IIS Settings
When you package a site, Site Packager includes many of your IIS settings. It does not pack an IIS Web site (such as Default Web Site), but it does pack the files in the physical root folder of the application and all of its physical child folders and files.
To view IIS settings for an application, folder, or file
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Commerce Server 2000, and then click Commerce Server Manager.
In the Commerce Server Manager window, expand Internet Information Services, expand the name of the Web server containing an application, expand the name of the IIS Web site in which the application resides, right-click the name of an application, folder, or file, and then click Properties.
The Properties dialog box for the application appears.
The following tables list the settings for the Virtual Directory and Directory Security tabs in the Properties dialog box, and indicate which ones are packaged when using Site Packager.

IIS Virtual Directories
If you have virtual directories located within the application, the virtual directory object and the folders and files in the path it points to will not be packaged. If you want to package these folders and files, copy them to a folder in the physical path of the application before packaging them.
NTFS Permissions
NTFS permissions and access control lists on folders and files are not packaged. You can use the unpack.vbs script or postsite**.vbs** script to apply NTFS permissions automatically after unpacking.
