You have just ran into a Major problem, That myself had in my network
On my server, that usually gets about 500+ hits per day.
I tried everything that everyone told me to do, And it did not work.
If you are running the "WinNT 4.0 Server" And the new "iis lockdown"
Then, I think that there seems to be an issue with it and running it on NT4.
Not sure, this is just my own personal opinion.

Though I got a log of good suggestion from people in the newsgroup(s),
known of them worked.
I indeeded up having to reinstall my server from scratch "AGAIN".

Because there is one thing that you have to look at.
When you installed the "iis lockdown" tool, and you got the runtime error,
>From that point on, you basically have lost all rights to your server.
Which is a pain in the A**, but there is basically nothing that I am aware
off
And that all the suggestions that I got in, no one was able to tell me,
Yes this worked for me, It was all just,"Try this, Read more into the iis
lockdown next time,
and so forth,"

So, unless you can find someone that has "Successfully" fixed this issue,
There is not much that
you can do, But I would wait, and if you are running a productive server,
(Like I am here)
Then you are most likely wanting to get it back LIVE a.s.a.p.
Think about doing to reinstall,
It takes me about 4 hours, from shut down, to being back Fully online again,
To do mine.
Then pointing records, and setting up DNS, is an additional 1 hour.
So basically about 5hours, and it is ready.

Sorry that this is not what you are wanting to hear.

Take Care
Wayne
