Author changed IUSR pwd, now anonymous access login fails. tried...

For company intranet, I changed the IUSR pwd with UM4D and moved
Daemons from SYSTEM to a special user. Gave this special user
advanced rights to logon locally and logon as service. I also made
WWWroot a share and Everyone has read access. Event viewer says
Unknown user or bad passwd. I've stopped/started IIS, IIS admin, FTP.
Restarted server. no joy. What should I try?
If I call for CHAP that works OK but many users prefer anonymouns...

TIA
Bob

You should also set the IUSR_ user password in the metabase!

run the following command

\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs GET W3SVC/AnonymousUserPass

Hello,

What Egbert meant is run the command
"cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/anonymoususerpass <new password> "
Then restart IIS.
Check the event logs if you are still having problems.

Thanks,
