Summary

The release of Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 introduces version 6.0 of the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). To improve security in this product, the default installation of IIS 6.0 is in locked down mode. In this mode IIS can only serve static HTTP content, meaning that it cannot load the pages of the TASKE web applications. Continue with the remainder of this article for instruction on configuring IIS to serve the pages of TASKE web applications.

Issue

A Page not Found error displays when signing into a TASKE web application.

Reason

The default installation of Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 on Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 is in locked down mode and can only serve static HTTP content. This prohibits the use of the Active Server Pages Web Service Extension that is required by TASKE web applications.

Solution

Enable the Active Server Pages Web service extension. To do this open IIS Manager, expand the local computer, and click Web Service Extensions. In the details pane, click the Active Server Pages Web service extension and click Allow to enable Active Server Pages Web service extension.
