I have a web service running on a Windows 2003 server (IIS). The server is a member server, not a domain controller. The service must run under a separate application pool because it needs to have additional permissions that the default application pool does not provide. The web service is setup to run under a separate domain user account name, and the application pool runs under the same account name.
Everything was working fine until the domain server crashed. Unfortunately, I did not have a backup domain controller, so I had to rebuild the domain controller (now I have a backup controller). I recreated all of my user accounts, including the one used to run the web service and its application pool. Now when I try to access the web service through a browser, I get "Service Unavailable". My web applications that use the service return error 503 Service Unavailable. If a change the web service to run under the default application pool, the web service will then run, but it does not have the necessary permissions.
I have tried to recreate the application pool and even give it a different name, but I still cannot get the web service to run under the separate application pool. Does any one know how to fix this?

When you rebuilt the domain controller the SID changed for the user account even though you estabilished an account with an identical name.
You will need to recreate the permissions for the application pool.
