Re: Problem with SP4 setup (got around it)

*****After further testing, I got the service pack to
install successfully. The problem was, I had the following
users in "Computer Management - Local Users and Groups -
Users" disabled:
IUSR_servername
IWAM_servername
TSINTERNETUSER
However, on our production web servers, we have these
accounts either disabled or renamed. Or we rely on Active
Directory accounts. How will applying SP4 effect this?
What will it do with our permissions? Why does SP4 rely on
these accounts?
