Heh, it would seem that permissions are not set correctly as you are able to
connect to the Web site using an account with administrator permissions.
Perhaps you meant to say that the permissions were set as per the
recommendations you've received so far?

If that is the case, then you may want to double check what account IIS is
in fact using. Are you running Web sites in their own memory space or not?
Are these ColdFusion sites, HTML, etc.? Do your security logs tell you
anything? Any additionally information would be helpful.

All permissions are set correctly.  I still have the same problem though.
Microsofts knowledge base isnt much use either.  This is threatening to kill
my weekend at this point :(

If you are running Web sites in their own memory space, then the IWAM
account for the machine (either in the domain SAM if your Web server is a
domain control or on the local machine's SAM otherwise) needs read access to
the Web site directories. If the Web sites are running in shared memory
space, then the IUSR account needs read access.

You may want to make sure that the SYSTEM account (or whatever account you
run ColdFusion under) has at least read to the directories if these are
ColdFusion sites. Judging by your description of the problem, however, this
is probably not the problem.

The only other accounts that should have permissions to files in the Web
site directories are, of course, the administrative account, and those users
who need special permissions for FTP, password protected web sites, etc. Do
not give the Guest account or the Everyone group access.

I have a really screwed up problem.  For some reason anyonymous access to
all the sites on one of our servers has stopped and cannot be viewed on the
net.  Everything looks fine in IIS.  If i switch anonymous access to an
administrator account everything all the websites can be viewed, however FTP
access for all users is still not working.  Im running IIS 4 with service
pack 6.  Anyone experience a problem like this before?
