SBS 2008 iis7 problem

You need to enable detailed error messages, because by default IIS 7 will show you something generic like you are seeing now.  You also need to disable Friendly HTTP Errors in your IE settings.

This article gives great instructions for enabling detailed errors, as well as how to use Failed Request Traces in order to pin down the exact cause of a 500 error: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/07/26/Troubleshoot-IIS7-errors-like-a-pro.aspx

If I recall Autodesk Vault Is not supported on SBS.

You need to uninstall it then run the Fix My Network wizard.

Your right it's not, I'll address that later (hopefully). I can't uninstall Autodesk, there's nothing I can see to do it. I do see a IIS 6 entry in the administrator tools but there isn't an uninstall for that either.

If you are talking about uninstalling IIS now, that would be done from Server Manager.

If I uninstall the IIS server role, does that remove IIS6 and 7 or just 7? if I do that then re install it, will it restore functionality?

DO NOT UNINSTALL IIS ON AN SBS SERVER!!!!

Autodesk should be listed in Programs and features in Control Panel?

It's not there, I believe from what the customer told me it backed out of the install after failing. This is a very new server, nothing lost if needed to re-install.

If you run the setup again does it allow you to uninstall?

Uninstalling IIS will break Exchange!

There is a repaire guide here for SBS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd430085(WS.10).aspx

No there's no option to uninstall Vault. There is a install of SQL server 2005 that I don't remember being there. could that be causing the problem?

I have gotten a more detailed error message...

http error 500.19 internal server error calling loadlibraryEx on ISAPI filter "c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\clientaccess\owa\auth\owaauth.dll" failed

any thoughts?

> Launch IIS Manager
Navigate to Server Name > Web Sites > SBS Applications >  Right click the "owa" virtual directory and select properties.
> On the Virtual Directory tab make sure that the "Application Pool" is set to MSExchangeOWAAppPool.

Then: 

> Navigate Server name > Application Pools
> Right click MSExchangeOWAAppPool and choose properties Click the Identity tab and ensure that the security account is set to Local System 

when i Right click the "owa" virtual directory, there is no properties to select....

I have found this http://forums.iis.net/t/1158191.aspx that seems to discribe what I'm having, even up till the end error but when I navigate to the same directory is says "command not recognized: cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 true"

Thanks for your help so far, I know we're close.

Is it Advanced Settings? Sorry don't have one to hand to check.

It's Manage Application > Advanced Settings

I got it, done both, yes and yes. no change though.

What now??

I have this in the application event log...

Did you make any changes to the settings in IIS?
If so run IISRESET from a command prompt.

That event log is hopefully what you have just changed.

And this. These two events are recorded everytime I try to access the site...

still the same error. :(

btw, I didn't change anything. those two settings were correct already.

Can you check all tge directories against this: http://blogs.technet.com/asksbs/archive/2008/08/12/default-settings-of-default-website-virtual-directories-under-default-website-and-companyweb-on-a-sbs-2003-server.aspx

that awesome, is there one of those for sbs 2008?

Sorry thought that was 2008!!!

Try the Fix My Network wizard: http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2008/11/26/introduction-to-the-fix-my-network-wizard-fncw.aspx

demazter, you da MAN! Tanks for your help, I'll have my wife make some cookies and send them over! ;-) on the other hand, what would be the best way to run autodesk vault now? Virtual machine of XP? any ideas?

Virtual Machine would be a good idea.

Cookies are good! :-)

Now I have another problem I thought may be related, outlook keeps asking for credentials.. owa works fine. outlook over https does not. any ideas?
