Calling windows application exe within web service method

I have 1 web application 1 web service and 1 windows application and I am calling a web service method from web application and in that method i am calling windows application exe. I have put windows application exe on server machine and also host that web service on server machine. If I the web service is hosted on local iis then its working and if it is on server IIS then it gives me Time Out error
Web service executes in the context of the ASP.NET worker process on the Web server. If you use the Process.Start method in an ASP.NET Web page or server control, the new process executes on the Web server with restricted permissions.
Give permission for ASP.NET worker process account to interact with desktop or allow ASP.NET worker process to run in SYSTEM account.
Open Control Panel and follow these steps: For Windows NT: click Services. For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and .NET Server: click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Double-click IIS Admin Service.
On the Log On tab, select the Allow Service to Interact with Desktop check box. Remember to run IIS Admin Service as a local system.
Stop and restart the IIS Admin Service.

Create a ASP.Net web service and deploy on a remote server

I need to create a web service in either 3.4 or 4.5 version of .net framework and deploy it into a windows server 2012 R2 OS.
IIS is been configured on the 2012 SEREVR R2 OS already.
Can anyone provide step-by-step information for this?
This web service would be consumed by a java client for my project.
Also, would like to know what should be the approach, whether i need to wcf service & deploy the same in target server's IIS.
If I create:
asp.net web application in 4.5 framework and add a web service -asmx -file will that be sufficient for me to deploy onto the target server?
How to take the web service code from my dev machine to another machine also.

because the user is not asp expert ... so how to do that ??
is there is a way to make a virtual server or to run localhost ??
my web application within this path :
C:\Users\Samy\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Redcrescent\PrecompiledWeb\Redcrescent
login.aspx the firstpage
You can host the web application on your local machine.. yes, you will need to set up IIS and configure it to do so. Then you would publish the web application to IIS.
You can google how to set up IIS on Windows 7 or whatever operating system you have.
This link will help as well.

ASP.NET MVC + WCF + IIS: Windows authentication doesn't work

We have a web site written in ASP.NET MVC that uses Windows Authentication.
We have a WCF service that we use to connect to the database and reference that service from our MVC site. The web.config for both the site and the service have enabled Windows Authentication and disabled Basic and Anonymous authentication.
Now, the issue is this:
If I restart the IIS and then open a browser in the same computer that has the IIS, everything works fine (even from outside that computer).
If I restart the IIS and then open a browser in an external computer, the WCF service is unable to connect to the database (even from the local machine).
So, if we don't open the site from the host computer before attempting to access it externally it won't work.
We are using impersonation to do the calls to the service from the website.
Any ideas on what can be happening?
your WCF service is impersonating the user of an outside user passed to by IIS passed to by the IE user. You want to hard code your application pool of your IIS we service to use a specific Service Account that has Network Service privileges
its working internally, as its using your identity on the Windows Domain(its in your ie settings in security) but externally this does not work.

How to pass on user's identity from web application hosted in one IIS to the web service hosted in another IIS?

I have a web application (developed in ASP.net 4.0) hosted in IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 R2 machine. Integrated Windows Authentication is turned on for this web application.
I have hosted a web service (developed using WCF) in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. 'Windows Authentication is enabled for this web application too.
I log on to my local machine using my windows domain account. When I browse the web application, it asks me my domain username and password. In web app, I get my identity correctly.
From my machine (using some other Winform app), if I call the same web application (of a web service), service code executes under my windows identity.
So Integrated Windows Authentication works fine independently for both the web apps hosted in separate IIS on different machines.
Problem comes when the web application is browsed from my local machine and web page calls the service internally. In this case, "service does not run under my windows identity" as expected. It either runs under identity of the application pool of either asp.net web app or the web service's web app.
I don't want my web service to take responsibility of authenticating the user. It would use simple basicHttpBinding. It will just read name of the user using CurrentPrincipal or HttpContext etc. Validating user's identity should be done by the IIS only.
Can someone help me to pass on my windows identity from one IIS to another?
You need to set up kerberos delegation as identity won't be passed to another machine by default.
