I'm running Windows 2000 Server as a web server, and I recently installed the Frontpage Server Extensions (version 2002) for a client. However, I am unable to administrate sites through the server extensions admin page. First, I clicked "extend" to add the extensions to the site that requires it. This worked fine, and I choose the administrator account as the administrator for the web. Now, on the server extensions admin page, when I click the site's name to administrate the site, I get the following error: "You are not authorized to view this page". I am logged into the server as the administrator. Also, if I attempt to open the web on a client in Frontpage, it will not accept the administrator username and password. I've checked the NTFS persmissions on the web's home directory and everything looks normal. Just to be sure, I also ran the Permissions Wizard in IIS.
The only thing I can think of that may be contributing to the problem is that I've "hardened" this server for security using techniques described in the book "Securing Windows NT/2000 Server", published by O'Reilly. For example, I: Renamed the administrator account, disabled all subsystems except Win32, Set IP filtering on the Internet connection (limited to ports 20, 21, 25, 80, 443, 53), disabled 8.3 filename creation, and a few other things. All of these changes were made prior to creating the web site and installing the server extensions.
If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
