The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0
This article was previously published under Q266385 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you use the Internet Service Manager on a computer running Internet Information Server (IIS) version 3.0 to remotely administer Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 or Internet Information Services (IIS) version 5.0, you may receive the following error message:
The stub received bad data
CAUSE
This error message appears because IIS 3.0 was not designed to administer IIS 4.0 or IIS 5.0. It is possible to do this on a Windows NT 4.0-based computer that has IIS 3.0 Service Pack 4 or earlier installed; however, with later service packs, the option is no longer available and does not function.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade the computer running IIS 3.0 to IIS 4.0 by installing the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP), and then re-applying the latest Windows NT Service Pack. You can then use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to administer other computers running IIS 4.0 or IIS 5.0.
