Bit of a head scratcher and I'm stumped on this. Client has been using Incoming Email with SharePoint 2010 for years without issue. Now though emails are not being processed by the SMTP Service and all that happens is a bounceback is generated in the queue folder as below:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

testlib1@esp2010.domain.local

Some further information is in an attached text file:

Reporting-MTA: dns;ESP2010.DOMAIN.INTERNAL
Received-From-MTA: dns;EEX2010-CAS.DOMAIN.INTERNAL
Arrival-Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 13:45:42 +1100

Final-Recipient: rfc822;testlib1@esp2010.domain.local
Action: failed
Status: 5.4.0

5.4.0 appears a DNS error but I have confirmed that A records for the SP server still exists and when I check DNS in the SMTP settings it confirms DNS is OK.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the SMTP role as per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287879(v=office.14).aspx and other blogs on the steps and cannot find anywhere I am getting anything incorrect - I am merely using the single SP servers FQDN as the mail server name in all fields and the required A record for it exists.

I have enabled all SMTP logging and checked these logs and doesn't really give me anything, but just in case here is that output:

I have also found below in the System Log which is obviously relevant but again can't figure this one out:

Message delivery to the remote domain 'esp2010.domain.local' failed for the following reason: Destination server does not exist.

I'm trying to launch my web application through my browser but it never loads.  The title of the tab shows the loading wheel and says "Waiting on ServerName".  When I browse to the application on my server through IIS the application will load.  When I run the application through Visual Studio it will also load.  Due to that I'm labeling IIS as the problem.  However I'm not sure where to look in IIS to fix this especially due to the fact no one has changed anything in IIS.  So how would a problem like this even start?

Hi, I've been running PopCon to retrieve Pop3 e-mail and transfer these to an SBS2008 server running exchange 2007 for the past few years without issue. Recently PoPCon reported an error connecting to the exchange server stating it could not open a connection to host on port 25. I've disabled the AV on the server and also the firewall just in case port 25 was being blocked. I get the same error if I telnet via a command prompt directly on the server to either the server name or the IP Address and port 25. e.g. telnet servername 25. All I get is "Could not open connection to host on Port 25, connection failed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I suspect about time taken in request summary, it shown as 8859 msec as below url

but for the tab Request detail > performance view with sort duration, it shown only 16 ms as a below figure

Why it very different ?

Running IIS 10.0.14393.0 on Windows 10E

When I try to search configuration on the server note I get the error:

"There was an error while performing this operation."

Details:

The system cannot find the path specified.  (Exception from HRESULT: 0x90070003)"

Everything works besides this.  All my websites are working. 

Any ideas?

We are experiencing this "Service Unavailable" error in our Joomla 3.5 website.

The error will appear when we have 500 or more current online users. 

Before it will appear, when browsing the website we noticed that it is very slow to load.

Current setup that might help:

Server has 16 virtual core and 12gb of memory and the php fastcgi maxintances are 8

Is there any settings that we need to tweak to cater high volume users?

Below is the processes

Please excuse my frustration in this first and foremost as I download and decided to try this server out because I was told that it was very easy to use. However I have had more trouble with this POS than I did with my bipolar and mental deranged ex wife. All jokes aside I have been going through forum after forum site after site and the only consistent things that I have found are .... any developer on youtube NEVER gives you the short answer and you always have to sit through a 8 min video with shitty elevator music to type something that could have been said in a single sentence... I dont really care or need all the nonsense extra things that I am not going to use. All i need to know are the steps that need to do in order to Verify the path to a file or folder.... I was Army Infantry for many years and I believe in KISS ... Keeo It Simple Stupid in short terms just tell me what I need to know and quit trying to show off how much more you know than me. Ok you know more big whoop I started learning just this year..

So can someone please for the sake of my sanity please give me and idea of what I might need to check before I give up on IIS-POS and switch to one that ACTUALLY IS EASY TO USE. As in ....

`1. Check this for this

2. Blaah, blah balh

3, Go here and do this... etc....

PLEASE HELP Thank You in advance

Hi All,

I am currently having an issues with my IIS. The recycling is set to be performed at 04:05:00. Unfortunately it is being performed twice. 

According to Event viewer following happes:

04:04:58 - A worker process with process id of '298616' serving application pool 'MyAppPool' has requested a recycle because it reached its scheduled recycle time.

04:05:00 - A worker process with process id of '13332' serving application pool 'MyAppPool' has requested a recycle because it reached its scheduled recycle time.

This problem does not occur every day, but several times a week causing us some troubles.  I was not able figure out why it recycles before its scheduled to do so, it is always 1-2 secs before the specified time.

disallowOverlappingRotation (Disable Overlapped Recycle) is set to False.

Is there a known bug or solution for this problem?

thx & BR

I have an application that is running on Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5.  About 3 weeks ago the application failed with an HTTP 503 error.  Investigation in the event log showed an IIS-W3SVC-WP error with event code 2281 and error of 8007005 which according to the err tool is for 'Access Denied'.  The logs stopped being created at the same time so I don't have any logs to review so I have no idea what it's trying to access.

I've tried changing passwords and then resetting everything that used that UID.  The application pool starts but as soon as I try to hit the URL I get an HTTP 503 error and the event log entry with the application pool stopped.  I've looked at everything I can think of to ensure that the IIS_IUSRS group was a member with read, execute permissions.

I tried to change the account the application pool was running under from a domain account to the ApplicationPool Identity without success so I changed it back to the domain account/pwd.

Hi Team,

Certain pages of my My ap.net web application are loading slowly. The pages load after 30 to 40 secs only. So I have enabled FREB to capture the Delay. I have analysed the Freb logs and I see that the Maximum Delay happens between  'HANDLER_CHANGED' and 'NOTIFY_MODULE_START'

Most of the Freb log shows ModuleName="HttpCacheModule", at the Notify_module_start.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

we are running an IIS 7.x website, secured by ISAPI WebKnight and needing to authenticate via Active Directory-based Client Certificate.

Since short we are facing 401.5 for only one client with method POST.

'Request Failure Tracing' identifies the 'WebKnight.32bit.dll' being the culprit and says:

ModuleName: IsapiModule
Notification:128
HttpStatus: 401
HttpReason: Unauthorized
HttpSubStatus: 5
ErrorCode: 0

ConfigExceptionInfo
Notification: EXECUTE_REQUEST_HANDLER
ErrorCode: The operation completed successfully. (0x0)

When authenticating on our own with the Client Certificate via browser, everything works.

So it us not clear to us, what the error (in detail) is. Please assist.

Hi,

So, I've been experiencing a rather strange issue with PowerShell and IIS for some time now. After searching the web for answers and finding none, I came up with a work-around that resolved the issue for the time being. However, we're beginning to look into PowerShell DSC, and we're running into the same issue as we were previously. Please keep in mind, while this issue is currently impeding our test with DSC, the issue appears to be with PowerShell and our Windows 2012 R2 servers, not specifically DSC.

Situation:

We currently have an automated process (a bunch of PowerShell, basically) that configures our applications and deploys them for us - including web applications hosted in IIS. One some servers (consistently the same ones, though), the following command can take anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to execute:

Get-ChildItem IIS:\AppPools | ? {$_.Name -eq "Some-Application-Pool-Name"}

More recently, I've found that PowerShell DSC using the xWebAdministration module takes roughly 120-125 seconds to configure an Application Pool. It appears to get stuck here:

    # XPath -Filter is case-sensitive. Use Where-Object to get the target application pool by name.
    $appPool = Get-WebConfiguration -Filter '/system.applicationHost/applicationPools/add' |
        Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.name -eq $Name}

I don't see this problem on all of our servers, but in this particular case with testing PowerShell DSC, the two servers I'm comparing are identical (literally the same VM template). The only difference now is one is acting as our pull server while the other is acting as a node to be configured. Yet, one shows the behavior while the other does not. I've tried multiple methods by which to 'get' all Application Pools or a specific one, but they all take 2 minutes or more to execute. It will 'get' the first few default Application Pools, but then gets stuck when 'getting' the ones we made.

I monitored this situation using ProcMon once. The only difference I noticed was the PowerShell sessions on servers showing this behavior would reach into the registry twice, while the other PowerShell sessions on servers not showing this behavior would only do so once. I have no explanation as to why, and it didn't seem to take a significant amount of time.

I've seen the issue disappear once and once only. After running a DSC configuration, I manually changed the security settings of the Application Pool:

1) Changed the Application Pool Identity to the default ("ApplicationPoolIdentity").

2) Applied the change.

3) Went back and changed the Application Pool Identity to 'Custom Account'.

4) Entered the service account credentials in manually.

Once I noticed this, I then removed the website and corresponding Application Pool and attempted to run the DSC configuration once more. And once more, it took 120-125 seconds to execute. Has anyone noticed this issue before? This has created a serious obstacle to our attempts to further automate our server and application configurations.

I'm software developer and these days we developed a new version of an online application, which we are hosting in an Amazon's datacenter. Our last versions works just fine, but we noticed that the new one is getting it's session expired very quickly.

In local tests, the session keeps working fine and don't get expired but in the moment that we launch it on the official server, it keeps expiring the session.

In local session we have tested it in 2 persons, but when published, there are some clients that use it, so it is hard for us to tell what is the operation that they are executing to expire the session.

There is some way that I can track the last user actions in IIS before it expires or some application that keeps monitoring the sessions? I need some way to find out what's going on, but I don't know from where to start.

Could you help me?

Hello,

this morning I configured an IIS webserver as a reverse proxy with rewrite 2.0 for java application "BlueAnt" running at apache tomcat.

It works fine, except that some URLs are not forwarded by reverse proxy.

https://blueant.mydomain.tld/blueant//psap/Aktuelle+Ansicht.csvfor example comes with IIS 404 error page. It seems like non-html requests like file-downloads are not forwarded by rewrite module.

Is there any hint how to fix this.

I'm running IIS on Win Server 2012 R2.

Thanks for yor help :-)

Hi everyone,

We are experiencing an issue with the health check while using ARR.

It starts with a crashed w3wp process. After this crash one out of four pools is stopped. Now I would expect the health check for this pool to switch to unhealthy so that new requests wouldn't lead to the stopped pool. At first it does, but a few seconds later it automatically switches back to healthy while the pool still stays stopped. Again a few seconds later it is unhealthy and then healthy, and then unhealthy, and then healthy... you get it. Caused by the not working health check users sometimes are led to the stopped pool and get the HTTP 503 "Service Unavailable" error.

This keeps going until I start the stopped pool manually. Then everything is fine again. Until next time a pool will be stopped due to a crashed w3wp process. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this issue. It occurred two times within the last three months.

I'm aware we have got two problems here: the crashing w3wp process and the health check constantly switching between healthy and unhealthy.
In this thread I would like to analyse the health check problem so that it could fulfil its purpose to move requests correctly when a pool doesn't work. The crashing processes will be analysed separately.

So what is the right procedure to catch the error? Which information do we need?

I really appreciate your help.

Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot a 302 redirect error, and can't seem to get the HTTP response to show up in a FRT log, or even a more general IIS trace log.

What happens: I point my browser to a URL:

test.example.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.001)

but it ends up at:

test2.example.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.002)

Even though there are no URL rewrites or HTTP redirects defined for .001 in IIS.

Using Netmon, I can look at the HTTP packet being sent - and it says my GET request to .001 receives an HTTP 302 redirect response from the server.

I have turned on FRT for the site at .001 in IIS, and defined a rule for all providers, status codes 200-499.

However, when I go to the site in my browser, no log file is created by FRT.

I then used logman.exe to generate an .etl log file for

"IIS: WWW Server" 0xFFFFFFFE 5

I cleared my client cache, turned on logging in logman, sent requests to the page, and then stopped logman.

I used Log Parser to look at the contents of the log file, but it doesn't include any references to the requested URL name, the .001 IP, or anything about HTTP 302 redirects at all.

The only other IIS logs that I can find are just in the inetpub/logs/LogFiles directory - none of the log files with date modifieds from today contain any references to my request either.

Am I doing something obviously wrong to create the FRT log? Is there any other way to do an IIS trace to figure out why my request is being routed as it is?

Thanks,

aaron

We have single parent domain for which we have wildcard SSL . 

There are two sub domains on server which are using same wildcard
SSL as well as same IP in binding.

Now, I have couple of questions in this regards

1. In case of wildcard certificate expiry, if we renew the
certificate then will it reflect on all domains and subdomains
automatically ?

2. Is it recommended to use SNI feature if we have only one wildcard
SSL and few sub domains on particular server ?

3. What would be the best practices for using SNI feature ? When to
use and when not to use.

Thanks.
