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:

SUMMARY
The Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) will restore the publication service default settings when executing the Setup Reinstall option.



MORE INFORMATION
When upgrading your installation of IIS from version 1.0 to version 2.0, your customized system settings (such as a modification to the WWW password authentication), will be maintained.

When executing the IIS 2.0 Reinstall feature to reinstall your current selection of publication tools, your customized settings (such as a modification to the WWW password authentication), will be removed.

The Reinstall feature is designed to restore a publication server to the default settings to assist in troubleshooting.

For more information on IIS 2.0 Setup, please see Chapter 1, Installing Internet Information Server, in the online HTML documentation.
