I have discovered that it was a impersonation issue that did not show up until I attempted to release it from development to production. &nbsp;Code was trying to connect up to a SQL database with incorrect credentials. &nbsp;I still have other issues but the one related to this issue has been resolved. &nbsp;Thanks for your reply and I will follow your suggestion and released directly from Visual Studio to the server.<br />
thanks again,<br />

I am using Visual Studio 2010, C# and attempting to publish WEB Service to a 2008 R2 Enterprise OS. &nbsp;I created a virtual folder on the server, changed it to an application, copied the Web Service files into this virtual folder. &nbsp;I can browse to the virtual folder using IE. &nbsp;I then updated my service reference in Visual Studio to point toward the new virtual directory on the 2008 R2 server. &nbsp;When I run the application I receive a HTTP 500 error code. &nbsp;I am at a loss. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />

Publish WCF Web Service Associated with Silverlight Application

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.
