Some important notes concerning IIS configuration.

• Ensure Application Protection on the Home tab is set to "Medium (Pooled)" – "High" will cause excessive caching.
  
• The following folders and files under the WebSite root should not be accessible to the public:
  
  /data
  /sitecore/admin
  /sitecore/debug 
  /sitecore/rest.html
   
  Ensure that Enable anonymous access is disabled in the Authentication window of the Directory tab in the properties of each folder in the IIS management console.
   
• Windows 2003
  On the Performance tab in the Properties of the appropriate Application Pool, ensure Maximum number of worker processes is ALWAYS “1”.
   
  Note: on multiple processor servers, this value may automatically be set higher than one during the process of OS/IIS installation. On these servers it is therefore especially important to check this setting as it will likely be higher than "1".
   
• Restart IIS (see Restarting ASP.NET and/or the machine).
