    Thanks for the info.

    That is weird. I know we run a lot of tests against CGI to cover the cases
    when upgrading from XP RTM as well as XP SP1 to XPSP2 (across various CPU,
    language, etc), and there weren't any problems with privileges on any of
    those runs.

    Is your machine stand alone or in a domain? Perhaps a Group Policy script
    or something custom was run on your server to change this setting (but never
    restarted the server) -- and due to XPSP2 requiring a server restart, you
    now see the issue?

Thanks for the reply,
SP2 does indeed impact the security. It is either taking away the privelege
for IUSR and IWAM to "Create Token Objects" and/or adding a new privilege
called "Create Token Objects" (which I doubt, and could easily determine,
but
don't have the time to), of which it is not adding IUSR and IWAM to. I
confirmed this by simply adding IUSR and IWAM to have that privilege and
then
IIS and CGI worked.
