ASP pages & possible permissions corruption

We're running windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0. We're
trying to execute .asp scripts but we keep getting the 500
(internal server) error.

It looks like the permissions might be corrupted. When I
go to the folder in question, go to properties >> security
and look at the user groups, for several seconds they say
this:

S-1-1-0
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-32-544

Then the above numbers turn into the group names
(everyone, administrator, etc.).

The end result is that no .asp code can be executed, but
other scripts (such as ColdFusion scripts, sorry) are
working fine. Our website as a whole is functioning
properly. Months ago I applied the IIS Lockdown Tool and
ever since I've had to jockey the permissions around.
Earlier in the week I had IIS prompt me for
username/password to access public pages. When I went to
the permissions menu, it hesitated and then opened. When
I retried the pages after adjusting the permissions, I was
able to access them again.

Any suggestions, reference?

Thanks.

The SIDs are what is actually used to match the security - it always takles
a few sconds for the display to resolve them to actual group names from AD /
Domain Controller etc.

Internal Server error usually denotes something in Global.asa that is not
working - try moving the code to an asp page and call it to see the real
error if you have anything in Global.asa?

Those values you're seeing are orphaned SIDs - SIDs of users who no longer
exist on your network. You can delete them, since they aren't doing any
good anyway. Just be sure that they are actually just SIDs, and it's not
just that you have a slow server or network that's taking a while to resolve
the SIDs to their friendly names.

For your internal server error issues, find out what the real error is.

Thanks for the advice, Ray. The URL you gave had a lot of
good info. I set up IE to give me the 'real' error--
turned out to be a 'Server Application Error'. I followed
the tip on the FAQ for this--removing and creating the
service on the 'home dir' tab of the IIS website
properties. But that didn't work. Any other ideas?

I'm currently updating the service pack to 4 and I'm gonna
uninstall the IIS Lockdown...

Hi all Can anyone tell me the best way to set permissions to allow an ASP program to write new Html pages to my site's root folder, without chancing users also being able to write to the root. One ISP told me this couldn't be done - is IIS really that limited? I want to be able to suggest to my ISP (based on any advice you can give) how they should set the permissions to allow a sensible folder structure -

I have deployed few Access apps splitting it in Front End and Back End. Our environment uses Win XP SP2 for clients, Win 2k3 for servers and Access 2003. The max. number of clients is about 50 (concurrent users is estimated around 10). Whilst the Back End always lives on a server, I am not quite clear where the Front End should live. I have searched the web and find contradicting views.
