Deploying ASP.NET MVC application on Microsoft IIS server fail

Question

Hi I'm trying to deploy an ASP.NET MVC application to the IIS server and I get the following error:

Web deployment task failed. (The account 'ASPNET' does not appear to be valid. The account was obtained from this location: 'AspNetWorkerProcessIdentityName'.)

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Many thanks

Your server OS?WinServer 2003? Do you have an account 'ASPNET' on this server? — ValidfroM

I know this is an old post, but in case someone landed here recently trying to find a solution to this, try referencing this SO post:

For me it was just a matter of closing Visual Studio and reopening it again.

This might be a late answer, but just in case somebody encounter this. In my situation, just as Ryan mentioned I just had to close and open Visual Studio again.

I solved this issue by updating the Process Model Identity in the relevant Application Pool
