Why did IIS ApplicationHost.config file disappear?
Hello, Currently, I am operating two cloud-based instances of Windows Server 2012 and 2016. In IIS, when I try to add a binding or modify the application pool, the changes are not saved, and I encounter the following error: C:/Windows/system32/inetsrv/config/applicationHost.config Error: Cannot write to the configuration file. When I navigate to the specified path, the applicationHost.config file does not exist. Additionally, for the Windows Server 2016 instance, there are no backup files available in C:\inetpub\history\. Would anyone be able to provide insights into the possible cause of this issue or suggest a solution? Thank you in advance for your help.
Applications settings lost when publish website (Windows Server 2022 IIS)
Hi everyone, I've set up a Windows Server 2022 to host multiple websites. However, every time I publish a new website via FTP using Visual Studio, the application settings configured on the site disappear. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in my setup. Should I be configuring the sites differently, or is there a way to prevent these settings from being reset during deployment? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Server 2022 IIS install not creating Registry keys in InetStp\Components
Hi I'm hoping someone can help or has run into this before, I've got a production server we installed IIS on as part of a VEEAM ONE install but the installer failed as it complains its missing several IIS components. When checking the Server Manager I can see the components are installed so as a work around VEEAM gave me an installer that didn't check for the components which then fails to register a website and still rolls back. On further investigation the Veeam tech asked me to check for several registry entries see image: When checking the servers registry all of them are missing and the folder has permissions to only allow the Trusted Installer to make changes (Default behaviour I assume). I have run both an SFC and DISM then uninstalled/reinstalled IIS but with the same result. Oddly when I open the IIS manager it looks to be running ok but yet these keys are missing? Can someone please advise on possible fixes or is this expected and something that Veeam need to change??
Is there a way to set different TLS cipher suites as server and as client separately?
Hi, I have an ASP .Net app hosted on IIS, Windows Server. The app needs to call external web APIs. For the app, I would like to set only a few secure TLS cipher suites as a server, but the app needs to use other (not so secure) cipher suites as a client for the external APIs. TLS Cipher Suite Order configuration works for both of server and client. Is there a way to set different TLS cipher suites as server and as client separately?
IIS strange NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON with Chrome browsers
I need some help troubleshooting why, when using a Chrome browser user gets error Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' while using an Edge browser users do not. I have multiple web application hosted on that server, all intranet based using windows authentication with impersonation. Another strange observation, when Chrome users connect to the web app they receive this error, now if they open same site in Edge, they authenticate just fine and then on refreshing the Chrome browser they are able to authenticate in Chrome.... I have a few users that can't connect in either browser. Here is my configuration. Using IIS 10 and SQL Server. The app and db servers have Kerberos enabled using a service account. Some key IIS settings: App Pool - V4.0 Classic using service account, provisioned for Kerberos. Load user Profile is set to False Authentication: (The following are enabled) ASP.NET Impersonation - Identity to Impersonate - Authenticated User Windows Authentication - Advanced Settings Accept Extended Protection and Enable Kernel-mode auth Providers set to Negotiate then NTLM App Settings: system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication authPersistSingleRequest = False Enabled = True useAppPoolCredentials = True userKernelMode = True Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Cookieless browsing broken after update KB4580979
Upon running Windows Update KB4580979, .Net 4.7.2 projects that have the SessionStateSection.Cookiless Property set to AutoDetect no longer functions as expected. Previously, a browser that blocked cookies would be redirected to the same page with the querystring /default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 and upon the system detecting that cookies were not supported it would redirect again to a cookiless session URL e.g. /(X(1)S(adl04pietheradyfawfaqlym))/default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 Since the update, a browser would continously be redirected to /default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 until the redirects exceeded the maximum redirects.

I can add an SSL certificate to IIS server certificates, but when we try to binding SSL certificate to our app it's not listing there, then checked IIS server certificates again, the added certificate not found there, finally realized that issue was due to missing of the private key, then I tried to recover that by executing following command certutil -repairstore my <Serial_number> but getting smart card pop up, then updated group policy of smart card (disabled smart card), after that checked again, pop up still shows Windows Server 2019 data center 64 bit Refer: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9773/2238/ssl-disappears-from-the-certificate-list-on-windows-serverCookieless browsing broken after update KB4580979
