iis security : How to audit IUSR rights?

I am trying to find a way to audit the file permissions
the iusr and iwam accounts have on an IIS server. Can
anyone recommend a tool that I can use to show me what
files these two users have "write" permissions to. I have
tried using
subinacl /subdirectories x:\*.* /accesscheck=iusr
_computername
however I am promted for the password to the iusr
account. Upon further research I found that this
particular switch (/accesscheck) needs the permission act
as part of the os. I successfully ran this particular
command against another user id for which I had the
password, but I do not have the password for the iusr
account. Can anyone help me on this or is there a simpler
way to audit the write permissions that this account has?

Thanks,

Matthew

Matthew,

A useful alternative to subinacl (or perhaps a different way of
looking at the issue if you prefer) is this rather useful little free
utility from Sysinternals (the makers of Filemon).

a) go to computer management, reset the iusr password to something.

b) set iis metabase anonymous user password to the password you just set

c) run your subinacl command

this kb - show you how to read and reset the account password

Check KB
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271071 This talks about the default
permissions and policies for the IIS accounts.
