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
When you use the IIS snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to makes changes to the Content Ratings expiration date on a remote server, the values saved to the metabase use the time zone of the client and not the server.



CAUSE
This is by design. The IIS snap-in for the MMC is designed to use the time zone of the client computer that the Web administrator is using and not the server when making changes. This allows a Web administrator located in one part of a WAN to set ratings to expire based on the Web administrator's location instead of the server's location.
