You're in the
iis security
group:IIS 6.0 can't serve multiple .bat files - 404 error
iis security:
in a Virtual Directory based on user and site information. When the .asp is called, the File Scripting Object creates a .bat file based on information about the user and places it in the physical location referenced by the Virtual Directly. The .asp then creates a link to that file so the user can click on it and open the .bat file. With the move to Server 2003, IIS 6.0 is giving a 404 error when that link is referenced, and obviously it exists so it's not recognizing the extension. I'm aware that IIS 6.0 needs to know the extensions of a file before it will recognize them and that you can identify extentions in the Internet Information Services Manager by defining a new Web Service Extension, but only for a specific file. Is there any way to allow the downloading of all .bat files? Thanks, Steve Ricketts
Hi,
It looks like you have some terms confused. A web service extension allows IIS to use an application to process a file on the server (like allowing ASP, in order to have .asp files processed by the ASP compiler/server). What you want is a MIME Type setting in order to serve all .bat files In the IIS Manager, expand the computer's name, and the "Web Sites" folder, then right-click the website which you would like to allow .bat files to be served on, and select "Properties". Alternatively, you can right click on the "Web Sites" folder and select "Properties" to apply these settings to all of the websites hosted on the computer, instead of applying the settings website by website. In the Properties screen, click on the "HTTP Headers" tab. On the bottom of this property page, click the "MIME Types." button. A list of the custom MIME types set on this computer will now be displayed. On the right side of the MIME type window click the "New." button. Since you want to allow .bat sites to be served, type the extension ".bat" (without the quotes) into the first text box. In the "MIME type" text box, type "text/plain" (without the quotes) and press the "OK" button on both of the dialogs, and "Apply" on the Properties window. -- --Jonathan Maltz [Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - IIS, Virtual PC] http://www.visualwin.com - A Windows Server 2003 visual, step-by-step tutorial site :-) http://vpc.visualwin.com - Does <insert OS name> work on VPC 2004?

Outstanding!! Yeah, I have a lot of things confused, but as long as I can
find the answers as good as this I'm not complaining! Your directions did the trick and thanks a ton for responding so quickly and so well.

Hi Jonathon -
I followed your instructions and added MIME extensions for .bat, ..cmd, and .xnk. It worked for the .xnk extension. However, I still receive the same 404 error when I click on a test .cmd or .bat file. I can see the file because 'directory browsing' is on. However, when I click on the .cmd or .bat file, I'm still denied access. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I too am using Windows 2003 Server and IIS6. Thanks!

Hi Bernard - I pasted the end of the log below. I think it's '2' Let me know if I copied the wrong part of the logfile. Thanks!! sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status sc-bytes cs-bytes time-taken 404 2 1260 1830 312 10
Johnathon and Bernard -
Looks like it's working now. I went back and checked the configuration and I had added .cmd / .bat as an "application extension" (Via IIS Admin - Properties of site - Directory / Home Directory tab - Configuration - Mappings). After I removed it, my files started exectuing again. I'll let you know if I run into other questions. Johnathon - thanks for the tip on the 'friendly' error messages. I didn't know that checkbox even existed. Thanks again for your replies.
what's the sub status code of the request ? look at IIS log file

404.2 is dynamic extenstion not enabled.
404.3 is unknown mime type. why you get 404.2? are you trying to execute it ? -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.tryiis.com/ http://support.microsoft.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] <waynea@tek.com> wrote in message news:1103062853.966230.68790@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > Johnathon and Bernard - > Looks like it's working now.
