IUSR account, give some of the administrator right

Hi everyone,

I was wondering something about the IUSR account and I didn't find a better place to discuss it than here.

I understood that giving administrator right to the IUSR account is a really bad idea, but from now, I didn't get a better solution to my problem.

So, in my application (ASP.NET) I tried to get some Metrics about my server, in this purpose I retrieve them with a WMI connection and some queries on Win32_LogicalDisk. But for this I have to be an admin, so I tried using a remote connection with my admin credentials, but it failed because the IUSR blocked the connection by another user when my website it's running.

So, I need to set right to IUSR, except putting it in the admin group, to access to Win32_LogicalDisk.


Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Sylvain.
