I am trying to use the ColdFusion administrator to schedule a task. It is returning an error which says that there are not enough permissions to execute the task.

I can successfully execute the cfm file in IE, so it's not an error with the actual file.

So from what I've read about this, it appears to be an IIS problem. Do I need to change IIS_WPG permissions on the scheduled tasks folder?

I'm wondering what permissions I need to change to be able to execute scheduled tasks. Also would be interested in best security practices.

A: 

Although I was not initially aware of this, I found out that windows integrated authentication was turned on.

I had the server admin set the IIS security on folder to anonymous access which contained the tasks. This fixed the problem.
