Group Policy and Framework asp.net permissions.
We are installing a new web server on a windows 2008 Server R2. Our web pages are failing because of write permissions on the ASP.NEt temporary file directory. If I go in and reset the permissions on the directory so that all users have write access everything works okay for about an hour. It then seems as if the GPO is being applied and the permissions keep getting reset.
The Domain Group Policy is on a Windows 2003 server which is still our Primary Domain Controller.
We do not seem to have this problem on our old web server which is also Windows 2003 server. How can I update the permissions or modify the group policy so that my permissions do not get reset?

add the users i.e. default web site and the app pools to the their own OU and then apply policy as per that group
Want to try changing the temp location?

Excerpt from the above KB article:
Note If you change the machine.config to save the ASP.NET temporary files in a different location, the ASPNET account must have the List Folder Contents access type on the root level of the drive.

I am not sure about moving it out of the GPO. I have turned this over to the company that developed the web app. It was running fine on my Windows 2003 server and the same exact web site is running into this problem on the Windows 2008 R2 server.
I am not very familiar with the inards of GPO and Framework so I think I will just let the developer sort things out.

the above kb article is not relevant .. web sites now show up in the 'users' folder with iis 7 and above, windows 2003 uses iis 5.x
My Plan\thought was
- To try and move the temp-directory for the asp.net out of the default location to some other drives.
==========================
IMO, the default asp.net temp location is: (similar to the following)
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\F

==========================
Note: On my Windows 2008 machine, i dont see the following XML configuration
(tempDirectory) as per the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s10awwz0.aspx ....at my machine.config files.

I moved all of my servers to a separate OU and turned off inheritance. Now each server is using the local rather than the domain group policy which seems to have done the trick,
