FP2002: Error Message: The User Account 'Username' Cannot Be Added...

When you attempt to add a user account to the permissions by using the FrontPage Server Extensions Administration page, you may receive the following error message:

By default, FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions and SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft do not allow accounts created by the extensions to be used on any site other than the site for which they were created.

1. On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd and click OK.
3. At the command prompt, change to the following folder:
   Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\Bin

   OWSADM.EXE -o setproperty -pn accounttracking -pv 0
