I need to find WebsitePanel Server pool on my PC. I don't know the location of it. Can anyone appoint me to that location. I don't know is it a part of IIS or something elese. Current configuration is Win 8 with IIS 7.5 installed. Than kyou
Is this what you are looking for?
Adding a WebsitePanel server
Begin by going to Setup > Servers
Click Add New Server
In the server details box, select the server type "WebsitePanel" from
the dropdown menu.
Enter the IP/Hostname of your Enterprise server install
Enter the username and password for the account that has permissions
to create your users. The account has to be a reseller account with
permissions to create packages under the top level hosting space your
customers will be created under.
Tick SSL if you wish to connect using a SSL connection

I've got EC2 instance with IIS and mapped FSx file system on AWS. All in one VPC in one subnet.
IIS config works perfectly as long as it's configured with local drive. When I change config to use path from that mapped FSx I've got an error. Even for just a test static page.
All current users have full access to those files. Do I need to set up any special users for IIS on Domain Controller? Any special permissions? I would appreciate any ideas...
First of all, you need to figure out the substatus code of your IIS server and detailed error message. So please enable IIS detailed error message for your website.
I assume this issue happened just because your identity don't have permission to access configuration file.
1.Please Ensure your IIS site->basic settings->connect as..->set your domain account that have permission to accessyour FSX
2.Please set your application pool identity to your domain account that have access to the FSx.
3.Please grant permission for that application pool account.
4.Please set your authentication user to use application pool identity. For example, if you are using anonymous authentication. Then go to->anonymous authentication->edit..->Application pool identity.
If you don't know how to troubleshooting this issue. Prcoss monitor would help.
You only have to create a filter "RESULT=Access denied & Processname="w3wp.exe".

SOLTUION: you can not use the drive letter must be full DNS name for fsx console \DNS_NAME\share
I am having this exact issue. Drive is available on ec2 instance but authorization in IIS fails. Browse directory from IIS workd but can not get authorization to pass test. I have tried admin on EC2 and admin on active directory as users in IIS virtual drive.
It seems that you need to configure the IIS application pool identity to use a domain account that has access to the FSx file system. By default, the application pool identity is a local account that does not have any permissions on the network share.
To change the application pool identity, follow these steps:
Open IIS Manager and select the application pool that hosts your website.
Click on Advanced Settings in the Actions pane.
Under Process Model, click on Identity and then on the ellipsis (...) button.
Select Custom account and enter the domain user name and password that has access to the FSx file system. Click OK to save the changes.
Restart the application pool and the website.
Alternatively, you can use the command line tool appcmd.exe to set the application pool identity. For example, to set the identity to domain\user for the DefaultAppPool, you can run:
appcmd.exe set config /section:applicationPools /[name='DefaultAppPool'].processModel.identityType:SpecificUser /[name='DefaultAppPool'].processModel.userName:domain\user /[name='DefaultAppPool'].processModel.password:password
You can also use PowerShell to set the application pool identity. For example, to set the identity to domain\user for the DefaultAppPool, you can run:
Import-Module WebAdministration
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\DefaultAppPool -Name processModel -Value #{identityType="SpecificUser";userName="domain\user";password="password"}
For more information, see this article on how to access FSx file shares from IIS.
Usually, I give access rights to folder based on the app pool identity, in the format of:
IIS AppPool\[app_pool_name]
On this particular new server, when I try to edit the security settings of a folder, and add that particular user entry, I am getting a
"object IIS AppPool\XXXXXX cannot be found"
Any idea why is this? I verified that the application pool is set to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
I am using IIS 7.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
By default whenever you try to add a new account on a machine that joined a domain the accounts are only searched on the domain controller for your domain.
This said, if you want to add the IIS AppPool account, you need to click on "Locations..." and scroll up to the top where you'll find the name of your local machine.
Choose this as your location and you'll be able to add your AppPool account.
I have active directory installed on a Virtual Machine having OS Win Server 2012.
Now I want to configure it so that users can access it.
My IP Add is: 103.31.80.54
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
GW: 103.31.80.53
What to do??
Follow the below mentioned steps from the Server Manager on Windows 2012 Server:
Open the Notifications Pane by selecting the Notifications icon from the top of the Server Manager. From the notification regarding configuring AD DS click
Promote this server to a domain controller.
From the Deployment Configuration tab select Add a new forest from the radial options menu. Insert your root domain name into the Root domain name field. [i.e
yourdomain.com]
Review and select a Domain and Forest functional level. Once selected fill in a DSRM password in the provided password fields. The DSRM password is used when
booting the Domain Controller into recovery mode.
Review the warning on the DNS Options tab and select Next.
Confirm or enter a NetBIOS name and click Next.
Configure the location of the SYSVOL, Log files, and Database folders and click Next.
Review the configuration options and click Next.
The system will check to ensure all necessary prerequistes are installed on the system prior to moving forward. If the system passes these checks you will
proceed by clicking Install. [The server will automatically be rebooted once the installation completes]
Once the server is done rebooting reconnect via RDP. Congratulations on successfully installing and configuring a Active Directory Domain Services on Windows
Server 2012.
I have a server which runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I have admin rights and I can login through Remote Desktop Connection and access the server.
I wanted to create an account so that my office staff can access (restricted access) and only from office systems. I do not want access from any other location.
Is it possible ?
Thanks,
GR
There are several ways to lock down and secure the RDP services of a particular machine. As with most local services and GPO settings Windows is quite good at making it easy to tailor permissions based on user(s), computer(s) and by group(s).
First off I would personally add RDP permissions on a per user basis, rather than giving staff members one central login to use. There are several reasons for this, mostly down to ease of use and system security.
In the "System Properties" of the Windows Server, I assume you've ticked the box to allow a RDP connection to the server. - Just under that there's a checkbox you should tick in order to only allow connections with NLA (Network Level Authentication). Proceed to "Select Users" and choose the staff you wish to give RDP permissions too.
I'm going to assume that your RDP connection is working as you've stated that you're able to connect, we'll leave local RDP GPO settings and initial Windows Firewall configuration, please leave a comment if you'd like me to include it.
In the Windows Firewall for the server on the exceptions tab, edit the settings for Remote Desktop Connection. Click "Change Scope" and tick the box that says "My Nntwork (subnet) only".
This will only allow RDP connections from local machines within the servers subnet (office machines) and connections from the users you specified earlier on (Office staff).
As for the restricted access part, short of making a new local limited user on the server there's not much you can do to protect everything.
I hope this clears it up for you.
I have just installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and therefore IIS6 (comes as standard). I have also install the windows component that enable the administration of IIS from the browser (https://server:8098/). The problem I have is that I have to log-in to this tool but the Server Administrator u/name and p/word does not let me in.
The Windows documentation on this tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324282) says "You are prompted for a user name and password that exist on the Web Server" but none of the standard user acounts on the server let me in.
Thanks,
Here are a couple ideas:
Take a look at the security log on the server for clues.
Look at the "Directory Security" tab on the properties of the admin site and ensure "Enable anonymous access" is unchecked. You will need to use "Integrated Windows authentication" or "Basic authentication". If you use Basic auth then the password is sent across then network base64 encoded - you will want to use SSL to encrypt it.
Is there a specific requirement to use the web tools? You can download Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager for Windows XP from Microsoft and run it from a client.
I'm not so sure now, haven't set up a Win 2003 box in a while but as far as I remember you have to activate remote desktop first and then you can use a RDP client to access the server. I recommend that over the ActiveX RDP client.
Is the server part of a domain? It may be defaulting to a domain username/password combo rather than a local username/password.
Try "server.domain.local\administrator" or "administrator#server.domain.local".
I would check the permissions on that site in IIS - make sure you are using an account that is a member of a group specifically assigned permissions. I understand that the builtin admin account is not working but its possible the site permissions have changed removing that account or group. - hope that makes some sort of sense
This might be unlikely, but are you trying to use a username that has a blank password? Windows restricts remote access when using those accounts.
If that's the case, you can check the Group Policy (gpedit.msc for local computer, or the one for domains if it's in a domain.):
Computer Configuration
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only
