GP web client: Failed to add user to group IIS_IUSRS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 650

I'm trying to install the web client and I keep getting an error:

Failed to add user to group. (-2147463168  username IIS_IUSRS)

Our set-up is a Windows 2012 Server that is also a Domain Controller. I don't see anywhere that I can add the user needed to our local server groups. (I don't see where I can even manage local groups/users.)

I have added the IIS_IUSRS to my AD groups, but I still cannot get past this portion of the installation.

What the heck am I looking for/trying to do here? I've looked over the docs twice and exhausted Goog^H^H^H^H Bing looking for the answer.

Thanks for your help.

    Ahhh... Add a sercurity group using AD users and computers and under the "Group Scope" choose Domain Local. Add the username you need to that group, and the install works.

    Well, that was a fun three hours. Sorry, I found the answer after I could no longer delete this post.
