Siteminder webagent on Windows 2008 x64

For Windows 2008 R1 x64, the 64bit version of Siteminder Webagent does not work very well incase you want to protect apps with ASP.NET 1.1. I wasted too much time trouble shooting this and websites with ASP.NET 2.0 would work without any issue.

Siteminder ISAPI6webagent.DLL would not fire for ASP.NET 1.1 applications.


As a test, I installed Siteminder x32 bit Webagent on the 64bit server, the issue was resolved. ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 applications both worked.

Webagent used is available for download here.

Error 1606

Just got this error while I was trying to install a software on Windows 2008 x64 bit Server, and got the below error

"Error 1606. Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\"

How to fix this?

modify both locations in registry using regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot

modify appropriately
"%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" to "D:\inetpub\wwwroot".

MOSS 2007 Install

- download moss2k7 iso file from msdn
- install .net 3
- get all security updates from msft site

Allow the ISO file on the host system to be read into the guest OS. This way we need not copy it over or write the iso file into a DVD. It is actually faster.

Also Virtual PC is not supported on Vista Home premium (per microsoft). I did not have any issues till now.

MOSS install was pretty fast..trying to read the config book and understand it.
