Internet Information Services 5.0 metabase ACEs

When you register an Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 server with Resource Manager, Microsoft Provisioning System configures ACEs on the W3SVC and MSFTPSVC IIS metabase objects. When you provision a Web or an FTP site for an organization, Microsoft Provisioning System configures ACEs on the IIS metabase objects for the Web or FTP site. This topic describes the ACEs that Microsoft Provisioning System sets on IIS metabase objects. For more information about the tasks that Microsoft Provisioning System performs while registering resources and provisioning Web services, see Internet Information Services 5.0 hosting configuration.
