iis security : IIS lockdown - odd log entrys
Just installed IIS on my XP pro box and decided to run the IIS lockdown tool, all seemed to go fine but I got the following in the report at the end: .. .. .. Warning: Unable to secure content (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\comrepl.exe): Access is denied. Warning: Unable to secure content (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\migregdb.exe): Access is denied. Warning: Unable to secure content (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB835732$\helpctr.exe): Access is denied. .. .. .. why was it even trying to access these files!? Also, I ran windows update after installing IIS and it found no updates! I found that odd - I do have service pack 2 however, could that be why I needed no updates for IIS (even tho I did not have it installed when I installed SP2!)? IISlockdown reports I am all uptodate with patches for IIS - should I trust it? cheers guys!
Not sure why you get access is denied, but I believe iislockdown is trying
to configure the ntfs permission so that anonymous access do not have write access to those paths. iislockdown do not tell you what patch is missing, you can do this via windows update or get MBSA from microsoft.com -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.tryiis.com/ http://support.microsoft.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Gav" <gavin@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:7da6364d.0412040936.6a8ae5e2@posting.google.com... > hi all, > > Just installed IIS on my XP pro box and decided to run the IIS > lockdown tool, all seemed to go fine but I got the following in the > report at the end: > . > . > . > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\comrepl.exe): Access is denied. > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\migregdb.exe): Access is denied. > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB835732$\helpctr.exe): Access is denied. > . > . > . > > why was it even trying to access these files!? > > Also, I ran windows update after installing IIS and it found no > updates!

cheers for the info - sounds like its not too big a deal - any opinions
as to whether I should worry? I checked the directory security and there is no anonymous access but when I try to check the actual files mentioned I dont get the security tab - just lots of options for how it should be run in DOS mode! Other files in the directories do show the security tab... why would this be? I have indeed run MBSA and it seems to say all is well in terms of patches. gav [quoted text, click to view] Ken Schaefer wrote:

Hi,
IISLockdown is probably trying to secure NTFS permissions for those file to prevent an anonymous user from executing them. However, those files are already located in protected directories. There are no post-SP2 patches for IIS on Windows XP. When you installed IIS, even if you had already installed SP2, it should request SP2 binaries if required. To verify, you can use Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser: www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx Cheers Ken [quoted text, click to view] "Gav" <gavin@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:7da6364d.0412040936.6a8ae5e2@posting.google.com... > hi all, > > Just installed IIS on my XP pro box and decided to run the IIS > lockdown tool, all seemed to go fine but I got the following in the > report at the end: > . > . > . > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\comrepl.exe): Access is denied. > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB828741$\migregdb.exe): Access is denied. > Warning: Unable to secure content > (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB835732$\helpctr.exe): Access is denied. > . > . > . > > why was it even trying to access these files!? > > Also, I ran windows update after installing IIS and it found no > updates!

huh ? it should have a 'security' tab.
anyway, I think you can safely ignore the errors. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.tryiis.com/ http://support.microsoft.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] <gavin@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:1102420144.524674.252750@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > cheers for the info - sounds like its not too big a deal - any opinions > as to whether I should worry? > I checked the directory security and there is no anonymous access but > when I try to check the actual files mentioned I dont get the security > tab - just lots of options for how it should be run in DOS mode!

Did you turn off "Use Simple File Sharing"?
(In Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> uncheck "use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)") and then you should see a security tab.
