Incorrect -- IIS6 allows running custom CGI programs with the default
anonymous account.
The problem is that your CGI program MUST be ACL'd to allow access to
the right user account, as well as be able to function correctly as
that user account. This is always the case no matter what. You did not
ensure that, so IIS6 correctly fails to run it.
This URL and all its links explain how and why.
