    - How can I clean (re)install a broken IIS5.1? Hi, my IIS (on XP Pro SP1 + security rollupfixes) has stopped serving anything except ASP pages, with no obvious error messages (HHTP or otherwise appearing). So I removed ISS usign add/remove and then carried out a standard default install of IIS. However the previous problems remain, namely that it will only serve ASP pages; html, images, pdf etc are not served. The web log shows that the get requests are completing with a 200 or 206 for images, yet nothing gets back to the browser. Obviously, when I remove IIS, not all settings in the registry are being cleared, so I am hoping that someone may know of a location where I can determine what I should clean out before trying another re-install. I have also tried finding a post with similar problems but no luck so far. thanks for any help Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336971

    - New virtual directory using command line How do I go about creating a new virtual directory (or website) using command line options? I'm trying to make an installscript that can be used both for IIS 5 and 6. What I need to do is to set up the new virtual virtual directory, point it to the directory the user chooses during install and then set up the proper parameters for scripts and executables as well as users. (The web app also uses an ISAPI web service extension). I've been fiddling around with the adsutil.vbs script but I can't get it to do what I want. Every time i try to run: "adsutil.vbs create w3svc/1/root/NameOfApp "C:\path" it gives me: Error creating the object ErrNumber: -2147463153 (0x800500F).

    - II6 and ASP Downloading problem Hi We are using Windows 2003 with IIS 6. We could not be able to download the files through ASP that are more than 20 MB. (We already increased the AspBufferingLimit in the MetaBase.xml to over 20 MB but no luck.) I found the KB http://support.microsoft.com/?id=826756 But while waiting for the MS support to send that file to me, is there are any worarounds I can try? -- Best Regards, Y.

    - Unable to download Excel Files after Running IIS Lockdown We have a Windows 2000 Standard Server and implemented IIS lockdown, including URLscan. Since doing so it is not possible to download Excel documents from the website. When attempting to download the Excel file, the following error message is received: "Internet Explorer cannot download <filename>.xls from <website name" "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." The file is definitely on the server and we can open it on the server with Excel. If I rename the file to a different extension e.g. MyExcelfile.abc then it will download OK. This seems to indicate that URLScan is getting in the way, however, it does not show a failed attempt to access the Excel document in the URLScan log files. We have added .xls to the allowed extensions in URLScan, but this hasn't solved the problem. Could anyone offer any advice on how to solve this issue, please? TIA for your time and help.

    - w3wp.exe has 100% load when publishing with FrontPage We have one server, where every publish using FrontPage results in a 100% load of the w3wp.exe process. We need to kill the process. If we publish once using an Administration account, than everything works fine, even another user can publish. The next day, w3wp.exe hangs again when publishing. The server is a clean install of Windows Server 2003, so we did not migrate from FP 2000. We urgently need some help, any suggestions are welcome.

    - IIS downtime! As soon as a 500 ASP error occurs in my server, the ASP pages are not being processed further. When I try to access another ASP page, the server restarts displays the page and shuts down... the HTML Pages work fine.. no trouble with them. Does anyone know why this happens?? How can a IIS server start the asp processing server for just processing the page and after finishing the processing, immediately shut down??? Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336958

    - Virtual Directory Problems I'm trying to set up virtual directories that point to shared folders on another Win2000server, but I'm having trouble accessing the folders via the website. For a start, on the non-webserver I don't have the 'web-sharing' tab when I come to view folder properties. Do I need to install IIS on the non-webserver? Can I achieve a secure logon to a virtual folder on the second machine? Help please. Terry Ballard Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336957

    - Can Host Headers with No Default Domain Name? I've recently taken up a dedicated server package for hosting a number of web sites which are registered with a different company. The dedicated server has no domain dame associated with it, just an IP address. I can't get Host Headers working, IIS seems to expect a Host Header in a the format domainname.com (with or without the www. prefix Is there any way around this or do I need to get a default domain name set up in order to use Host Headers?

    - batch update the ip address of all webs in IIS 5 Hello, we are moving an existing and configured webserver IIS5 to our offices, so we have to change the ip address of the network card. Does any one know if it is possible to change the ip addresses of all the webs by scripting? Or by editing a file/registry? I've searched almost anything but don't find where this is stored. I guess it must be in the MetaBase? Is it possible to change this with scripting? Or is the only manner to do this manually? Anyone already ran into such a situation?

    - iis redirect question, redirect folder requests Hey, I want to set up a redirect for requests to a folder to a specific page, but let all requests for content within that folder go directly to the content so http://www.server.com/D/ goes to http://www.server.com/howdy.asp and all requests to http://www.server.com/D/hi.xsd goes to http://www.server.com/D/hi.xsd in iis 6 does that require an isapi redirect or can it be done simpler?

    - IIS 6 -Publishing from FP -site gets dropped in default site direc Hi When I publish from FP to win2003 server running iis 6.0 the site gets published to the wrong directory on the server it should get published to d:\sites\site1\www and istead it gets published to the default website directory I think the problem has to do with host headers ?? I'm using some static addresses and some host headers this site has a static address probably not configuring them correctly or something... I have about 10 small sites on this server and most of them work fine it could also have to do with the front page extensions but I'm not sure I have deleted and readded the site with no luck and tried to dupicate the settings under properties from similar sites on this server any suggeations would be greatly appreciated Regards, Phil...

    - Setting bandwidth throttling on NT4 - how? I'm running IIS 4 and an SMTP server (post.office) on separate machines (each running NT-4 server). On the local LAN, accessing the WWW site (and downloading large files from the site) is relatively fast, and so is POP-3 to the SMTP server. However, when accessing the WWW site or pulling e-mail off the server via the internet connection (ISDN) and while monitoring the bandwidth usage on the ISDN router, it's clear that some sort of throttling is happening (ie continuous utilization of 100% bandwidth is not happening for both large WWW file downloads nor pop-3 email access with large attached files). In the IIS control panel, there is a bandwidth setting where I can set the max bytes/second that IIS will serve up. It says that setting will supercede some global maching bandwidth or throttling setting. But it doesn't say _where_ that global setting is located. So, is there such a global bandwidth setting for NT-4 server, and if so where is it? PS: Is there a newsgroup called microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.smtp_nntp ?

    - Setting up FTP I using Server 2003 with IIS 6. I am trying to set up two FTP accounts. Under FTP Sites in IIS 6 I have run the FTP setup wizard and created two sites. FTP1 and FTP2. I then ftp into mysite.com with a username of ftp1, I am able to see only my directory and everything works fine. I then ftp into mysite.com with a username of ftp2 and corresponding password. I log in but I don't see the directory for ftp2, I only see the directory for ftp1. How can I change it so the corresponding directory for each? I have tried both the isolation method and non isolation method. Due to my directory structure I would prefer to use the non isolation method.

    - upgrading web server to windows 2003 and IIS 6.0 I made a mistake when upgrading our windows 2000 web server to windows 2003. I was prompted that the www publishing service would be disabled during the upgrade and went ahead and upgraded the server any way. I have since found out the disabling was probably due to not having the IIS 5.0 lock down tool installed. Now that the server is windows 2003, I don't appear to be able to install the lock down tool now. What must I do to get this web server to II6 and windows 2003?

I've tried looking at the install CD hoping to install IIS as an additional windows component, but didn't find it in the list that appeared. Is IIS not part of WinXP Home Ed?

    - Perl & CGI on IIS I'm having trouble running a Perl script on IIS 6.0 (Also on earlier versions). The script runs fine until I get to a page that has a form with a lot of input fields. Then it locks up for several minutes and displays "CGI Timeout. The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process." If I shorten the form (remove some input fields) it works fine. I was previously running on IIS 5.0 on a Windows 2000 server and it worked until a couple of days ago. The application works fine on Windows XP Professional (running IIS 5.1 I believe). I'm curious as to why it stopped working recently and why it seems to work on the XP Professional machine.

    - Can't debug Web Service - IIS Change URL to Upper Case Hi, I don't know where this question should post to, hopefully this is the right one. This problem has struggled me for a long time now and has prevented me from debugging any of my .net web service, so any help is VERY VERY APPREPCIATED!!! My problem is that whenever I click a link to a site in my localhost, the URL is changed to all uppercase. For example, when I'm in <<http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx>> and click on a web method, the URL becomes <<http://localhost/WebService1/SERVICE1.ASMX?op=createCustomer>> and after I enter parameters and click "Invoke", the URL becomes <<http://localhost/WEBSERVICE1/SERVICE1.ASMX/createCustomer>> and I get "Page cannot display" error. This happens to all my .net web services and all web methods, so I'm sure that it's not problem of my web method. Also, if I browse my virtual folders and click on a file, the URL will become all upper case (all partially upper case). Since case doesn't matter in this scenerio, there is no error. Thanks in advance for any help!!!! Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336888

    - IIS 6 - Multiple IP's & Multiple SSL We have a 2003 Server running IIS that we'd like to be able to run multiple websites on but each site requires it's own SSL - so from what I've read - each site also requires a unique IP. From what we understand, we cannot use host headers. I have a several IP's bound to the same nic and they all show up in the IIS and are able to select them in the properties for each site. None of the sites have "all unassigned' chosen. However only the first site (which is bound to the actual IP of the nic) seems to work. The others are either redirected to the first site somehow or don't return anything at all. Do you have any tips or tricks for me? Or is this not possible at all?

    - IIS6 Hangs I'm having a problem with IIS6 hanging and have to restart the www publishing service numerous times during the day. I have iisstate running in the form iisstate -p pid -d -sc as IIS6 doesn't crash but I don't get anything further in the log when it hangs, I tried it with iisstate -p pid -d -hc as well and that didn't make a difference. I also get the message: The call to LoadLibrary(exts_ failed, Win32 error 2 "The system cannot find the file specified." Please check your debugger configuration and/or network access. Symbol search path is: SRV*C:\iisstate\symbols*http://mdsl.microsoft.com/downloads/symbols When iisstate starts is this a problem as well? Any help much appreciated.

    - Getting hit by numerous POST /spipe/pkg requests Hello all, About a week ago, our web servers started getting hit with POST /spipe/pkg requests from a single IP address. The requests were coming on an order of 100K per day. We cut off the offending IP address at the firewall level, but now we're seeing it from multiple IP addresses. I have not been able to find anything on Google or any of the Security web sites about a virus or worm that might be causing this. The only mention of it in the archives for this newsgroup is 2 years old and there was no reply. Is anyone else seeing this and/or have an idea as to what is causing this? We know for a fact that at least one of the offending IP addresses belongs to a customer of ours. They are currently checking their systems. I'd love to be able to tell them where to look.

    - IIS on 2000 ADV Server with .wml support Just wondering if anyone has gotten this resolved?? I had seen a post awhile ago and did post to that particular thread but didn't hear anything back. The way I test it is from a Linux box by using this command "lynx -mime_header http://www.test.com/test.wml" and it also returns a result of "Content-Type: text/html" instead of "Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml". I have this confiured on a Linux box and when I run the above command I do in fact get the return of the proper content type which is text/vnd.wap.wml. Any ideas, this seems like it may not be supported in IIS, which wouldn't be very nice at all....... Mike Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336859

    - what exactly is a "web site"? I hope this doesn't come across as a totally ridiculous question, but what exactly is a "web site"? On the face of it, I would have thought that a web site is ONLY defined as a folder situated directly underneath the "Web Sites" level in the IIS Manager. Any folder further down the tree is not technically a web site since it's merely a sub folder or virtual directory of a bona fida web site. However, since I can "create" an application at a level further down the tree (thereby assigning it an application pool), I am now wondering if the proper definition of a web site is anything running within an application pool. I'm just wanting to get my terminology right - my colleagues and I frequently talk about "web sites" but we don't really know what we mean by the term "web site". Therefore, I am wondering if there is a de facto definiton of what a web site is when it comes to IIS 6.0. Any thoughts? Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336858

    - a few questions about application pool identities (IIS 6.0) I have a few questions about application pool identities: 1) Would there be any problem with using Local Service as an application pool identity? I see it is in the IIS_WPG group so I presume it will be ok. I don;t want to use Network Service since that's used in another application pool and I want to keep my two pools as separate as possible. 2) I notice also that Local System is one of the "predefined" IDs in the IIS Manager (in the identity tab of application pool properties). What does it means to be "predefined"? Does it mean that it's a good choice to use? I would have thought that Local System would be a bad choice as an application pool identity becuase it's so powerful. 3) Is there anything wrong with using IWAM as the application pool identity? Again, that's in the IIS_WPG group so I presume it's ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336847

    - remote administration of IIS Hi, I need my application to create virtual directories on an IIS server that is live on the internet. How can I administer a remote IIS server with .net ? Also I need to have some security mechanism for accessing the IIS server through code. The server is an IIS 6.0 on a Win 2003 server box. I tried using DirectoryEntry class, but it gives the error "The RPC Server is Unavailable", though the server iis is running. I find that I cannot use a webservice as the permission set for a webservice seems insufficient to create a virtual directory. Also I gather that http channel remoting might not work from behing authenticated proxies and a firewall.

    - SMTP Relay Problem Running Win 2000 Server as a standalone with POP3 mailboxes, I am getting spammers relaying thru the smtp virtual server, even though I have restricted Relay Access by selecting the radio button "Only the List Below", with no computers listed, and have checked the box "Allow all computers that successfully authenticate to relay". Authentication Access has "Anonymous Access" and "Integrated Windows Authentication" checked. (I tried unchecking Anonymous Access but that does not stop the unauthorized relay.) It almost seems to me that the spammers are somehow authenticating on this server. Any ideas as to how the spammers are accomplishing the relay and what can be done to stop it. So far, my only remedy has been to stop the smtp virtual server, which of course renders my email system inoperable. Tag: Backing up and restoring IIS settings Tag: 336833

I am putting together a server build documentation and script for an IIS server that I didn't initially build and for which I have no build instructions.

Is there any way to back up all the IIS install configuration options so that I can make this part of an automated build script?

Hi,

This really depends on what version of IIS you are talking about. IIS 6.0
allows you to export the metabase using a custom password to encrypt
sensitive information in the metabase - you will need this password when
restoring this backup.

Information in previous versions of IIS are encrypted using the machine key,
which changes between installations of Windows. Any metabase.bin backup can
only be restored to the same machine that it was backed up from.

That said, there are some third party tools that can allow you to back this
up - I can't think of their names OTOH, but I'm sure someone else can chime
in, or you can google.
