Hi all, don't know if this is the correct group for this question, but here
goes.

About 6 months ago my company set up a windows 2003 server running IIS6 with
an asp page that calls a wscript.shell run command. The run command executes
a command line executable. Everything used to work fine when we tested the
server.

The asp page is in a folder that has anon access turned off, and only
administrator access allowed so that the pages *should* run under the
context of the logged on admin user.

The page is now failing with a permission denied error. It appears as though
IIS6 cannot make an execute to cmd.exe. I have searched the net and tried
just about everything i could find with no success.

Does anyone have any clues as to what might be going wrong? I have checked
and tried setting permissions on the folder as well as cmd.exe but nothing
seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

paul korosi

Hi,

Please make sure that Web Site’s Executable permission is set to Script and
executables.

Site > Properties > Home directory tab > Executable permissions Drop down.
