Symptoms
Cause
Probably there is an invalid value in the Content Studio system setting
Anonymous_Account. This value should be the name of the local account used by
IIS when it impersonates an anonymous user. When Content Studio sets the
browse permission for the ANONYMOUS LOGON group it inserts the
READ/EXECUTE permission in the underlying file system, not to the ANONYMOUS
LOGON group, but to the IIS anonymous account. Content Studio normally does not
have the right to query the IIS metabase for this account so it first tries to
get the account name from the setting. If this setting is empty or points to an
invalid account Content Studio asks the IIS metabase and recieves Access denied
from IIS.
Resolution
NOTE: From Content Studio version 4.0 build 1009 this information can be set to be read from the registry. If the registry key is set this value will override the setting mentioned above. For more information on this see the link below under the More information section.
