I'm having the following issue when trying to user an AD group account instead of ApplicationPoolIdentity. When I use ApplicationPoolIdentity everything works fine, but when I use the AD account I get the following error:
Unhandled Execution Error
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.IO.FileLoadException:

System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +288
I tried to use the process monitor to see what was happening and the only thing I got was this:
Result: BAD IMPERSONATION
Path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog
I have given full access to the AD account on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog, but I keep getting the same error.
I'm using IIS 8.5 on Windows 2012.
