ok Thanks I see that it does now.

Just one more question, I see the folder and will following instructions on
setting it up in IIS that are documented but what about this stuff

To set the PasswordChangeFlags value in the IIS metabase, do the following:
From a command prompt browse to the C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts directory.
Type adsutil.vbs, and then press the ENTER key. If this is the first time
that Adsutil.vbs has been run, you may get error messages stating that
Cscript is not registered. Follow the prompts and choose Yes to register
Cscript.
Type adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/PasswordChangeFlags [value].

w3svc/1 represents the Default Web Site and [value] can be set to one of the
following options:
0 - SSL connection required
1 - Password changing allowed on non-secure ports.
2 - Password changing disabled.
3 - Password changing disabled. (Undocumented)
4 - Advance notification of password expiration disabled.

I have SSL on my server, and I wanted password changing to be enabled not
disabled, and most of my users for this server have non expiring so I just am
asking do I need to do stuff when it come to "PasswordChangeFlags" or can I
just create a virtual directory and configure it like the first part of this
article and just skip this whole thing about changing flags?

Thanks
