It is perfectly fine to rename the computer that IIS6 is running on. IIS6 will function correctly. However, what you really need to ask is whether the code you are running on IIS6 is ok with the change. For example, a lot of scripts/code assume that the Anonymous User or WAM User of IIS looks like "IUSR_<ComputerName>" or "IWAM_<ComputerName>". Clearly, IIS already created those accounts using the PRIOR computer name and continue to use them (it's just an arbitrary name, after all). However, after a computer rename, scripts that make such assumptions will all fail, and it is by-design. To the average user, it looks like an IIS problem since the scripts are now breaking. However, it is really a bug in the scripts used by the user that make such incorrect assumptions. Now, it is possible for you to rename those user accounts so that they match the new computer name, but then you need to change IIS configuration to also use these new user names (IIS saves the user name and not SID). -- //David IIS This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // "Troy Bruder" <troy.bruder DeleteThis @aptconsulting.com> wrote in message news:%23fdEr572EHA.3128@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl...
