Configure Anonymous User Identity When the Web sites and applications running on the Web server require anonymous access, IIS must be configured with a user account specifically for anonymous access. This user account can be stored in the local account database on the Web server or in a domain. If, prior to upgrade, the anonymous user identity is configured to use an account stored in a domain you must configure the anonymous user identity to use the same domain-based account after the upgrade. This is necessary because the upgrade process automatically configures IIS to use the default anonymous user account IUSR_computername, where computername is the name of the computer on which IIS is running. You can configure the anonymous user identity to use the domain-based user account through IIS Manager. If the anonymous user identity does not use an account stored in a domain, it can be configured to use an account stored in the local account database on the Web server. Procedures
