How to check or set the password of the IUSR and IWAM local accounts , Sync passwords between IIS and MTS

How to check or set the password of the IUSR and IWAM local accounts

First we need to change the settings so we can see the password. Go to: C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\   And open adsutil.vbs in notepad or any text editor.

Search ""IsSecureProperty = True"" and replace with ""IsSecureProperty = False""

You may revert the above changes once you see the password.

To see IUSR password:
Start up command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd)
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/anonymoususerpass

Results should be something like:

anonymoususerpass : (STRING) “:tu*gu866IGHJK”

To see IWAM password:
Start up command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd)
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/wamuserpass

How to change the IUSR or IWAM password:
Instead of running a ‘get’ command in your cscript ,  run a ’set’ command to set new password. 
How to set the password for the IUSR account.

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe synciwam.vbs -v
