Interview Question in Sharepoint 2003


 

Question :: ¿How to update user content under Sharepoint 2003 without having to shutdown the site

I have joined a company that uses Sharepoint 2003 to show some data online like cubes, dashboards and certain data.

The site is publicly available (anonymous access, no individual accounts), but when it's time to update the site's content, i've been told, the admin needs to disable the anonymous access (the site now prompts for user/pwd) and restarts the webserver -- all these in order to be able to log-in as admin and update the content. After the site is updated, the admin switchs again to anonymous access and the webserver is restarted.

Is this the way to do it? The admin hasn't found a way to log-in as an admin (and be able to update content) without having to restart the web server - the idea is not to interrupt the service while updating our contents.
The admin says the sharepoint site won't allow him to log-in as an admin (using a web browser) when the site is set to allow anonymous access.

Any ideas?
