After you make the necessary change, open a command window and run "NET STOP
IISADMIN /y" (or you can use Services Applet and Stop the IISADMIN service).
This should flush all in-memory changes (that you did in the UI) to disk, so
it should survive a reboot. Then, restart W3SVC service.

I would also recommend making a backup copy of the IIS configuration file,
located at: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\inetsrv\metabase.bin regularly. This
will help you recover from metabase corruption.

Hello, I am running an Exchange 2000 server on Windows
2000, and have set up the Outlook web access under IIS.
To make it more convenient to login, I changed the
Directory Security settings for the Exchange web
directories to have a default domain, so users don't have
to enter it when they login.
However, everytime I reboot the server, the security
settings for those Exchange directories get reset, and I
have to manually reload the security settings.
Is there a way to get IIS to permanently save my security
settings, so I don't have to reload them after every
reboot? Currently, I just restore an IIS configuration
that I saved with my desired security settings, but that
is somewhat inconvenient because it temporarily disables
Exchange while it restarts a bunch of services.
