I am running a website in IIS5.0. The site has some ASP content for database
lookup and such. On a random basis, sometimes in 30 minutes, sometimes every
48 hours, the execute permissions get reset to "none" from "scripts and
executables". I reset it to "scripts and execs" and eventually, it gets
changes back to "none". We've tried to isolate what activities are taking
place when this occurs, but it happens so randomly, it's hard to get a fix on
it. Once it get's reset to "none", the ASP scripts stop working, of course.

Does anyone have any ideas on what can be causing this? Can an ASP script
change this property of a web inadvertently? Or is the Management Console
Directory Tab the only way to change this attribute? Any ideas are
appreciated. I have read other threads on this type of issue and have
stopped/restarted IIS after setting the permissions, so they persist. Thx.
