Re: IIS6 'forgets' "Connect As" password for Virtual Directory

http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/04/27/IIS_Configuration_Mysteriously_Disappear.aspx

Usually when IIS configuration disappears, it is because:
1. Configuration change was cached in memory, not yet persisted to disk, and
then someone triggers restart of IIS. Poof goes your changes.
2. Something else running on the server is "synchronizing" values
incorrectly.

IIS worker processes have no permission to change metabase values, WAS does
not open the metabase, so all IIS6 metabase changes come from some sort of
user-action.

I have a website that contains a virtual directory mapped to a UNC using a
domain account under "Connect As." Users are normally able to browse the
virtual directory without incident. The site exist on an NLB cluster.
Occasionally, one or two of the servers will forget the "Connect As"
Password. The server will respond with a Server 500 error indicating that
authentication failed. When I look at the "Connect As" box the password
field
will be blank, i.e. no ****** as is the normal condition.

Has anyone else seen this? Is anyone able to use a virtual directory in an
NLB cluster without this problem? Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks,
Richard M.
