If you implement ServletExec 2.0 on a computer running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), do not log off of the server. If security is a concern, lock the server with an administrator account.
STATUS
This problem has been confirmed with IIS 4.0; however, ServletExec 2.0 is supported on all versions of IIS. This same behavior may occur with all versions of IIS.
