Wendy/Jean: I too have had this problem. When I apply updates (SP or XPU) our many (critical) Web servers IIS service goes down. I spoke to an ISS tech about it, told him what usually happens and how critical it is that I do not disrupt IIS during business hours. He assured me that my problem was rare and some SP or other had fixed it. So I ran update while on the phone with him and, sure enough, 5 min. later I am getting calls from people about IIS being down. It happens about 75% of the time. All we have is 2003 so I don't know if it will happen with 2000.
By the way, even if it restarts the service the web server still stays down. I have to go into IIS and restart the web server itself.

I have had this happen numerous times. I have had to work this process into my change control when I apply XPU updates to our web servers.

Earlier this morning I pushed out System Scanner XPU 36 to some of our System Scanner agents. For some reason, when applying XPU 36 to servers running IIS webservers, it caused the IIS webserver to re-start. This caused a considerable outage. Could you please let me know why XPU 36 could have impacted the IIS webservers in such a way? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [email protected] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo/issforum To contact the ISSForum Moderator, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ISSForum mailing list is hosted and managed by Internet Security Systems, 6303 Barfield Road, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30328. _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [email protected] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo/issforum To contact the ISSForum Moderator, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ISSForum mailing list is hosted and managed by Internet Security Systems, 6303 Barfield Road, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30328. _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [email protected] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo/issforum To contact the ISSForum Moderator, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ISSForum mailing list is hosted and managed by Internet Security Systems, 6303 Barfield Road, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30328.
