OK. Start with the basics. Check the home directory for the site in question, check NTFS permissions. If this is an anonymous site, then ensure the IUSR
account has appropriate permissions to the content. May also need to check app pool identity, etc.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.

| Hi all,
|
| We are running Windows 2003 Web Edition. Just moved from
| Windows 2000 Server. We migrated our sites over to a new
| Win2003 system and certain sites now a requesting the
| visitor authenticate themselves when browsing certain
| directories. I do not know what I am missing here but my
| configuration is identical to what we had on Win2K. This
| should not be happening. Anyone face this before? What am
| I missing?
