Good Afternoonm
I am currently trying to Set up a Stand Alone IIS 6.0 Server for web hosting. Currently we have a server that is setup and each website hosted on it is assigned it's own IP address. You can see where this would cause a problem. We are almost out of IP address. So what I am trying to do is configure IIS to login to a specific directory dependent on which user logs in. I have set the home directory for the user in the user account properties and that has no affect. When I setup the IIS FTP site I choose to Isolate the users... And it has no effect. Anyone provide some Suggestions??

Local User Isolation mode can be of some help, but you would either have to move all the web source files into the personal directory of the FTP user (then point the web site to the relocated files) or you have to tell the FTP user to issue a Change Directory command just after they have logged in.
If you tell the user to issue a change directory command then this would need to be linked with virtual directories under the main FTP site. Each virtual directory would point to the source files for one web site. Then tell each user the names of their virtual directories. To avoid the risk of one user guessing the virtual directory name of another users web site, you would have to use Windows permissions on the folders to exclude access by the non-owners.
By the way, I would also recommend that you don't have the IIS FTP server running on a domain controller. It is not possible to have local user isolation mode on a DC and FTP can be a bit of a security risk so best not to have it on a DC.
