URLScan, FlexWiki and Reporting Services

Here's hoping that someone will find this information useful when working with the IIS Lockdown Tool, FlexWiki and Reporting Services. If the URLScan filter is set to a fairly restrictive level, neither Reporting Services or FlexWiki will work (returning constant 404 errors). I found helpful advice at the following pages:

FlexWiki and URLScan : Robert Hurlbut points out that setting the “AllowDotInPath” setting in urlscan.ini to "1" fixes FlexWiki.
Operating .NET-based Applications : The code for this MS whitepaper (see Security Guide Scripts Download) has sample urlscan.ini files for development and production servers, which will re-enable ASP and ASPX files in IIS.
Got IIS Problems? Check the URLScan logs : Darrell Norton brings all of the advice that I've listed here together himself, and even explains what's going on (see also his entry on How to Configure IISLockdown and UrlScan for .NET Servers).
How To Configure URLScan to Allow Requests with a Null Extension in IIS : a step I didn't have to do (but it's not over yet) from the MS KB's.
