This does make it sound like some sort of rights issue to me. I tried
briefly on an NT 4 box, and couldn't get it to work either, but I didn't try
very long.

I'd guess that Lewis's user manager CFX will do the trick for you, although
I haven't tried it personally. In case it doesn't, there's a COM object from
http://www.softwareartisans.com/ called SA-Admin which worked well for me.

Using ADSI, you can script the creation and management of IIS servers,
including FTP servers and virtual web servers. The web-based administration
interface you can install with IIS uses ADSI to do this. Pretty much any
management task can be scripted. If you want to use CF to do this, you can
write Windows Script Component files, then call them using CFOBJECT.
