Red error icon is OK. There is a way to permanently set up the authentication for the default web site, so that it will not revert to the original settings. I can't remember off the top of my head, it is done by running an IISadmin VB script from command line. It is described in the Exchange 2000 Hosting white papers.

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?
