Anonymous Account Not Created When Windows NT 4.0 and IIS Installed as BDC

This article was previously published under Q173962
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/IIS.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/IIS.mspx)

SYMPTOMS

When you setup Active Server Pages (ASP) on a backup domain controller (BDC), you will get an error message that the IUSR account is improperly setup.

CAUSE

During the setup of Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 and Internet Information Server (IIS), the IUSR account cannot be created because the Windows NT installation does not have network connectivity to create the IUSR account in the domain account database.

WORKAROUND

Uninstall and re-setup IIS on the BDC. Then set up ASP.

MORE INFORMATION

This is referenced in the Readme.txt that comes with ASP.
