decoding iis log error

Your right, 200 means not a problem, but the password change app is not
working, not sure where else to look for error.

We are using iisadmpwd and when people use this password change
functionality for some domains, the message it returns on the screen is.

Error: Object required

any ideas on where to dig?

Your error happens at the application layer. The IIS log information,
while interesting, will not be relevant since it is at the IO layer,
not application layer.

"Object required" usually implies that the code is using some property
of an object, but the object is NULL and failed to instantiate. You
are interested in why the object failed to instantiate, but that
failure is not logged anywhere because IISADMPWD does not do it.

Yes, what is logged is useless, and what needs to be logged is not.
Such is life - if we know ahead of time what is going to fail, then it
probably wouldn't fail.

I find the fact that the request took 11.265 seconds to be concerning.
Perhaps the object that failed to be created is related to the AD, and
you had some AD access issue preventing IISADMPWD from working.

Hi Jason,

The problem is most likely caused by iispwchg.dll is not registered on the
server correctly, especially on an X64 machine. Please refer to the
following articles:

894825 Troubleshoot problems with the Password Change pages that are
included in IIS
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;894825

937693 Error message when you try to use the Password Change pages that are
included with IIS 6.0 to change a domain password that is expired: "Error:
Object required"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;937693

932439 Error message when you try to use Outlook Web Access in Exchange
2007 to change an expired domain password: "Error: Object required"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;932439

Hope the info above resolves the issue.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
