Issues Interacting With the Windows 2000 Plug-In

This section describes known issues with the Windows 2000 plug-in.

Changing a Microsoft IIS Setting and Then Resetting It Might Result in Differences Being Found (6189034)

When performing model to install comparisons that include snapshots of IIS settings, if an IIS setting is changed and then changed back to its original value on the target server, comparison results might indicate differences when no difference exists. In particular, IIS metabase properties that are inherited from parent nodes, such as read/write web site permissions or default document settings, are prone to this behavior.

Workaround: Ignore the differences that are found in these cases.

Cannot Uninstall Windows IIS Application (6197564)

When you uninstall a Windows IIS Application, the Master Server browser interface displays that the uninstallation was successful. However, the COM+ applications are not completely removed. The COM+ applications remain in the Add/Remove Software Programs in the Control Panel.

Workaround: Manually remove the remaining COM+ applications.

To prevent this problem, when you install the application, increase the value of the shutdownDelaySecs variable.
