We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

The FTP Service's DefaultLogonDomain is not available in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, manually add DefaultLogonDomain to the FTP Service in the MMC. To do this, you can use either of the following:

The Metaedit.exe utility, included with the IIS 4.0 Resource Kit.
-or-
The Adsutil.vbs utility that is included with IIS 4.0.

NOTE: By default, Adsutil.vbs is located in the <%SystemRoot%>\System32\Inetsrv\Adminsamples folder. Also, you must first install the Windows Script Host before using Adsutil.vbs. For more information on using Adsutil.vbs, see below.

MORE INFORMATION

Specific Instructions for Using Adsutil.vbs

Run Adsutil.vbs from a command prompt, using the appropriate syntax below (depending on whether you want to set DefaultLogonDomain for all FTP sites, just the default FTP site, or other sites):

To set DefaultLogonDomain for all FTP sites, run the following command:
adsutil set msftpsvc/DefaultLogonDomain "DomainName"
To set DefaultLogonDomain for only the default FTP site, run the following command:
adsutil set msftpsvc/1/DefaultLogonDomain "DomainName"
NOTE: If the command listed above, which uses the Adsutil utility, fails, you can use the following command instead, which uses the Mdutil utility from the Windows NT Option Pack compact disc:
mdutil.exe set /msftpsvc/1/DefaultLogonDomain "DomainName"
To set DefaultLogonDomain for any other site, use the same syntax as the default FTP site above, but change the "1" parameter to the appropriate service number.
