IUSR_machinenameI have IIS5.0 installed on Windows XP SP2. By default, in "IIS Directory
Security Anonymous access and authentication control" has: Anonymous access TICKED Allow IIS to control password TICKED Integrated Windows authentication TICKED Account used for anonymous access IUSR_machinename & password asterisks For my webapps to work I UNTICK "Allow IIS to control password" and can log into my webapps. I assume IUSR_machinename has a blank password, even though IIS filled in password asterisks in the textbox. Somehow now IIS changed the Account used for anonymous access. I want to use IUSR_machinename account again, but my webapps are not working anymore coz of the blank password? Does anyone know how to setup IUSR_machinename just like before? Hi Andrew,
IUSR account does not have a blank password. Password is something random and is assigner when the account is created. I tested this on IIS 6 and if you delete IUSR account and restart IIS Admin service it will recreate it. I don't know if this will work on IIS 5. -- Show quoteHide quoteMike Microsoft MVP - Windows Security "Andrew Wan" <andrew_wan1***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:ewDpC5GGHHA.4804@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have IIS5.0 installed on Windows XP SP2.
