Hello,

Mmore than a year ago I ran the IIS Lockdown tool on my Web server. I have
had no problems until a recent installation of a software package called
WebBoard (http://www.akiva.com/products/webboard/index.cfm). WebBoard is a
collaboration package that uses ASP pages to display messages, files, etc
that are stored in a dtatbase.

For some reason the ASP pages do not work on my server. It appears that IIS
is not allowing US_MachineName(local or global) to write to a local or
remote database (SQL 7). Can I un-install the IIS Lockdown tool to test the
installation of the WebBoard software?

Everything else works. I installed IIS on a different machine and installed
the WebBoard software on that machine and it works fine.

Any thoughts?
