I have a Win2K server running IIS 5 as our web server. Yesterday afternoon one of my subwebs stopped working (Access denied). There is no security tab (or Web sharing tab either) on that folder. All other folders appear to be fine.
I’ve tried logging in as the Domain Administrator and with a local Administrator account to no avail. I’ve tried resetting ownership from the parent folder and received “Access Denied” errors. I’ve tried resetting permissions using XCACLS/CACLS and received the error “No mapping between account names and security IDs was done”
I’m stumped. I’d gladly delete the folder and republish from my staging site if I could get rid of it but I can’t open it, delete it, rename it, etc.
I haven’t tried restoring it from a backup but I’m pretty sure I’d get an access denied error as well since the directory permissions are corrupt.
How do I repair them?
