 * Wordfence fails the scan attempt – says security is too tight on the server folder.
   
   What should it be and for which user? Windows 2008 r2 iis 7.5

 * Hi dcassara,
    Although we have some reports of Wordfence working fine on IIS,
   Windows servers aren’t officially supported as per our [system requirements](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_system_requirements#Operating_system),
   however, please feel free to share with us a [screenshot](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/I'm_sorry._I'm_not_very_technical._How_do_I_take_a_screenshot%3F)
   showing this message you got while trying to perform the scan.
 * Thanks.
