EV9 on Win2008 R2 with IIS7

[alfredmjNZ]

Has anyone else seen this issue:

I have a standard EV9 installation on WIN2k8 using IIS7.

Standard archiving works fine, http connection to webpage works fine, so IIS (7) is running.

Problem 1:  IIS Manager in MMS EVconsole snap-in fails to connect to IIS:  "There was an error when trying to connect.."

                      The configuration section "ModuleProviders" cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration. 

When running inetMGR from the command line, it works fine.

Problem 2:  The usage.asp script works fine when run as the EV service account on localhost.

                      But fails with "access denied" when run remotely.  Windows firewall is OFF.

Any ideas?

1: It's because the vault.msc is running mmc in 32 bit mode but I guess the IIS snapin require 64bit mode.

You get the same error if you just launch mmc with, mmc -32

2: I've seen the same before, I think I read some explanation but can't remember what it was, you can get around the issue temporarely (unless you want to stick to basic authentication) by following this tech note:

there's also this TN that I wrote agggeeesss ago, which is a bit neater and keeps security intact http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH50913 - worth testing on a lab install first just to make sure it's what you expect :)

Thanks.

I will try the above solutions in the lab and get back to you.
