Help on scripting IIS 5.1 install.

Hi.
I'm trying to script an install of iis 5.1/win xp.
- This works:
manually installing iis
rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage
aspnet_regiis.exe /i for both .net 1.1 and 2.0
browse to localhost and it rocks.

instead of manually installing I tried
sysocmgr.exe /i:%SYSTEMROOT%\inf\sysoc.inf
/u:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\iis51\IISInstall.TXT /l /w /c /x

IIsInstall.txt contains:
[Components]
fp_extensions = On
aspnet = on
iis_common = on
iis_doc = on
iis_inetmgr = on
iis_www = on
iis_ftp = off
iis_htmla = on

[InternetServer]
---------------------
I browse to localhost and it comes up with a login. I'm able to login and
then it works, but I want anonymous authentication to work like my manual
install method. I've messed with rights and process to Low and made everyone
in the world Admins and gave Everyone full rights to the folder... Any ideas
? Something simple ?

Thanks, Jon

Re: Help on scripting IIS 5.1 install.

There is no need to change the Isolation level to low.
There is no need to make everyone administrators.

What you do need to do is:
a) determine what your anonymous user account is (typically it is
IUSR_)

b) ensure that this account has NTFS read permissions to the appropriate
folders (typically the wwwroot folder for your web content)

c) ensure that the IUSR password is synchronised between IIS and Windows.
You can manually reset the password in IIS, and also in Windows Users and
Groups control panel if required

d) ensure that Anonymous Access is enabled in IIS

e) If you are using .NET pages, then things are a little more complicated,
because that runs in aspnet_wp.exe on Windows XP. You will need to ensure
that the Machine\ASPNET account has necessayr permissions as well

Cheers
Ken

Re: Help on scripting IIS 5.1 install.

Ken, thanks a lot. In further testing, i find that if i put an admin.html in
to wwwroot, it rocks as well. So, my only issue is with .asp pages asking
for a login. i actually made ASPNET an admin to test it. That didn't make
it go. I look at the aspnet_wp.exe, there are 1 in each .net framework
folder. They look good.
Any more ideas?

ASPNET user account is used for ASP.NET pages, not ASP pages.

ASP pages are run under either the Anonymous User account
(IUSR_) if you are not asking the user for credentials, or
whatever user account you authenticate with (if you are entering
credentials).

ASP <> ASP.NET

aspnet_wp.exe is only used for ASP.NET pages. Which aspnet_wp.exe process is
used depends on which version of the ASP.NET framework you are using. But is
has nothing to do with classic ASP pages (*.asp)
