The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========
You cannot use the Windows 2000 IIS snap-in to manage Internet Information
Server 4.0 computers that have the system locale is set to French.
CAUSE
=====
Because the encryption laws in France have been modified, Windows 2000 computers
with the system locale set to French have the same behavior as Windows 2000
computers using a non-French locale, as follows:
- Portions of the Internet Information Services 5.0 metabase are encrypted.
- IIS remote administration uses an encrypted-session protocol (analog to SSL)
to avoid transmission of plain text data over the wire.
The current design does not allow you to do the following:
- To negotiate the encryption level between the IIS Admin client and the
Internet Information Server 4.0 computer.
- To specify the encryption level for a specific management session.
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
==========
- Use the HTML Internet Admin tool (HTMLA) to manage the Internet Information
Server 4.0 computer.
- Use a Windows NT 4.0 computer to administer the Web Server using the IIS
snap-in.
