IIS 6.0 & Permissions

After reinstalling IIS 6.0 anonymous user have to enter a username &
password to access our site. I had this problem with IIS 5.x and ran the
permissions wizard and it corrected the problem. I can't seem to find the
wizard for IIS 6.0. How do I restore the default permissions?

Hello,
If users are being prompted for credentials when they try to browse a site
with Anonymous authentication enabled, then the anonymous access is failing
and it is probably falling back on Integrated authentication. You can go
through http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812614 to
compare the permissions on your server to the default permissions.
Also, what happens if you uncheck all other authentication methods except
for Anonymous? What is the error message displayed in the browser (be sure
to turn off friendly http error messages in IE-> Tools-> Internet Options->
uncheck Show friendly http error messages, reopen the browser)?
If the error indicates a problem with NTFS permissions, download and run
the Filemon tool from http://www.sysinternals.com while reproducing the
problem and search the log for Access Denied. This will tell you which
file(s) the IUSR account does not have permissions on.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
