FAT64 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 I recently "repaired" Windows, and now IIS won't authenicate anonymous web access. Nothing else has changed. IUSR_server_name has the appropriate read access to the folder. Windows authentication works fine, but I want anyone to be able to access the site (not that it's any good, you understand!). Do I now have to uninstall IIS and reinstall??
tguy Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Yes I believe you do. IUSER_SERVERNAME is the user that is created by IIS at the time of the installation. The password is randomly generated and stored by Windows.If you reinstalled or repaired Windows the password probably changed or perhaps the user account may have even been deleted.I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling IIS to attempt to resolve this problem.
FAT64 Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 Well, I did just that and all seems to be well with the world. Phew!
