SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0 now ignores the
AspAllowOutOfProcComponents metabase property value and sets the default value
to TRUE. This is a change from IIS 4.0, where this property was set to FALSE by
default.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In IIS 4.0, the AspAllowOutOfProcComponents metabase property was set to FALSE
for security reasons, where it was possible for a user to start an
out-of-process component that could later be used by another user in the
original user's context. Changes in the architecture of IIS 5.0 prevent this
from occurring and the value of this property is now ignored.
