Can't run IIS apps as protection Medium (pooled)

External Since: Feb 22, 2004 Posts: 3

I'm running XP Pro and IE6 with all service packs and hot fixes (Windows Update has nothing more for me). I created a simple "Hello" .asp page and put it in my wwwroot. If I try to browse it as http://127.0.0.1/hello.asp I get browser message "Class does not exist". I have the same problem if I try to access IIS help. I can access a copy of the page as http://127.0.0.1/hello.htm just fine.

If I change the protection level from Medium (pooled) to low everything works fine. I have seen this exact problem documented earlier this month with a recommendation from MS to resync the password for IWAM. I saw the same resync advice in several MS online tech articles. I reset passwords for IWAM and IUSR in user mgr, reset them to match in the IIS metabase, and ran synciwam.vbs, all done successfully. However I still have the problem.

Is there another possible reason for this problem, or must I just run my apps with protection low?

Can you do the following check please?
========================================
Open the local security policy editor, by typing gpedit.msc in Start -> Run

In Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local
Policies->User Rights Assisgnment, check if IWAM account has been
granted with the 'Bypass traverse checking' right. By default, the
local Everyone group has this permission.
========================================

Also, can you remote the global.asa file that you have, and see if you get
the same error? (perhaps there's something in global.asa that's causing the
problem - that would help us locate the file that's causing your grief)

Otherwise, can you post the exact error you are seeing please?

Cheers
Ken
