Is there any reason why sites with Anonymous Access would fail every day the
 next morning in IIS 5.0 Windows 2000 Server?  The password for IUSR_MACHINE
 is being managed by IIS.  It seems to work fine after I reselect the user a
gain and the check the "Let
IIS Manage password" checkbox, Restart IIS.  Then, the next day, same thing 
all over again.  I have run the IIS Lockdown utility and set .ini file to al
low .asp, .aspx, etc.

If our site hosts a web service that calls into a SQL Server database on ano
ther machine using a SQL Server 2000 User Account, how do I set up to ensure
 that this can be done through Anonymous User?  In other words, I am just ho
sting the Web Services on m
y Web Server and a Partner's .aspx page calls into our Web Server to serve u
p our Customer data.  The Data is on another server in our Organization, not
 the Web Server.  The Partner's .aspx page doesn't feed us any type of crede
ntials whatsoever.  I am 99
% sure they have hardcoded a DSN into the .asmx code which is served up on o
ur IIS 5.0 Server.  The DSN uses SQL Server User not Windows Integrated Secu
rity.  If you could refer me to a tool or an Article that will help fix this
 problem it would be much a
ppreciated.

Look at your event log for possible answers.

Below is the record from the IIS ODBC Log 8/2/2004.  As you can kind of see,
 if you are familiar with these types of logs, the Status code was 200.  The
re is nothing in the System Log to indicate any kind of error or any of the 
logs for that matter.  That
is why this is confusing to me.  The logs were the first place I looked.  Th
is is the exact time it failed.  I replaced the IP Addresses with text and s
urrounded in parens.


(Firewall IP Address)       8/2/2004 10:07	W3SVC1	SRVBIZTALK01	(Web Server I
P Address )         	4688	654	708	Status Code--> 200	0	POST           /XXXXX
XX/XXXXX.asmx

I am running this through our ISA Server and it has worked fine except for w
hen it occasionally breaks.  This morning, it didn't break, so I am really c
onfused about this one.
