The Danish TechEd coordinator was so lucky to get Bernhard Frank to tell all the Danish people at TechEd Berlin 2009 about all the news in IIS 7.5, and in the end there will be time for Q&A, its free for Danes.

Afterwards there will a 3 dinners menu, so the attendees don't have to wait in line for the official dinner.

I’m really looking forward for this, as I’m working on a daily basis with the IIS server.

INFO: I will update this post, when I have attended the session.

So the other day I was playing around with the built-in Ftp server in Windows Server 2008 R2, but as this is only a webhost machine, and therefore not member of a AD. I used local accounts for the ftp service. But instead of having the users as local users, its possible to create them as “IIS Manager Users” … what a great way, more secure as I now dont have to disable the users so they can’t login via RDP if they should ever find the IP - tsk tsk, and they would, cause its the same as the ip to the webhost :-)

Well … it was not all that easy … the darn “IIS Mangeger Users” could not login … tried everything … all with the “550 User cannot login”. Then i found this article www.iis.net.  Under Prerequisites:

CACLS "%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config" /G "Network Service":R /E
CACLS "%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\administration.config" /G "Network Service":R /E
CACLS "%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\redirection.config" /G "Network Service":R /E

After running the above 3 commands it all worked.

Remember when configuring User Isolation:

Thats all for now …
