IWAM and IUSR accounts do not match hostname

Thanks for the reply. However, I am trying to avoid having to reinstall IIS. I would rather know how the system creates the accounts and where it gets the names. I have deleted the accounts and when they get recreated they come back as the image name and not the host name. I believe it is somewhere in the IIS metabase but am unsure.

You can remove and reinstall IIS if you wish to have the accounts
automatically created. Or you can create them yourself and look through
