Make sure you make the changes in Exchange System Manager, and not IIS Manager, otherwise they'll be overwritten by a sub-process of the System Attendant called DS2MB.
As for the red icons, that's a benign error: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259373 Neil -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: 13 October 2003 15:11 Posted To: Swynk Exchange (30 days) Conversation: Problems with IIS settings for Exchange and Public in Exchange 2000 Subject: Problems with IIS settings for Exchange and Public in Exchange 2000 Having a strange problem here where IIS won't hold on to the folder security settings we want in place for our users. We've changed them to Basic Authentication for the Exchange site, and Anonymous for the Public site. Any time the server is rebooted it loses these settings and goes back to the defaults that came with Exchange. Additionally, it seems to lose track of the paths for these sites, that is, the path is there in the settings correctly, and the path itself does exist (the M: drive), but IIS thinks that the path does NOT exist (red Error icon exists in IIS Manager) until you go in and browse to the path and then it finds it. Has anyone run into this before?
