Removing IUSR_Server User

External Since: Jan 14, 2004 Posts: 2

I created another user for anonymous logon, and applied it to the IIS site.
In the process of testing, I did change the password for IUSR. Now, I

any way to get rid of this user from being associated with the computer/IIS?
I have not tried to delete it yet.
