It's probably easier to make the change in IIS than in your script.

The IUSR_* user is created when IIS is installed (prob with OS). IIS uses this account by default to allow internet access. By default the IUSR password is given few access rights on the server and nothing on remote servers. You can however change the user that IIS uses on a site wide or per folder basis.

Select the properties page for the virtual directory that you are working with. select the 'Directory Security' tab. Click the edit button in the section concerning authentication. A new Dialog called 'Authentication Methods' is shown. The Anonymous access section has another Edit button that allows you to choose the user account that IIS will use. This can be a local or domain password.

You may also want to uncheck the 'Integrated Windows Authentication' checkbox. Inman
