     Hi, Hopefully someone can help me out here, I have managed to mess up the User Permissions within IIS for the DEFAULT WEB SITE and the WHS Site. The end result of this is that I can no longer access my WHS Pages from the internet. When I try to access the webpages I recieve a HTTP Error 403.2 - Forbidden: Read access is denied. Prior to me messing around with these settings everything was working correctly so im pretty certain this is where the problem lies.

    Can someone please tell me what USERS/GROUPS (ie IIS_WPG etc.etc) should appear in the Security Permissions for each of the websites in IIS and what rights each should have

    (ie: In IIS open WEB SITES folder, right click on DEFAULT WEB SITE - Select PERMISSIONS from menu that appears, in window that opens check which users/groups are shown and what permissions are set for each of them (eg. Read, Write etc etc)).

    Hopefully if I can reset the USERs/GROUPS and their associated access rights to what they were originally I should be able to access my WHS Pages from the internet again.

    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers
    Raymond

    I would try to reconfigure remote access from the WHS console, turn websites off, then on again. After that from the WHS console reconfigure remote access right for the appropriate users (uncheck allow, apply, then check again and apply).

    FYI, permissions for default website:

    Administrators, Rights: F,R,M,RE,L,R,W
    IIS_WPG, Rgihts:  RE,L,R
    Internet Guest Account, Rights:
    System, Rights:  F,R,M,RE,L,R,W
    Users, Right: RE,L,R

    Hi,

      Thanks for the quick reply, ive changed the permissions as per your list, the Internet Guest Account was missing from the User/Group list altogether which appears to have been the problem. Everything is working now, valuable lesson learned...if it aint broke dont touch it (or at least copy down the original settings).

    Thanks again
