Error message in Access 2002 after you install the URLScan utility: "Failure to Write to an Internet Handle" (311068)

RESOLUTION

Adjust the URLScan configuration settings on the IIS server to permit the processes that are required for synchronization. To reconfigure the URLScan configuration settings that are specified in the urlscan.ini file on the IIS Server, follow these steps:

1. Open the urlscan.ini file in a text editor such as Notepad. By default, the urlscan.ini file is installed in the following folder:
   • On Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows 2000:

     c:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\urlscan.ini

   • On Microsoft Windows XP:

     c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\urlscan.ini

2. Change the following sections of the urlscan.ini file as indicated:
   • If the UseAllowVerbs section is equal to 1, add the following entries to the [AllowVerbs] section if they are not already listed:
     • DELETE
     • PUT
     
     
   • If the UseAllowVerbs section is equal to 0, remove the following entries from the [DenyVerbs] section or comment them out by putting a semicolon in front of each entry (for example, ;DELETE):
     • DELETE
     • PUT
     
     
   • If the UseAllowExtensions section is equal to 1, add the following entry to the [AllowExtensions] section if it is not already listed:
     • .exe
   • If the UseAllowExtensions section is equal to 0, remove the following entry from the [DenyExtensions] section or comment it out by putting a semicolon in front of the entry (for example, ;.exe):
     • .exe
3. Save the urlscan.ini file.
4. Restart IIS.

After you complete these steps, you may still receive other errors when you try to perform HTTP or FTP synchronization. Depending on the template that you chose during the installation of the IIS Lockdown Tool, the IIS virtual directory (typically Scripts ) that contains the Synchronizer program (Mstrai40.exe) may have been disabled. You may have to reconfigure the IIS virtual directory or Replication Manager (or both) to fully re-enable synchronization via HTTP or FTP.
