Resetting IIS 6 (Windows 2003 Server) to it's default permissions?

Is there a script or tool that will reset IIS 6.0's permissions back to
their initial state (i.e. exactly after install)?

I have a server that has been toyed with by too many developers, and I
need to get it back to it's initial state before attempt to debug any
more issues with it.

Use the following command:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose

If this is a domain controller, their is a separate DC .inf file you need to
apply as well to get the default DC permissions.

Cheers
