When I set my personal user account in to "connect as" everything was alright.

Question : what must fulfill service account to right use? Or any suggestion whot I must change, try or verify?

Answer 1

You should be able to use the Setting "ApplicationPoolIdentity" for Identity in the Pool Advanced-Properties.

Usually your folder security settings must grant read, execute, browse folder and read for the local group IIS_IUSRS.

if you did both, the conversion to application should work.
