SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the browser-based Internet Services Manager (ISM) to create a
virtual directory that uses an extended character in its name, the following
problems occur:

- The Local path text box is blank.
- The Read, Log visits, and Index this resource check boxes are not selected
  (checked).
- A Web application based on the virtual directory does not appear to have been
  created (although it actually has been created).
- The Execute permissions and Application Protection drop-down lists are too
  small, and are not populated.

WORKAROUND
==========

Use the IIS snap-in version of the ISM to correctly view and modify the
settings.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information
Services version 5.0.
