The Client Trust List (CTL) on the Destination Node Does Not Work after Metabase Replication (279635)

SYMPTOMS

When a Cluster Server (MSCS) uses Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, and the administrator creates a Client Trust List (CTL) on Node A, and then runs IISSYNC for metabase replication from Node A to Node B, the property changes are replicated, but the CTL is not. If a CTL is already in place on Node B before the replication, IISSYNC replaces the CTL with a null value.

CAUSE

Each CTL has a GUID and is computer specific. Even though IISSYNC replicates this GUID, the second node does not have a CTL associated with it.

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

   Date      Time    Version         Size    File name     Platform

   5/31/2001  03:31p  5.0.2195.3649  26896   Mdsync.dll    Intel

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION

This fix prevents any replication in respect to the CTL, so that a CTL that exists on the destination node before the replication will still work after the metabase replication runs.
