If a registry entry must be created or modified to correctly configure the server, you can edit the entry directly using the registry editor Regedit.exe.
u·
Credentials:
Membership in the Administrators group on the local computer.
u·
Tools:
Regedit.exe.
As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Run as command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At the command prompt, type runas /user:administrative_accountname "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".

Caution Do not edit the registry unless you have no alternative. The registry editor bypasses standard safeguards, allowing settings that can damage your system, or even require you to reinstall Windows. If you must edit the registry, back it up first and see the Registry Reference on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit companion CD or on the Web at https://www.microsoft.com/reskit |
