Mike,
Use caution. IIS Lockdown will close the door on a lot of potential security issues but can cause your web to quit working - very secure, but so is turning off the server. It took me hours to recover from a lockdown.

There was a discussion a while back on Listserv Lite support list around this. Try searching the archives.

Here is one of the messages :

Subject: URLScan, IISLockdown Tools


Does anyone have experience with configuring/running the iislockdown tool
and urlscan on a W2K server with IIS 5.0 and Listserve Lite 1.8e OR can
point me in a direction (other than MS site on this)

Thanks in advance ...

Mike
