We've currently got four web servers in a farm generating IIS web logs about 100Mb per day. These can be compressed pretty effieciently down to somewhere around 5% of their size. We are planning to use waRmZip to move them off the servers and onto a SAN. After a week or so we can be confident we don't have any technical issues to invest...
I have a .net web-service hosted in IIS 6.0 that periodically fails with an http 500 because a client connects to it with data that does not match the wsdl. Things like having an element specified in a method as being of type int and the inbound xml element contains a decimal number. WSDL element definition: <s:element minOccurs="1" m...

I have built a MS Access 2007 application that can create reports files in various formats (PDF, XLS, CSV, XML). I would like to allow the creation of these reports to be accessible from a web page where users would just click on a link and get a download of the report produced by my Access application.

Would it be wwwroot, C, the root virtual directory where the assets are hosted, or the same folder that the assets are in? Meaning if I have a virtual directory 'virdir' with a sub directory 'swf', which is really like C:\somedir\assets\swf\, where would the crossdomain.xml need to go so that my swf app on a different server can access ...

What's the best way to get a nice clean URL structure like stack overflow has? Do I need to use IIS for this? Or is there a way I can do it with some sort of mapping file in asp .net?

We have a dedicated godaddy server and it seemed to grind to a halt when we had users downloading only 3MB every 2 seconds (this was over about 20 http requests). I want to look into database locking etc. to see if that is a problem - but first I'm curious as to what a dedicated server ought to be able to serve. ...
Our groups legacy ASP 3.0 web apps were able to take advantage of a global error file by setting up a custom error file within IIS's Custom Error's tab.

Just recently I replaced some images, but now when I try the site, I get a prompt for a password as if It were looking for something on the local network! I checked, all image paths are writ...
