Application Pool Identity set to Local System But Installing as ApplicationPoolIdentity

Version 3.14.15926

I have set the Application Pool Identity to Local System, created a new release and deployed the new release to and existing environment that already had the previous release. I manually set the application pool to Local System there with no problem.
However, when I deployed from octopus it went back to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
In the Task Log, Octopus records "Set application pool identity: ApplicationPoolIdentity"
and that is confirmed on the deployment target.

Any solutions?

Check your deploy steps one of them probably has the apppool identity set to "ApplicationPoolIdentity’ its usually the Deploy to IIS step that will have it.

There is nowhere else that has it set to application pool identity.
I can also be sure of that, since in the same place that I am setting Local
System, if I choose Custom User, it does work.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

Are you able to share the server, tentacle and task logs for this, that will help debug what’s going on.

Also, a screen shot of the step would be great - you can also output JSON of the process from the api at /api/deploymentprocesses/deploymentprocess-
