IIS permissions (IUSR user problems)

When I run a check server extensions on any of my websites (Windows 2003
server IIS 6.0) the permissions are reset without the IUSR or OWS users. If
I go into the properties of the site and disable anonymous access and
re-enable it, the IUSR still has no access.

I've gone in and temporarily set the correct permissions (copied from the
default site) but would like to correct this so that in the future if I run
a 'Check Server Etensions' and have it re-apply security settings or tighten
security I won't lose the IUSR and OWS users.

A little background: the sites were originally created on the D: drive of my
server. I was having issues with my raid card, so I moved them to the C:
drive under the default inetpub directory. I beleive permissions were
working fine up to this point. I then moved them back to the D: drive and
now the permissions get screwed up when doing what I said above. Even if I
create a new web on the c:\inetpub\newsite and check the server extensions,
re-applying security settings and tightening security it doesn't add the
IUSR or OWS users....

Any ideas?

Hi

How are you doing this "check server extensions"? From the Sharepoint Admin
site? (or from the IIS MMC snapin?) What if you try using the Sharepoint
Admin site?

Cheers
