It's a good idea both for troubleshooting and security to enable file and
registry access failure auditing on all files and the HKEY_Local_Machine
registry hive. Then you can see what is going wrong in the Windows security
event log. Search this newsgroup for "auditing" for further instructions.
Also, as you may already know, if these are web scripts [such as .ASP] and
the "application isolation" setting on the folder containing the scripts is
set to Medium or High in the IIS MMC, the IWAM_computername account is being
used instead of the anonymous user account.
I assume you've already read www.iisfaq.com and www.microsoft.com/support,
especially searching for the sections on "minimum NTFS permissions" for IIS
to work.
