# Run Server Health Check for a Web site
| About the Server Health Check
The Server Health Check feature lets you ensure the integrity of the supporting files for your Microsoft FrontPage-extended Web. This feature can also ensure that your site security settings are still functioning and that none of your subwebs has allowed anonymous users to modify site content. As a site administrator, you can enable or disable the Server Health Check options and run it whenever needed. The Server Health Check can perform the following checks and make repairs when it detects errors: Reapply file security settings Reapplies user permissions settings for all files within the web or subweb. This ensures that each user's access rights (as defined by his or her user role) have been applied to each file. Verify existence of webs This ensures that all subwebs are present. Check roles configuration This ensures that user role settings can be enforced. Tighten security This ensures that all the necessary Web site files and directories are present, and that only users with the proper permissions have access to them. Check anonymous authoring This checks the anonymous user access rights for the Web site and all subwebs to ensure that anonymous users don't have the right to modify any content. Note if a subweb exists on a shared folder that is not currently available, the Server Health Check will report this when the Verify existence of webs option turned on. In that case, do not use the Fix option. Doing so will cause the subweb to lose security settings and appear as a folder (not a subweb) when the shared folder becomes available again. If this problem occurs, use FrontPage 2002 to re-establish the folder as a subweb. On the Site Administration page, under Server Health, click Check server health. Select the check boxes next to Detect and/or Repair to enable the actions that you want the Server Health Check to complete. Click Ok. Note If you don't see the Check server health option, you are probably in a subweb and need to navigate to the top-level Web site of the server or virtual server. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.
