title: trying to give permissions to specific app pool identity in IIS 7.5 - "object cannot be found"
body: <p>Usually, I give access rights to folder based on the app pool identity, in the format of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IIS AppPool\[app_pool_name]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On this particular new server, when I try to edit the security settings of a folder, and add that particular user entry, I am getting a </p>
  
  <pre><code>"object IIS AppPool\XXXXXX cannot be found"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea why is this?  I verified that the application pool is set to <code>ApplicationPoolIdentity</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I am using IIS 7.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2.</p>
