IIS security question - anonymous access user?

| I recnetly moved a website to new system, this time using a virtual folder
called newweb located under c:\nick for better backup purposes. I want to be
able to back up one (or few) folders and know that I have everything.
Initial attempt to access localhost\newweb failed with 401 not authorized
error. We are using allow anonymous in IIS, and the user for that is
IUSR_SYS61. Went into Computer Management / Users and made IUSR_SYS61
(Internet Guest Account) a member of the administrators group. This did not
work but why? Changing the anonymous user to rob.parker did. This did not
seem to make sense, since administrator had full access to the gscan folder.

| There are many types of 401, and resolution depends on the type.

When you made IUSR_SYS61 a member of administrators group, you *assumed* the
problem was 401.3 access denied, but if that is NOT the case, then the
change won't do you any good.
My guess is that the username/password of IUSR_SYS61 is incorrect between
what you configured in IIS and what was configured on the system -- so you
were getting 401.1 invalid credentials -- which you "fixed" by actually
changing the anonymous user used by IIS to be a known valid
username/password.
