The permissions on the virtual server should have both anonymous access enabled, as well as Integrated Authentication.
The permissions on all of the virtual directories should only have anonymous
access enabled,
except 'WSUSAdmin', which should only have Integrated Authentication
enabled,
and 'selfupdate', which for some reason has anonymous and Integrated
Authentication enabled.
I'm not yet sure of the reason for the requirement of IA on the selfupdate
tree.If you are installing WSUS on a Domain Controller, then all of the
following permissions for "Administrators" should be "Domain Admins",
and permissions for "Users" should be "Domain Users".
If you are using Windows 2000, the permissions for "Network
Service" may be assigned to the SYSTEM account.
The permissions on the \Program Files\Update Services folder should be
Full Control: SYSTEM, Administrators
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: IWAM_ComputerName, WSUS
Administrators
These permissions should be inherited throughout the ~\Update Services
folder tree, with the exceptions noted below.
In addition, these subfolders of ~\Update Services
administration
service
webservices
should also have:
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: NT AUTHORITY\Network Service
The Common folder should have no inherited permissions and:
Full Control: SYSTEM
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: Users
The Logfiles folder should have no inhereited permissions and:
Full Control: SYSTEM, NetworkService, Administrators, and
IWAM_ComputerName
The selfupdate folder should have no inheriited permissions and:
Full Control: SYSTEM, Administrators
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: Users
and these permissions should be inherited downward.
The webservices folder should have:
Inherited permissions for: Administrators, IWAM_ComputerName
Full Control: SYSTEM, Administrators
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: Authenticated Users,
Users, NetworkService
The \WSUS folder should have:
Full Control: SYSTEM, Administrators
Read/Read & Execute/List Folder Contents: Users, NetworkService
and these permissions should be inherited to \WSUS\WSUSContent, but not
\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS
The \WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS folder should have:
Full Control: Administrators
inherited down the folder tree |
