IIS lock down resets permissions to view your web I would simply run IIs lock down tool again to reset your web settings to there original state and the run IIS lock down with the correct settings for the type of web you are running!

If you turn off friendly http errors in IE you will get what the error is.

My bet though is that the lock down tool has changed the permissions, so you need to assign read, write annd execute permissions on the directory contacining the database for the IUSR account.

Nicko,

Hi, I am running into the same problem as you are. Can you tell me how you got the problem fixed with the IIS Lockdown still installed. After uninstalling the LockDown software everything works fine but as soon as it's installed I get the same error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
