A buddy of mine set up an NT Web Server. In order for anyone to access it from the web he have to give them Domain Admin Access. I dont think that this should be. Thats too much priviledge. What's are we missing?

Have you enabled Anonymous access in the IIS settings for the web page? This is the first thing to check.

When you run IIS on a server, it creates a user account on that server called "IUSR_computername"
Give this user account NTFS permissions to the files available for that internet site. This ensures that the user will see what he is allowed to on the website while restricting access to the rest of the files on that server.

Answer #2 works only if Answer #1 is followed. The Annonymous access user is the IUSR_COMPNAME account.
