IUSR account and SCCM 2007 R3 agent
I recently started working with SCCM and rolling the agent out with machine having IIS 7.x installed. I ran into issues where the SCCM agent wouldn't install. The errors mostly were 0x80004005 and 1603, another key one I found was Return Value 3 in the SCCM setup log. During the troubleshooting, I found a cool utility called WMI Diag WMI diag is a VBS script that reads the local WMI store and helps diagnose issue. Anyone working with SMS or SCCM should keep this handy tool around. The good thing my particular case WMI was healthy.

As Microsoft recently closed the newsgroups, there was a very unique and helpful newsgroup dedicated to Microsoft SMTP Service. I created a microsite dedicated to Microsoft SMTP Service (aka IIS SMTP). I'm hoping to have others from the community who use Microsoft SMTP Service feature contribute targeting just SMTP Service.

Troubleshooting IIS 7 network performance issues and TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side Scaling, and Network Direct Memory Access
There is a lot of posts on http://forums.iis.net related to network performance. Actually, there was two today!. The problems can be different, but the common thread seems to be network performance. Windows Server 2008 (and R2) enabled a new network feature by default which has been referred to as "Scalable Networking Pak". Some people refer to the feature as TCP Chimney Offload. Either way, in my experience this feature causes more issues than it solves. If you are having a network related issue or performance, this is a easy setting to check and verify if disabling portions or all of them can resolve the issue.

Hardening IIS 7.x discussion
I've seen a few posts asking "How do I harden my IIS 7 machine". Frankly, Microsoft IIS Team has done an excellent job making a IIS Admin's life much easier and doesn't require nearly as much as IIS 5 days :) Here is a thread though that discusses some other techniques. Thought I'd pass it along.
