Execute Permission settings in IIS change themselves?!?

Post #19,737 by bbronson 11/29/01 6:00:52 PM Reply	Execute Permission settings in IIS change themselves?!? Is anybody aware of a problem in MS IISv5 wherein the execute permissions settings (found on the home directory tab of the default web site properties dialog box) change themselves? We found no evidence of any unauthorized access, and nobody with access has fessed up (I know, I know, but I believe these people, and it IS a M$ product!) Thanks in advance. Brian Bronson

We've had problems in the past where users that synchronized their local copies of Front Page (can also occur with Visual Interdev), and they had the privileges set differently local. The local settings end up overwriting whatever you had set up on the server. Don't know if it's your problem, but someone using Front Page or Interdev either needs to have their rights restricted or take care that they don't go out and rearrange the server every time they sync up. Me, I don't like any web site authoring tools - preferring the simplicity of text editors and source control.

The box is actually our demo box; it crapped out in the middle of a demo. And still I'm the insane one for suggesting our company explore alternatives to M$. Sheesh. Thanks Brian Bronson
