Oh yes - needs permissions. It took some serious investigation to have this work in the first place.

w3wp.exe runs under a user - that user needs access to write to the metabase. To give those rights you need a little tool from Microsoft.

So - you have to give the user running w3wp.exe RWSUED rights using this tool.

If you are running on Win 2008/7, you need to install IIS 6 metabase compatibility kit (or something like that) - you find that in in "Turn on windows features".

Also on Windows 2008 you need to disable UAC.

At hostnordic all of this is done using impersonation. You can also impersonate from the administration of hostheaders.
