Got reports of a web app going down twice in three weeks. Need to do some root cause analysis. works fine after a reboot. I'm not really an expert in this field. It is hosted on IIS and Windows 2003. There is nothing interesting in the event viewer, and IIS logs just show lots of successful GET operations. There is nothing interesting ...
I have a custom site I'm building with automatic url rewriting using a custom engine. The rewriting works fine as long as the page url doesn't end in somehting like .htm or .html. For these pages it goes directly to the iis 404 page instead of hitting my rewriting engine first. I have the * wildcard handler in the "Home Directory" sec...

I'm trying to migrate a VB6 business object, which uses RDS to be accessed, from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003 server environment. I've made no changes to the app, nor the calling app, but I am getting an error code 440 Automation Error when the code execution reaches the point of parsing the XML data that the object is supposed to p...
On a Windows 2003 server running IIS 6.0 and FastCGI with an ExpressionEngine-powered website, I've encountered an issue where links containing index.php fail unless a question mark is added. The basic issue is that if a link points to "index.php/archive/article", the page fails to load (see below) but it will work when "index.php?/arc...

To debug some code, I would like to view the Windows event log of a remote machine (target is Windows2003). With mmc.exe I can add the event log for a remote machine, but only if I have sufficient permissions. For this remote machine, they do not want to give me permissions to log in remotely (or admin privileges for that matter). Is ...
In IIS 6 on a Server 2003 box, when I view the list of websites, it doesn't list them in alphabetical order. I'm assuming that it sorts them on their website ID. I have one server that won't be getting upgraded to 2008 for a while and it hosts about 40 websites. It has become quite cumbersome for me to look through the list to find ...
We are migrating to a new server running Windows 2003 and IIS 6. When my PHP code runs, it has a warning on a particular line (which I'm expecting at the moment but will fix shortly). However, when it hits the warning, it immediately halts processing and returns a 500 error in the HTTP header. Normally, I would expect PHP to output the w...
We've been having intermittent problems causing users to be forcibly logged out of out application. Our set-up is ASP.Net/C# web application on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with SQL Server 2000 on the back end.

We are setting up production servers (Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit) for a web application that uses the Dundas Maps for ASP.Net component. After installation we receive the following error: "RunSilent has encountered a problem and needs to close." The question is, what on earth is RunSilent? A google search gets nothing of interest b...
I have an app that has quite a bit of instrumentation via the Performance Monitor. The Performance Alerts are working fine, but I have a requirement for an alert threshold that I can't seem to figure out. I do not want to write a custom app to make it happen. There is a counter that I need to alert on when the value == zero over a 60 mi...
Assumption: this is an internal web server Is there anything special you have to do to get Windows 2003 to act as an anonymous SMTP relay server? I have configured many Windows 2000 servers to do this in the past and never had an issue. I remember in Windows 2003 Microsoft went a little strong with the security... So is there any spec...
Using Windows 2003, I'm look for a way to create a "logoff script" that will continue with the current logoff then immediately login another user. So, "UserA" logs off. Script fires to login "UserB". This is part of an application upgrade for a computer where we have written the 'shell'; similar to a kiosk application. For the upgr...
I'm trying to give users at my helpdesk the ability to view and edit Exchange ExtensionAttributes (specifically 2 and 14). Ideally, I would do this by adding a tab in the "Active Directory Users and Computers" mmc snap-in that would have the information on there. I know it's possible to add tabs - the acctinfo.dll in the resource kit do...
