1. Obvious of course, but it makes the server more secure
2. Easier to monitor any permissions that have changed
3. Increases your learning curve drastically
Hi Paul,
It's quite likely you didn't miss anything.
Although I don't speak for Phil, I do know he is still fine-tuning the Witango Installers a bit for Windows 2003 Server.
Windows 2003 Server is a different bred of OS.
Permissions on Windows 2003 Server are "denied" be default for most everything - as opposed to the opposite in earlier versions of Windows.
As you setup your Server, you have to explicitly grant access to everything - even built-in Services like IIS. This is part of Microsoft's attempt to make a more secure environment.
Good or bad, it'll force us to learn more about our own Servers, and that can only be a good thing :-)
Cheers.......

We made the mistake of adding the extension from the command prompt and set the deletable flag to 0 by mistake making the delete option not available. When we edited the metabase.xml file, our changes were being overwritten. We found out you have to stop all of the web services including IIS Admin and then make the changes.
Thanks Scott!!! for pointing us in the right direction.
After getting passed that point we still had a permissions issue. The file would still not display until we gave the IUSR account read access to the INETPUB folder and everything below it (to allow access to wiis.dll). Is that part of the setup or did we miss something.
Thanks!!!

Just make a right mouse-click and select "delete" :-)
