Suffered on this one for 3 weeks with a MS Support Tech and he finally found this article. Spread the word cause it is very hard to pin down what's going on because there are very few clues in the event logs as to what's causing the issue. I was restarting the WWW Service for those 3 weeks and that seemed to help most of the time for a few hours at least.

SBS Blog - Thanks for the indirect help.

Had this problem on both a from-scratch install at a client site, and on my company's own SBS2008 system that was a migration install from 2003.

Frustrating issue to say the least. Thanks for the post.

Is it safe to remove this regardless? I am having something similar that seems to occur every 6 to 7 days with a low traffic site. RPC / HTTPS stops for external users. We have a bought cert with mail as the prefix and use Trend and Sunbelt Ninja if this helps at all. Local to Redmond if anybody wants to see it live.

Thx,

Matt

Owie, hoping this is it as my experience is a very small business with only 2 rpc / https external clients. Is a 3rd party combo spam/AV assisting?

Trying to close the gap before it close on me MSFT?

Thanks,

Matt

Hello all.

First SBS 2008 fresh install. All seemed to go well. Purchased a GoDaddy cert, currently no AV or 3rd party SPAM filter app or external service.

Internally Outlook Anywhere works. I currently testing from the outside with no success. I have made both modifications and I am still not having any luck.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be nice.

Thanks - this also seems to have cleared up an issue with the Vista Sidebar Gadget getting runtime errors.

Script the solution

mark-d-maclachlan — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:25:54 GMT

I wrote the following VBScript code to easily set the registry values for the new solution:

Path = "HKLM\Microsoft\ASP.NET\2.0.50727.0\"

Key = "MaxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU"

Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")

WshShell.RegWrite Path & Key,"5000","REG_DWORD"

But I am having a great deal of difficulty finding sample code to use VBScript to remove an IIS module. Can you guys help? I want to be able to leverage remote management tools to script this so I don't have to log into all my SBS Customer's servers. Thanks.

hello Mark Maclachan,

I dont know if this helps its not vbscript but you can simply add this into a batch file to remove the IIS module.

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete module HTTPtoHTTPSredir /app.name:"SBS Web Applications/rpc"

Outlook is Slooooow to Connect to SBS2008

It sits there with “connecting” down in the status bar on the bottom right of the Outlook window.
