System Update Service IIS cannto access any pages.

I'm trying to setup a local SUS server.

It installed itself and put its web files in the inerpub/wwwroot as it's supposed to. I installed the SUS to E:\SUS.

I can access the administration by going to http://localhost on the server machine, but I cann't connect from any other machine on the network.

There is no firewall between the server and clients.

I can access the IIS placeholder "under construction" file, but if I try to go anywhere else I am prompted for a username and password.

I have setup permissions for the folders, both the inetpub and the SUS folder and subdirectories with the content in them. I have allowed access to IUSR_SERVER01 and IWAM_SERVER01.

IIS manager has set directory security to anonymous login, IIS manage password and use Integrated Windows Authentication.

IUSR and IWAM can login locally in users settings.

Still I cannot access the pages over LAN. If for example I try to go to http://192.168.2.96/autoupdate/en/default.asp I am prompted with a box 'Enter Username and Password for "" at 192.168.2.96'.

Event in error log events (trying different users in IIS):

The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'SERVER01\IUSR_SERVER01' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The data is the error code.


The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'SERVER01\IWAM_SERVER01' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The data is the error code.


Any help here would be appreciated.

Sounds like the password for the IUSR account is not synchronized with the setting in the IIS service.

There is a kb article in the MS site on how to get the IIS user account passwords synchronized.
