How to set permissions for the check server health utility so that you can use the Owsadm.exe command in FrontPage 2002 server extensions

This article describes how to set the permissions for the check server health utility so that you can use the Owsadm.exe command. This utility helps you to repair or to tighten security settings in Microsoft FrontPage 2002 server extensions.

The check server health utility helps you to maintain the supporting files of your Microsoft FrontPage extended Web site. This utility performs a set of tests that you can use to make sure of the integrity of your Web site system files and security settings.

You can set the permissions of the check server health utility to fix using the Owsadm.exe command at the command prompt. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and then press ENTER after each command:
   • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\bin
     This path assumes that the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions are installed in the default folder. Change the path according to your particular installation.
   • owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn checkrolesconfig -pv fix
   • owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn checkuseraccess -pv fix
   • owsadm.exe -o check -p lm/w3svc/1
   • Type exit, and then press ENTER to quit the command prompt.

Note By default, your Web server's Default Web site uses port 80. If you have changed that setting or you are installing the server extensions on a different virtual server, substitute the appropriate port number for 80, or use an instance number, such as /LM/W3SVC/1 or /LM/W3SVC/3.

By default, when you run the owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn checkrolesconfig -pv fix command or the owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn checkuseraccess -pv fix command, the values of the following registry subkeys will be set to “Fix” in Registry Editor:
