Ensure the shell command is disabled. Check the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters

For the following value:

SSIEnableCmdDirective REG_DWORD 0

If the value is not a REG_DWORD= 0, this is a finding.

If the registry key does not exist for IIS 5 or IIS 6, this would not be a finding as it defaults to disabled. Previous versions of IIS should be marked as a finding if the key does not exist.
