Running IIS State on Production Machine Hosted Externally

Hi

I am having a problem where by visitors to our website are failing to
receive all of the resulting HTML from a number of different ASPs. This
problem is intermittent and the amount of HTML delivered, (as seen in view
source), varies for the same page for different requests.

I was advised to install and run IIS State but of course this problem is
occurring on a server hosted with an ISP and I only have Terminal Services
access to it. I set up a scheduled task to run but it kept failing. So
despite being told that it didn't run under T/S, I ran it and up popped a MS
License Agreement Dialog. This may explain why it failed to run as a S/T.
Is this license agreement for the symbols or something? Is this a new thing
since the IISState documentation for running under T/S or have I done
something wrong?

I am not looking for a soft crash or hard crash, just some information that
may help someone ascertain why my pages are randomly not being fully
delivered to the client. This is the command I used: iistate.exe -p 1104 -d

Then, the program appeared to hang so I hit Ctrl+C which was successful
although the webservice was hung/paused and could not be controlled using
net stop/start. How long should IISState take to execute?

Have had to reboot the server which is not good as we have about 50
concurrent users most of the time.

1) The reason it wouldn't run through terminal services was that the
underlying OS Debug API's didn't allow it. These have been changed, so for
some machines it will, some (not fully up to date) it won't.
2) The license dialogue is for the downloading of symbols from Microsoft.com
which are needed for the analysis engine. IISState will hang until you
click OK or Cancel on the dialogue.
3) When IISState runs the first time, it must download quite a few symbols.
This can take a while. Check the \symbols directory found in the IISState
directory and see if there were any symbols downloaded. After they are
downloaded, IISState will use the local copies to speed things along.

You did use the correct command line.
