If you want to do this, you will need to enable SubAuthentication. The steps
are detailed in the PDF above under the SubAuthentication heading. However,
this is not a recommended configuration, and instead you should choose a
complex password, and manually set this in the IIS Metabase, and in the
machine's SAM database.

Cheers

You set the password in the IIS Metabase via the IIS Manager (Directory
Security tab -> Edit Anonymous Access)

You set the password in the SAM via Computer Management MMC -> Users and
Groups extension (Computer Management MMC Snapin is located in your Admin
Tools folder, or you can right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage")

There are other ways of doing these tasks, but the above are probably the
easiest ways

Ok, that's what I did, I wasn't clear with the acronyms. Unfortunately after
doing this, I still have the same issue. I will double check everything
again today, ACL's and config files to see if there is something I have
missed.

Thanks

In Win2003/IIS6 set a pwd for the IUSR_<machinename> local account like you
would do with a normal account.
After that, go to the UI of IIS and set the account and PWD the same way.

its that simple.
