Hi All,

Is it safe to rename IUSR_Server_Name & IWAM_Server_Name local user accounts?

I've just finished IIS 6.0 Server migration using IIS 6.0 Migration tool.
During the Migration, I used temporary name for the new IIS 6.0 server.

I renamed the server after the migration. Now the IUSR & IWAM user accounts
showing the old server name.

Thanks in advance for any expert advice out there.

Personally I would leave it alone but it should be fairly straight forward
although I've never done it myself:-

IISRESET /Stop

Use Admin tools to rename the accounts

Open the metabase.xml and replace all IUSR and IWAM usernames with the new
ones.

If you are running IIS5 isolation mode then you may need to hunt through the
IIS COM+ apps and change the IWAM user name in the Identiy tab.

IISRESET /start

c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe "c:\inetpub\adminscripts\synciwam.vbs" –v

More to add to what Anthony said.

If you are using SMS on your network, after renaming the IUSR and IWAM
users, you will notice that SMS Advanced Client will no longer install on
the server.

You will find this helpful to fix that:
