Answer 1

You can change the ApplicationPoolIdentity from IIS7 -> Application Pools -> Advanced Settings.

Under ApplicationPoolIdentity you will find local system. This will make your application run under NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, which is an existing login for the database by default.

Edit: Before applying this suggestion you should note and understand the security implications.
