We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
If you are a non-administrative user, you cannot administrate Internet Information Server (IIS) on a remote computer.



WORKAROUND
Please see the following article for instructions on how you can see the counters for the FTP service:

NOTE: The other counters for the HTTP and GOPHER service will still be absent.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

In regedt32 go to the following key:
