Deleted KB Article 838306 ('IIS 6.0 may stop responding wh..

That article has been removed from the public KB. According to MS, this is
because a fix is being worked on. The article will be returned to the public
KB when the fix it out of beta testing.

Now, I was told that this would be about a week away when I asked (which was
a week ago), and the article still isn't back, so I don't know what the new
ETA is. Also, a "fix" has been in the works for many months now, so I
wouldn't expect it to be out any time soon (but I do know there is one that
is undergoing beta testing).

Cheers
Ken

Thanks for the reply. I don't see why the article is removed completely whilst a fix is being tested... What about those people who are unaware of the problem at all, never mind the future availability of a fix? I have e-mailed Microsoft a few times about the article but haven't received a reply on any instance. Sounds like you have had a bit more luck than me.

We have already begun migrating our public databases to SQL Server now anyway, so I can't even see this being an issue within a month or so.

Thanks,

Hello,
As Ken mentioned this article has been taken off the web because it is
being reviewed and work is in progress on the fix However, from my
discussion with a few webdata engineers (who deal with database
connectivity issues over the web) it is a better idea to migrate from
Access to SQL if you are running IIS on Windows 2003. I will check with our
content lead on the possibility of making an informational article
available to public.

Thanks,

I think it would make sense to add some Information/KB-Article about this
issue.
We've had this Problem after switching from Win2k Server to Windows2003
WebEdition and i've spent hours searching Google, Newsgroups and Forums
'till i found out what the Problem was...

Greetings
Sandro

PS.
The Beta-Fix i got from MS-Support works perfect. No more hanging Server!

It looks like the (hot) fix for this article has eventually been posted to <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;838306." target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;838306.</a>

Shame we've already upsized all of our databases to SQL Server...
