Help needed understanding IIS user

Windows Server R2, machine webserver1

I have an asp page that uses the filesystem object to create
directories and files on a network share. It does this by using the
UNC path, e.g. \\myfileserver\share\pfolder\prj1125

When I attempt to execute this page, what user does myfileserver "see"
is trying to create the folder. Does it see \\mydomain\ user> or does it see \\webserver1\iusr_webserver1 to check if the
create operation is allowed?

Typically with anonymous access enabled it will be IUSR_wevserver1. Being a
guest account with no access to the network (since its a local machine
account unless the server is also a DC) your code will fail.
