The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 1.1
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition
This article was previously published under Q310654 SYMPTOMSIf you
install the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Lock Down Tool with all
the default options, it may break a working Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows
CE (SQL Server CE) or SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Remote Data Access (RDA) or Replication application that
uses Anonymous authentication. CAUSE The default Setup of the IIS Lock Down Tool sets the
following option:
"Set file permissions to prevent anonymous IIS users from writing to content directories." SQL Server CE or SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Replication and RDA rely on three
modes of IIS authentication:
- Anonymous authentication
- HTTP Basic authentication
- Integrated Windows authentication
RESOLUTION To resolve this problem:
- If you use SQL Server CE connectivity applications or SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition applications that use
Anonymous authentication, clear this default option:
"Set file permissions to prevent anonymous IIS users from writing to content directories." Otherwise the application may not run.
-or-
- You can reconfigure SQL Server CE connectivity applications
or SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition applications to use Basic or Integrated Windows authentication, not Anonymous, to run the
tool.
