FrontPage 2002 ASP pages may not function correctly and you may receive the "Server Extensions unable to access the file Frontpage.lck" error message when you try to use FrontPage 2002 ASP pages

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Active Server Pages (ASP) pages may not function correctly, and you may receive the following error message when you try to use FrontPage 2002 ASP pages:
Error Server Extensions unable to access the file Frontpage.lck please check permissions.

CAUSE

This issue may occur after you run the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Wizard with the Deny write access to anonymous users and applications option.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use the Cacls.exe command-line utility to remove the deny write access groups from the \inetpub\wwwroot folder on the server. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Locate the \inetpub\wwwroot folder, right-click the \inetpub\wwwroot folder, and then click Properties.
  2. Click the Security tab, and then note the groups that are configured with deny write permissions.
  3. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  4. At the command prompt, type cacls drive_letter:\inetpub\wwwroot /t /e/ c /r "group_name" where drive_letter is the drive where your system is installed, and group_name is the name of the group that you want to remove deny write permissions for on the wwwroot folder and its contents and subfolders.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
