    We are running applications via distributed assemblies on our intranet
    site. This requires a stub executable to load the assembly. After
    running the IIS Lockdown tool 2.1 on IIS 5.0, Win2k server (SP4 with
    all the latest updates and patches from MS) the executables will no
    longer run. We get a 404 error.

    I have attempted to review the options in IIS lockdown but cannot find
    any setting that will deny access to system utilities like tftp.exe and
    cmd.exe yet allow our stub executable to run.

    Also I have an issue with wsh scripts that we execute on request that
    is related to the IIS Lockdown tool not allowing access to this system
    utility.

    What do I need to do before or after running the IIS Lockdown tool that
    will allow our wsh scripts and selected executables to still run?
