Yesterday, I was getting "HTTP code 503" on one of my DP's so I was comparing
the IIS configuration between the bad server and one of my working DP's. I used
the Notepad++ compare plugin to look at the differences in the
applicationHost.config file and there are quite a few. Is there anything in the
applicationHost.config file that is proprietary to one server? I was thinking
about just copying over the .config file from the good server to the bad server
(both 2008 R2) and then restarting IIS. As far as SCCM, the installation
directories, shares, IIS site name, etc are set up exactly the same so it
shouldn't break anything with that. It's just the individual settings that are
different (ie: webdav). However, I saw two lines (example below) that look like
they had encrypted strings so before I tried this, I figured I'd ask the
community. I'll hold on to the "bad" .config file just in case.
<add name="AesProvider"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationHost.AesProtectedConfigurationProvider"
description="Uses an AES session key to encrypt and decrypt"
keyContainerName="iisConfigurationKey" cspProviderName="" useOAEP="false"
useMachineContainer="true"
sessionKey="AQIAAA5mAAAApAAAKumojp4crMVhmhovXw0DMpCIUUnczwvaW5EF+ay8bGUUX5ImJHxLwWoPcu4R/U21/hE3nqe4JCMu0W7s7Q1o17taW/gPxF2TF9HVUsIHA+nWY0heTDL5np3MZapW3cg6kHRapbNXFcbLXIrFxCvZrMC8BVn0j6nxHxbrGFs+Cog="
/>
Will this work?
Thanks,
James
