Here is the syntax for writing a simple batch file that checks the user name of the account that is running the script, and then executes a VBScript file if the user name is positively matched.

Correcting 404 Errors in IIS 6 When Running an ASP.NET ASPX Page
I was setting up a new Web Server that had been pre-installed with Windows 2003, IIS 6 and ASP.NET 2.0. The catch was that when I set up a new Web site on the server, I would get a 404 error page when the server was asked to serve up ASP.NET files (aka: files with the .aspx extension). Other files such as standard .html and .asp would render without problems.
I was a bit mystified until I realized that the setup of the pre-installed version of ASP.NET 2.0 on the server likely was done before IIS setup. Thus, although IIS showed ASP.NET 2.0 as an option, ASP.NET wasn’t properly registered with IIS.
