postreboot.pl and configuring IIS manually

I've been installing 5.5.2 on a clean NT 4 box running IIS 4 and have run into problems...

IIS is configured using postreboot.pl which it executed once the server has been restarted. Unfortunately this script is trying to add a user to a domain we have no control over so it fails. I can't find any instructions on how to manually perform the tasks in postreboot on IIS could anyone give me some pointers please?

For one thing, you will need to create a virtual directory in IIS named "iw-mount" that points to "Y:\"

I just did a 5.5.1 install which did not complete successfully, and after I made that change things worked fine.

As a side note, my OpenDeploy did not work out of the box either. I had to run the iwuser commands listed on page 58 of the OD manual.

The way I have solved this in the past (v4.5.1 - v5.0.1) is to create TSIMP_hostname user with blank password prior to installation or running tspostreboot.pl. If you are familiar with perl, scan through tspostreboot.pl and check tspostreboot.log

Here's a minor annoyance I discovered that will cause tspostreboot.ipl to fail. If you are running on windows and using something other than IIS as the customer webserver, you must still have IIS installed. In 5.0.1 (and presumably later) tspostreboot.pl checks a registry key that only exists if IIS is installed, whether you tell it to autoconfigure IIS or not.

Thanks for the advice, i resorted to reading throught the perl file and manually performing the tasks in it. Just surprised there was no information on it in the knowledge base.
