Are you SURE the output files are identical? You do realize that two files
with the same size are NOT identical? I do not repro your claims, unless
you managed to specify a password whose encryption results is the same as
the existing mechanism.

We are attempting to work with IISCNFG.VBS.  While the documentation states
that
the export file is encrypted using the /d switch with this utility we have
found that the
output file is never encrypted.  the following commands produce IDENTICAL
output files:
[watch 4 wrap]
iiscnfg.vbs /export /d XXXXXXXX /sp /lm/w3svc/1 /f c:\temp\PASSWORD.xml
/inherited /children
iiscnfg.vbs /export /sp /lm/w3svc/1 /f c:\temp\NOPASSWORD.xml /inherited
/children
 Directory of C:\temp
 11/02/2004  09:32 AM            35,792 NOPASSWORD.xml
 11/02/2004  09:31 AM            35,792 PASSWORD.xml
so whats up with that?
thanks.
