    IUSR_computername user getting deleted automatically

    I am facing a problem with one of my Windows 2003 servers. The websites hosted on the server use IUSR_computername user for anonymous authentication for the websites. Please note that I have anonymous authentication disabled for FTP. The problem is that every night the IUSR_computername user gets deleted automatically and all the websites start asking for password as there is no user for the anonymous browsing of the websites. I checked the event log, but could not find anything. How do I find why the user is getting deleted automatically?
