-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Active Server Pages 
- Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 2.0, 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you setup Active Server Pages (ASP) on a backup domain controller (BDC),
you will get an error message that the IUSR account is improperly setup.

CAUSE
=====

During the setup of Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 and Internet
Information Server (IIS), the IUSR account cannot be created because the Windows
NT installation does not have network connectivity to create the IUSR account in
the domain account database.

WORKAROUND
==========

Uninstall and re-setup IIS on the BDC. Then set up ASP.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This is referenced in the Readme.txt that comes with ASP.
