, be certain to change it to a valid Windows NT user account, and change WAMUserPass to the corresponding password for the new account.
Note Changes to the value of this property and WAMUserPass may disrupt operation of existing IIS out-of-process application packages. You can synchronize package identities using the MTS Explorer 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 application packages are not affected by these property values.
