Hi All,
        I have a web app that uses IIS 5 Metabase to store ODBC
connection details as described here
(http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/592).

Our comapany would like to migrate their win2k server to Windows 2003
to increase the security but when i try to add the custom class's
using the metaschema.vbs script in the artical on a windows 2003
server i get errors and the class doesnt get created sucessfully.
This script works fine on win2k. I know the metabase schema has
changed a lot since IIS 5.

Is there any built-in class's in ISS 6 Metabase schema that would have
that has the same functionality(can securely store datasource,
username and password) or does anyone have an update to this great and
useful script.

If not does anyone know of another/better way to securely store/access
DB connection details etc apart from plain text in global.asa.

Thanks for your help and thoughts
