Administering an ISP Installation

Multiple Virtual Servers

The following procedure shows how to reset permissions for multiple virtual servers, each with multiple sub-webs that have unique permissions. First, you have to restrict browser access, and then reset permissions on each virtual server.

To restrict browser access

From the document root (which contains the virtual servers on which you need to reset permissions), open a command prompt.
If you are dealing with the Default Web Site (found in the C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot directory, by default), open a command prompt and change to the C:\Inetpub directory. Then, type the following command:
```
cacls wwwroot /T /E /R iusr_computername network interactive everyone
```
However, the Wwwroot directory is just an example. Substitute your content directory’s path in the preceding command.
From the IIS snap-in, right-click the virtual server on which you want to change permissions, select All Tasks, and then click Check Server Extensions.
Select Yes when you see the following prompt: Do you want to tighten security as much as possible?
At this point, Browse access will be restricted.

Once you are in the site with FrontPage, turn Anonymous access on.

To enable Anonymous access

Open the root web with FrontPage.
From the Tools menu in FrontPage, click Security and then Permissions.
On the Users tab of the Permissions property sheet, select Everyone has browse access, and click Apply.
Repeat the previous step for each sub-web that was set with unique permissions.
