Uninstalled SUS (URL scan); certain virtual directories do not work

I installed Software Update Services (SUS SP1) on our Intranet server
(IIS5.0). This process installs IIS Lockdown tool and URLscan. I did
not like it on that server. I uninstalled SUS which had installed the
IIS lockdown tool and URLScan. I manually uninstalled URLScan.
However, there must be something else that I must undo because my
INTRANET site does not work. One symptom is that my include
statements do not work with relative referencing notation like the
double dots and slashes to traverse the folder structure. Also, I
have a web folder for an application that requests authentication per
my Frontpage permissions for that web folder. If you authenticate
correctly, you are redirected to an asp page. However, the server
responds with the HTTP 500 error or the HTTP 404 error.

Has anyone experienced this before? Or know what is going on?

Hi,

a) Check the SUS Deployment Whitepaper. I believe it details the changes
that URLScan installation makes, including those things that you need to
manually change back yourself

b) The include files problem can be solved by checking the "Enable Parent
Paths" property in your IIS MMC Snapin for the folder/website in question
(Home Directory Tab -> Configuration Button -> Options tav). This is a
guess - it would help if you posted the exact error message you are getting.

c) The 500 errors are many, and varied. I suggest, in your copy of IE, that
you turn off "Show Friendly HTTP Errors", and reload the page to see the
exact error message. Post that to the list. 500 just means that some kind of
error occured on the server.

Cheers
Ken
