HTMLA "Everyone" Is Always Listed in Operators after Installing Windows NT SP4

ID: Q231172

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In the IIS 4.0 HTML Admin tool (HTMLA), Everyone is always listed in Operators after you install Windows NT Service Pack 4. Everyone can be deleted using HTMLA, but it will reappear after closing and re-entering HTMLA. Other strange symptoms have been reported, but not verified.

The MMC (Microsoft Management Console) lists the correct operators. Actual permissions are not effected.

CAUSE

A regression occurs in the Iiadmhd.asp file that causes Everyone to always appear in the HTMLA.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the MMC.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
