AspJPEG doesn’t work: Server object error ‘ASP 0177 : 800401f3′

After updating Persits AspJPEG to the latest version on all our Servers we got this error on one of your systems:

Server object error ‘ASP 0177 : 800401f3′

Solving this problem is pretty easy, just register your AspJPEG.dll and restart IIS:

C:\>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Persits Software\AspJpeg\Bin\AspJpeg.dll"

C:\>iisreset

C:\>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Persits Software\AspJpeg\Bin\AspJpeg.dll"

This works for other Persits Software as well.

Configuring IIS for Silverlight Applications

silverlightYou can simply add Silverlight support to your IIS6 webserver running on Windows Server 2003.

To enable IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 or IIS7 in Windows Vista RTM with the appropriate MIME Types, add:

  • .xap     application/x-silverlight-app
  • .xaml    application/xaml+xml
  • .xbap    application/x-ms-xbap

Adding MIME Types by a simple VB script:

  • Here is a VBS script you could run to enable each of these types:


Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2
'
if WScript.Arguments.Count < 2 then
WScript.Echo "Usage: " + WScript.ScriptName + " extension mimetype"
WScript.Quit
end if
'
'Get the mimemap object.
Set MimeMapObj = GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/MimeMap")
'
'Get the mappings from the MimeMap property.
aMimeMap = MimeMapObj.GetEx("MimeMap")
'
' Add a new mapping.
i = UBound(aMimeMap) + 1
Redim Preserve aMimeMap(i)
Set aMimeMap(i) = CreateObject("MimeMap")
aMimeMap(i).Extension = WScript.Arguments(0)
aMimeMap(i).MimeType = WScript.Arguments(1)
MimeMapObj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE, "MimeMap", aMimeMap
MimeMapObj.SetInfo
'
WScript.Echo "MimeMap successfully added: "
WScript.Echo " Extension: " + WScript.Arguments(0)
WScript.Echo " Type: " + WScript.Arguments(1)

  • If you copy and paste the code above into a VBS file and save it as ADDMIMETYPE.VBS the syntax to add each type would be:

ADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xap application/x-silverlight-app ADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xaml application/xaml+xmlADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xbap application/x-ms-xbap

or you could add it very simple over the IIS Manager.

How can I check the password of the IUSR and IWAM local accounts on a machine?

After a late night session doing some work on a new webserver, I found a really important blog post (windowsitpro.com) for IIS administrators. The blog post shows how you get the password of the IUSR and the IWAM local accounts form the metabase.

Normally the IUSR and IWAM password are set automatically and unknown. But if you import the metabase on another you have to change the passwords of these two users (IUSR_<local machine name> and IWAM_<local machine name>).

  • First you have to update the adsutil.vbs script (localdiskdrive:\Inetpub\AdminScripts). You have to replace all the “”IsSecureProperty = True” with “”IsSecureProperty = False” otherwise the command would not show the real password.
  • Now you can run the following commands to get the password of these users

Get the IUSR password:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/anonymoususerpass

return:

anonymoususerpass : (STRING) "password"

Get the IWAM password:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/wamuserpass

return:

wamuserpass : (STRING) "password"

  • you also can set the passwords for those accounts in the metabase

Set the IUSR password:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/anonymoususerpass "password"

Set the IWAM password:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/wamuserpass "password"

  • after you change the passwords, you should sync the password from IIS with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and component services with the following command

sync MTS:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe synciwam.vbs -v
