As I had initially asked -- did you verify that the Anonymous user
credentials were the same in the local SAM.

The standard IUSR_MachineName is no different from your custom anonymous
user in this regard, so the easiest thing is to verify that the
credentials/password stored in the metabase matches the credentials in the
local SAM.

Were you using Sub Authentication from an upgrade?

So this should not work, but...
I created a NEW custom acount for IIS Anonymous
    and the Web Sites WORK now.
Something in MS Security Update corrupted something.
Thanks for replying!
