good questions, the first things i tried...
> What version of IIS?
The version that is standard w/ w2k pro sp4. iis 5.0?
> When accessing the properties for the default web site or virtual
> directories are they on a remote machine or local?
local, but an attempt to connect from a remote was unsuccessful. gave a
connection error of some sort, while attempts to similar workstations gave a
different "access denied." connection to other development servers through
mmc from local were successful as they were on other machines.
> If you create a new MMC do you get the same behavior? (Start | Run | MMC |
> console | Add/Remove Snap in)
yes.
> Where there any errors during the install of IIS? Have you looked through
> the IIS setup log to see if anything failed?
no and no
> What version of Internet Explorer are you using?
6.0, totally updated. also have mozilla installed.
OTHER INFO:
tried reinstalling .net 1.1 to no avail. haven't tried uninstalling sp4. i
attached the vs.net debugger to the mmc.exe process before duping the error
and the stacktrace was 3 calls into mmcndmgr.dll....if that helps. the web
apps themselves actually work...meaning, iis responds to requests....i just
can't change any of the properties. the error is not virtual directory
specific...i've been getting the error w/out doing anything after
reinstalling iis.
thx again, i really hope to get this solved wed morning...it really sux
having to tell the boss i have to reinstall the OS because i don't know what
the F is going on.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
