MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reset Permissions

1. Click Start, and then click Run.



2. Type Cmd in the "Open:" box.



3. Change to the parent directory that contains your virtual servers (for example D:\InetPub).



4. Issue the following command from the command prompt:

   Cacls <foldername> /T /E /R iusr_<machinename> network interactive everyone

   where <foldername> is the name of the home directory for the virtual server, and iusr_<machinename> is the name of the anonymous user on your computer.
   
   (If you want to run this on multiple virtual servers at the same time, you can replace <foldername> with *.* and this command will run on all folders below and on their contents.)



5. Click Start, point to Programs, Windows NT Option Pack, Internet Information Server, and click Internet Service Manager.



6. In Internet Service Manager, click the plus next to the Internet Information Server (IIS) folder.



7. Right-click on the default Web site, point to Tasks, and click Check Server Extensions (If you are prompted to tighten security as much as possible, choose YES).



8. From a command prompt, type the following: net stop iisadmin /y
   net start w3svc
   net start msftpsvc (if you are using the FTP Server)
   net start smtpsvc (if you are using the SMTP Service) NOTE: If you have other services dependent on IIS, you will need to restart them as well. This article is specific to IIS version 4.0; restarting the server for other versions of IIS requires different steps. Consult your server documentation if your are running a different version of IIS.



9. At this point, browse access will be restricted.



10. The following steps need to be done for each virtual server:
    
    
    1. Open the root Web with FrontPage 2000.
    
    
    
    2. On the Tools menu, click Security and then click Permissions.
    
    
    
    3. On the Users tab, select "Everyone has browse access" and click Apply.
    
    
    
    4. Repeat steps b and c for each subweb.
