Deciphering IISSYNC Status Codes (224801)

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:

SUMMARY

The IISSYNC utility is used to synchronize Internet Information Server (IIS) metabase and Transaction Server packages on one Node with IIS on a Microsoft Cluster Server on the other Node.

The IISSYNC utility returns a status code upon completion. This status code is always a numeric message whether the synchronization was successful or whether an error occurred.

This article contains a list of status codes that are most often encountered and what the possible or probable cause of the status code is.
