Failed to Impersonate the anonymous user for ASP application.

Hi,
We have a ASP application running on win2k server.
We are trying to install on another windows 2003 server, when we invoke the
application from a browser the page keeps refereshing and nothing loads.
I saw the below event loged under application directory in the event log.
we get the error "Failed to Impersonate the anonymous user for ASP
application. Global.asa onEnd routines will not be executed."

Please let me know how do go ahead.

Regards,
Nataraj

RE: Failed to Impersonate the anonymous user for ASP application.

Check permissions on the application directory. Is anonymous unchecked in the
security settings for the site...check the settings on the iis5 site also.
Run the application pool in iis6 with the same account that the website is
trying to impersonate. Not my expertise, by far, but this may get you
somewhere....

You might also want to use FileMon from sysinternals or the Authdiag tool
supplied by Microsoft I believe
