Resync the IIS anonymous username and password on my Plesk server (windows)
Jan 15th
When trying to access your domain, you are receiving a login prompt for a username and password. If you click ‘cancel’ on this prompt, you will receive the following HTTP error:
HTTP Error 401.1 – Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

This indicates that the anonymous username and password configured in IIS for your domain are not correct. On a Plesk server, there is a tool included that will automatically resync this login information in IIS. To resync the anonymous username and password for one of your domains, issue the following command from a command prompt (replace yahoo.com with your domain name):
“C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\websrvmng.exe” – -update-anon-password – -domain-name=thesupportsystem.co.uk
