In 2.0 what is ASPNETDB.MDF used for? I'm not using any type of security
for this site. Do I need this when deploying?

I've not used .NET 2.0 and not studied any indepth things of it, but I
suppose the Access DB could be used for storing ASP.NET Sessions just as in
..NET 1.1?

In .NET 1.1, if you run
<Drive>:\systemroot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\InstallSqlState.sql,
you can create an Database for maintaining SessionState in SQLServer mode.

>Access DB ??

a MDF is a sql server data file , :-) Access `s Big brother

To answer the question

if you do not or not plan to use the new users , roles management you do not
need it

by the way if you plan to investigate / use it
you should also meet the following requirments to get it working :
SQL Server 2005 Express on the server and having the correct file
permissions on the App_Code folder for NETWORK SERVICE and ASPNET

It is created automatically when you implement Profiles, usually by doing
into the Web Site Administration Tool. It holds the membership data.

If I'm not using profiles/membersips/etc do I need it on my public server?
