The Problem:

An AD Site aware web application must obtain information from an AD controller within the same AD site as the the web application. 

We have this working in a development environment using IIS 7.5 and a production environment using IIS 7.5 BUT ONLY if the Application Pool is using NetworkServices account; when using ApplicationPoolIdentity, the application ceases to function properly as it is unable to obtain information about the AD site in which the web server resides. Specifically:

System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DirectoryServices.GetComputerSite().Name

fails when using ApplicationPoolIdentity with error ActiveDirectoryObjectNotFoundException.

Using NetworkServices account is not the preferred direction given changes in IIS7.0 and 7.5 having the ApplicationPool be setup to use ApplicationPoolIdentity; so we're looking for what needs to be done to allow us to use ApplicationPoolIdentity vs NetworkServices.

Environment

Webapplication using IIS 7.5 in an AD Domain within a specific AD site using ASP.net

There are three sites within the domain, lets call them: A, B, C.  The server hosting the web application is in Site A.   We use GetcomputerSite().Name to return the site and use that name to limit the list of controllers which information is requested from.  

Research:

We verified our web server was in the AD site expected by checking the registry keys mentioned in this stackoverflow article

More research lead us to a technet article describing a similar issue. We utilized the powershell script mentioned to see what would happen from our web server:

[System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectorySite]::GetComputerSite()

It returned servers and the list of 8 controllers we expected to find; along with the proper site name; same as in the registry key.

So this led us to permissions (and that's why it's posted here) differences between the default application pool NetworkServices vs ApplicationPoolIdentity. As we knew at this point the web server could see the site and servers... so why couldn't the web application?

We switched the Application Pool from ApplicationPoolIdentity to NetworkServices and everything started working.  We switched it back to ApplicationPoolIdentity and it stopped working.  This appears to conflict with the statement made in this article that,"application pool identities also use the machine account to access network resources. No changes are required."

Expected Results:

We expected using an application pool set to use ApplicationPoolIdentity that the GetcomputerSite().Name would return the AD site of the web server on which the application was hosted.  Instead it threw an error that so far we've not been able to work around. So...

The Question(s):

• Is there a better method to get a handle to an active/responsive controller within the servers' site and gain access to the user department information?

• What permissions would need to be added to ApplicationPoolIdentity to allow this application access to AD Services?

Hi,

Is there a replacement for Expressions Encoder Pro SDK. We are looking at completely shifting from Adobe and Apple technology to Microsoft. And IIS Media Services / Silverlight seems to fit our needs perfectly.

Expressions Encoder Pro SDK, has all the functions we need for the custom live encoder app we need. It's looks perfect for us. To capture a live source and push to a Smooth Streaming publishing point on iss with media services. However, we need the features in the pro version, and this is no longer available. I've searched, but can't seem to find any definitive information for non cloud development. I'm sure it's a case temporary blindness. 

What current Microsoft technology( SDK/API) is recommended for new designs, for encoding from a live capture device source and pushing to an iis publishing point, using smooth streaming?

Thank you,

Finis

Due to SHA1 deprecation, we have ordered SHA256 replacement certificates for Exchange 2010 OWA and SharePoint.  

We successfully installed the certificates and when we look at the certificate through the browser, everything looks fine.

However,  SSLLABS.com says an "additional" SHA1 intermediate is still available and may cause browser warnings.

I tried to uninstall it from the MMC, but when I did it broke the certificate chain and I had to reinstall it.

What are the correct steps to remove the old SHA1 Intermediate and make sure the SHA256 intermediate is still properly applied on IIS for Server 2008 and 2008 R2?

I am trying to setup a web application in IIS on Windows Server 2008 R2.  I create the web app, WebApp1, and I create a new application pool, WebAppPool1.  I go into Authentication and disable Anonymous and enable Windows Authentication.  At this point, users get a logon prompt when they go to the URL, and they enter their credentials, and are re-prompted and never let in.

Do I need to give NTFS permissions on the physical folder to the application pool user or the end user accounts?  Or neither?  Does the application pool need to run as ApplicationPoolIdentity?  Or something else?  Do I need to modify .NET authorizations?

I've tried all these things and combinations of these things, but I can't get this resolved.  If I change the application pool to use NETWORKService instead of ApplicationPoolIdentity, then things seem to work.  But I want it to run as the ApplicationPoolIdentity (unless this is not the correct way to do this).

Hi;

I'm a complete novice at IIS, and I'm having difficulties in
setting up a new site to run on localhost.

Configuration is as follows:
Windows 8.1, 64-bit
.NET 4.0.30319
Internet Information Services 8.5.9600.16384

In IIS manager, I right-click on "Sites", then select "Add New Website ...".

In "Site name" I enter "asite".
In "Physical Path" I enter "C:\inetpub\wwwroot".
In "Host name" I enter "asite.com"
I then click "OK".

I then want to add the folder that contains my .aspx files
(and the bin with my DLLs).

In IIS manager, I right-click on "asite", then select "Add Application".
For "alias" I enter "appstuff".
I give the physical path to the folder that contains the folder for my app.
(It is on a different logical drive than C:.)

I've tried entering each of the following in the address bar of my browser:
http://asite.com/theapp.aspx
http://asite.com/appstuff/theapp.aspx

I get the dreaded 404 error for both.

I ping asite.com and get a response.

Can someone give this poor fool a clue as to what I am missing?

(Keep it simple please.)

Thanks!

Hi, 

I'm using windows 7 and IIS 7.5. I have designed application using VS 2013 and MVC 5. I published my application in my local IIS (Ver 7.5) and I made entry in host file aswww.test.com and made entry in binding also. Now I can able to access my site aswww.test.com through browser.   Now  I need to access my web site using various sub domain likewww.a.test.com or www.b.test.com orwww.c.test.com or www.xyz.test.com.  All sub-domains can be a dynamic. 

Here, How I can set wildcard for my domain. I have installed URL Rewrite module 2.0 also in my IIS.

Please suggest a way to solve the issue.

Is it possible, at a high level, to limit any redirects that an ASP.NET (3.5) app may do to only be to the same app's domain?  In other words, is someone was to fiddle something in the front end, which the app would then use to redirect somewhere, that it would be stopped if it was outside the app's domain?

Dear WebDeployers,

I am getting this error using the Web Deploy Wizard in Visual Studio Ultimate 2013.

Note that "ClancyCom2"  is the name of the application pool on the remote machine  which is being used by the destination web site. I believe that is what I should be granting folder permission to on the remote machine.  I have set up a ClancyCom2.wpp.targets file to configure the setting of permissions on that remote machine. 

Here is the error:

Error 22 Web deployment task failed. ((10/30/2014 5:36:20 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.)

(10/30/2014 5:36:20 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.The account 'ClancyCom2' does not appear to be valid. The account was obtained from this location: 'setAclAccess'. Some or all identity references could not be translated.    at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(IdentityReferenceCollection sourceAccounts, Type targetType, Boolean forceSuccess)    at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(Type targetType)    at Microsoft.Web.Deployment.Impersonator.GetNTAccount(String userName, String source)  0 0 ClancyCom2

There is a similar error in the event log of the remote server.

Strangely I had this working and I do not know what I have changed.

I do not understand why it thinks that 'ClancyCom2' is not a valid account ? Should an Application Pool be viewed as a "valid account" ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Terry Clancy

I have created a WCF web service and when i execute it from the Visual Studio it works fine, but when I deploy it and run it from the IIS, the web service methods don't seem to work, it just returns a blank page, not error not nothing. I think the problem maybe with the config file. Please see my config file:

<system.serviceModel><services><service name="MyWebService.MyService" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour"><endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding"
          contract="MyWebService.IMyService" behaviorConfiguration="web" /><endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding"
          contract="IMetadataExchange" /></service></services><behaviors><serviceBehaviors><behavior name="ServiceBehaviour"><serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /><serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" /></behavior><behavior><serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /></behavior></serviceBehaviors><endpointBehaviors><behavior name="web"><webHttp /></behavior></endpointBehaviors></behaviors><protocolMapping><add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" /></protocolMapping><serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" /></system.serviceModel><system.webServer><modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/><directoryBrowse enabled="true"/></system.webServer>

Am I missing something on the config file?

By the way, I am using Visual Studio 2013, C#, IIS7

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey guys,

i run a node.js server on port 3000 on a windows server using IISS. Now i want to redirect all request to my www.mywebsite.de to the https://www.mywebsite.de:3000. I did this using the url rewrite module. Additionally i want to hide the port in the url shown to the user. I googled it and found out that this should be possible with the Application Request routing module, but did not find a detailed article how to do this in combination with https redirect. I very new to configuring web servers so it would be nice if you could help me out :)

best regards Peter

When someone access FTP site from IE, they get a webpage that is headed with a generic message:

 "FTP root at xyz.com

 To view this FTP site in File Explorer: press Alt, click View, and then clickOpen FTP Site in File Explorer."

followed by our defined text and the document view.

Is there anyway to edit the bit at the top adding other instructions or graphics etc?

Hello,

I successfully uninstalled Exchange 2010 (Client Access Role) from a webserver that hosts a company website and some other web apps, as a last step on a migration to 2013. But after that, some application pools were not started automatically, resulting on a 503 error even after starting the app pools manually.

I was getting IIS event Id 5139.

Fortunately it is a hyper-v server so I applied a snapshot I created prior to uninstalling exchange and got it working again. I need to know what happened before doing it again.

I would like to know about similar scenarios and how did you fix it.

thanks in advance.

Hello,

Does anybody know why it is not possible to run php code in a newly created html page? I tried the following inside an html template:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Index-Seite</title>
</head>
<body>
    <?php
          echo "My first PHP script!";
    ?>
</body>
</html>

But opening the browser with the "run" button gives me a blank page.

If I do the same inside a php template, the content is shown correctly in the browser.

Does this mean, that it's not possible to create html sites with php code inside?

Any idea?

Regards, Peter

Hi, I am completely new to the world of IIS 8 so please bear with me.  I have a page and trying to upload files up to a size of 50 MB.  I get the following error: "The page was not displayed because the request entity is too large."  I did some Googling and discovered that I need to set the uploadReadAheadSize.  

The problem is that I'm not quite sure how to do that because I don't where settings files are located or where I do anything in IIS so after much head banging, I navigated to: 

C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv 

And ran the following command in command line:

appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webserver/serverruntime /uploadreadaheadsize:50000 /commit:apphost

I got the message: 

"Applied configuration changes to section "system.webServer/serverRuntime" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"

Okay...I figured it was done and tried the upload again but unfortunately, that didn't work for me so now I am unsure what to do.  If anyone wouldn't mind walking me through exactly where the settings files are that I need to edit would be great.  I am running IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Hi all, I'm having a problem with an HTTP POST and I discovered that GoDaddy disabled SSL 3.0 after the POODLE exploit came to light.  This was working in production, and now only works in Visual Studio.  This tells me I have a configuration issue with the server.  We're running .NET 4.0 and I've enabled TLS 1.0, rebooted the IIS 7 server and updated the c# code which I've copied below.  I've pasted the error at the bottom.  I'm new to these forums, so hopefully I've posted this in the right place.  Any help would be great!
