When trying to set a domain user id in application pool identity, IIS 8 on Server 2K12, getting error: "The specified password is invalid. Type a new password."
The service account is having below setup
> member of local IIS_USRS group
> OU level GPO set up "deny logon through terminal services"
> pwd is aplhanumeric however does not have any special character
> Account is set to password never expires
> have verified, pwd is correct
> Using local policy, added IIS_USRS to logon as batch and logon as service
> If try anyother domain account with local admin, it works fine but not the service account
Are there any other pre-requisites?
Are there any pwd complexities required?
none of the articles I browsed are helping. Most solutions talk about IIS7, not sure if any differences for IIS8
