SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade from URLScan 2.5 to the more restrictive URLScan Security Rollup Package (SRP) 2.5, you find that the MaxAllowedContentLength that is specified in the Urlscan.ini file has not changed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because when you install URLScan SRP 2.5 after you have installed URLScan 2.5, the MaxAllowedContentLength value of 2000000000 is not overwritten with the more restrictive value of 30000000.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, set the MaxAllowedContentLength to 30000000. To do so, open the Urlscan.ini file in a text editor (such as Notepad), and then set the MaxAllowedContentLength value to 30000000. This file is located in the System Root\System32\Inetsrv\Urlscan folder.
