SYMPTOMS
After you install the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) debug tools, replication errors may occur in Microsoft Application Center 2000. Replication may fail and return an unsuccessful status. If you view the event for the cluster in the Application Center 2000 Microsoft Management Console (MMC), you may see an event that is similar to the following:

2/17/2004 9:21:12 AM SERVNAM 5060

Application Center

Source: Replication Session

The source file path \\?\C:\IISDebugTools\IISCHAgent.dll is a UNC path and cannot be synchronized by Application Center during session SERVNAMCluster and job SERVNAMX1077027672X311731X1171b10. Status is 0x80070057 The parameter is incorrect.

After you click View troubleshooting information for this event, you can see that the resource will not be synchronized. The remaining synchronization continues. The event viewer on the cluster controller displays the following events:

CAUSE
The IIS debug tools install an Internet Server API (ISAPI) filter under the master properties of IIS. This problem occurs because Application Center 2000 cannot resolve the path that is created for the ISAPI filter.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the Application Center 2000 MMC, and then expand Internet Information Services.
 * 2) Right-click the server name for the cluster controller, and then click Properties.
 * 3) In the WWW Service Master Properties dialog box, click Edit.
 * 4) Click the ISAPI Filters tab.
 * 5) Click IISCrashHangAgent, and then click Edit.

Note The IISCrashHangAgent filter has a red arrow that indicates that the filter is not loaded in memory because the IIS Admin Service has not yet been restarted.
 * 1) Change the executable path to C:\IISDebugTools\IISCHAgent.dll.
 * 2) Click OK three times to close the WWW Service Master Properties dialog box.
 * 3) After the change has replicated to the cluster members, restart IIS on each member so that the new changes can take effect.

Note This change limits the path length that the tools can work with, but this effect is lessened if the file paths are kept short in the Iischagent.ini file.
