IWAM and IUSR accounts do not match hostname

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I created a Win2K image using Symantec Ghost 7.5 and ran ghostwalker as well as Microsoft Win2k sysprep but my default IIS accounts still reflect the host name of the image and not the new hostname. I have tried manually changing them but then I run into permission issues. Can anyone tell me how I can these accounts to be regenerated to reflect the actual hostname of the server.

You can remove and reinstall IIS if you wish to have the accounts
automatically created. Or you can create them yourself and look through
this article to set your permissions.

Thanks for the reply. However, I am trying to avoid having to reinstall IIS. I would rather know how the system creates the accounts and where it gets the names. I have deleted the accounts and when they get recreated they come back as the image name and not the host name. I believe it is somewhere in the IIS metabase but am unsure.
