The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Why am I getting a "Cannot write configuration file" error when trying to disable Compression on a website in IIS Manager?

Asked by svargas in Exchange Email Server, Windows Server 2008, Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: Exchange, Exchange 2007, IIS, Compression, Windows Server 2008 R2

I installed Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 on a Server 2008 R2 on a virtual machine. The domain controller is hosted on another VM. Databases and Logs are all kept on separate drives. When I access the Exchange Management Console I get the following warning:

--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Warning
--------------------------------------------------------
The following warning(s) were reported while loading topology information:

Get-OWAVirtualDirectory
Completed

Warning:
The virtual directory "Exchange (Default Web Site)" is not configured correctly. This server has the Mailbox server role installed, so HTTP compression must be disabled. You can use the IIS Manager to disable compression.

Warning:
The virtual directory "Public (Default Web Site)" is not configured correctly. This server has the Mailbox server role installed, so HTTP compression must be disabled. You can use the IIS Manager to disable compression.

Warning:
The virtual directory "Exchweb (Default Web Site)" is not configured correctly. This server has the Mailbox server role installed, so HTTP compression must be disabled. You can use the IIS Manager to disable compression.


--------------------------------------------------------
OK
--------------------------------------------------------
 So I accessed the IIS Manager and tried to disable static compression on all three of the listed sites. When ever I try to hit 'Apply' I get the following error window:

Title: Compression
There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:
Filename: \\?\BackOfficeStorage\[mydomain]\MBX\web.config
Error: Cannot write configuration file.

All I can do at this window is hit OK, and exiting discards changes.

What causes this error window to appear, and how can I fix this where Exchange no longer has any warnings?
