Objective: In this step, you enable Web service publishing by configuring Internet Information Services (IIS) and Windows user and group accounts.
Purpose: Publishing Web services enables you to create a Web service that can submit messages to BizTalk Server for use by orchestrations and other send adapters. You use the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard to create published Web services.
On Windows XP, the BizTalk Server Web services run in the ASP.NET worker process (aspnet_wp.exe). This process runs under the ASPNET user context by default. To provide access to the BizTalk Management database, you must add the local ASP.NET user account to the BizTalk Isolated Host Users group.
For more information about publishing Web services in BizTalk Server, see Publishing Web Services.
