FYI ... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of tech forum Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 18:29 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Do not use IIS lockdown tool Microsoft PSS told me the IIS lockdown tool should not be used on a Exchagne 2000 Server. The Exchagne guru at Microsoft looked at what the tool did. He found that because of Exchange 2000 reliance on IIS 5, the tool distrupts Exchange. I asked him if Microsoft are gong to let people know and he said he would speak to his supervisors about letting people know. We used the undo feature and the virtual servers reset to an old IP. Under Exchange System Manager, server, protocols, virtual servers it still said all the IP were the correct IPs. We went to the IIS metabase and all the old info had been reset by the IIS lockdown tools, undo feature. To my knowledge Microsoft still have not released the info they told me.
