I just installed a new Umbraco instance on a Windows Server 2008 R2 using IIS 7.5 and MS SQL Express 2008.
I took the following steps:
1. Unzipped v4.7.0.378.zip to a local folder
2. Set the security permissions of that folder so that NETWORKSERVICE has full access
3. Created a DB named Umbraco in the \SQLEXPRESS instance
4. Created an SQL user named Umbracouser and set the required permissions for the Umbraco DB
5. Cahnged the Umbraco apppool to use NETWORKSERVICE
6. Opened Umbraco in IE and completed the installation
Now everything seems to work fine. But when I go to the Members section and create a new member type I can save it with no errors but afterwards the Member Types node is still empty. Also the Memebers node is empty and not showing the a to z subfolders.
I installed another Umbraco instance on my development machine using Web Matrix which worked fine but I just can't get this instance to work. So I would be glad if anybody could give me some hints what may be wrong here.
Is your application pool for this instance actually using the Network Service user? It seems like a permissions problem, but I can't be sure.
If that isn't the problem, you should probably try and have a look with Fiddler2 what kind of error is returned underwater when trying to open up the members list.
I've just migrated an umbraco instance from staging to live, and my member tree is empty, but when I check dbo.cmsMember in the database the members are all present and correct....
New members and member types invisible in new installation

I checked that and the AppPool is using Network Service...
I am currently setting up a new clean machine for another installation I will check if the problem there occurs also.
Additionally I will have look with Fiddler2...
Did you get to the bottom of this?
