I would not use URLScan or the IIS Lockdown tool on any Exchange 2000 server
unless and until Microsoft releases specific instructions for using these
tools on this platform.

My $.02.

Steps Needed in order to allow WebOutlook from windwos 2000 exchange server

Assuming your are using original INI file

herre are options i needed to change. Best way to know wich options are needed in your case is to look in your urlscan log then activating only what YOU need in order to receive no error when you are accessing your ressources. But the more you "unlock" the more vulnerable you are.

--- Option not changed are not shown.... --- [options] AllowDotInPath=1 ; if 1, allow dots that are not file extensions AllowLateScanning=1 ; if 1, then UrlScan will load as a low priority filter.

[AllowVerbs]

OPTIONS ; For prontpage extentions SEARCH ; Used by Weboutlook ; FrontPage Server Extensions requires OPTIONS. If you need to enable ; it, uncomment the OPTIONS verb and set "AllowLateScanning=1" in the ; [Options] section above. Additionally, after changing this file and ; restarting the web service, you should go to the "ISAPI Filters" tab ; for the server's properties in MMC and ensure that UrlScan is listed ; lower than fpexedll.dll.

[DenyExtensions]

; ; Extensions listed here either run code directly on the server, ; are processed as scripts, or are static files that are ; generally not intended to be served out. ; ; Note that these entries are effective if "UseAllowExtensions=0" ; is set in the [Options] section above. ; ; Also note that ASP scripts are allowed to run with the below ; settings. If you wish to prevent ASP from running, add the ; following extensions to this list: ; .asp <--- Make sure ASP is NOT disabled

Other options have not needed to be changed....
