How to get iusr and iwam name?

Hello,

for a setup script that grants NTFS-Permissions to a folder I need the
name of the iusr and iwam accounts. Many machines get renamed after
IIS is installed so a simple string addition of iusr + machine name
often fails.

Is there a way to identifiy the iusr and iwam accounts?

Thanks Alfred

Try -
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>adsutil.vbs get w3svc/anonymoususername
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>adsutil.vbs get w3svc/wamusername
