JSI Tip 1806. What are the minimum permissions for IIS to work?

If you intend to change permissions on IIS related directories, you must grant the anonymous user, IUSR_<ComputerName>, the following:

Directory	Permissions
Inetpub\Wwwroot	READ (RX)
%SystemRoot%	READ (RX)
%SystemRoot%\System32	READ (RX)
%SystemRoot%\System32\Inetsrv	READ (RX)
%SystemRoot%\System32\Inetsrv\Asp (and all subdirectories)	READ (RX)
<Drive:>\Program Files\Common Files (and all subdirectories)	READ (RX)
