"Script Execution Error: Error Executing INVOKE" Error Message After You Install IIS Lockdown Wizard (319633)

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Reapply Adjusted IIS Lockdown Settings

Rerun the IIS Lockdown Wizard, which will re-apply all pre-installation settings such as access permissions and virtual directories (for example, IISAdmin). After this is successfully completed, rerun the IIS Lockdown Wizard one more time. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Remove the current IIS Lockdown settings:
   1. Start the IIS Lockdown Wizard.
   2. On the This Server Was Already Configured page, click Next.
   3. Click Yes when you are prompted to continue.
   4. When the wizard is completed, click Next, and then click Finish.
2. Apply the adjusted IIS Lockdown settings:
   1. Start the IIS Lockdown Wizard.
   2. On the Welcome to the Internet Information Services Lockdown Wizard page, click Next.
   3. On the End User License Agreement page, click I agree, and then click Next.
   4. On the Select Server Template page, select the SharePoint Portal Server template, and click to select the View template settings check box, and then click Next.
   5. On the Internet Services page, select the appropriate services to retain, and then click Next.
   6. On the Script Maps page, click to select all the check boxes except the Active Server Pages (.asp) check box, and then click Next.
      
      NOTE: Do not click to select the Active Server Pages (.asp) check box.
   7. On the Additional Security page, accept all of the defaults except the IISAdmin check box, and then click Next.
      
      NOTE: Do not click to select the IISAdmin check box. The IISAdmin check box should be cleared so that the virtual directory is maintained.
   8. On the URLScan page, choose to install the URLScan filter on the server, and then click Next.
   9. On the Ready to Apply Settings page, review the configuration information, and then click Next.
   10. When the wizard is completed, click Next, and then click Finish.

You can now use the FQDN to browse the document library of SharePoint Portal Server, and the IIS Lockdown Wizard maintains the highest level of security.

Method 2: Create a New Web Site (W3SVC/2)

Create another Web site in Internet Services Manager. This new Web Site will have the Web site number of the previously used Administration Web Site (for example, W3SVC/2).

If you do not want to host another Web site, you can create a placeholder Web site to allow the sequential numbering of Web sites in IIS. To do this, follow these steps:

1. In the InetPub folder, create a directory named PLACEHOLDER.
2. Start the Internet Services Manager:
   1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Administrative Tools.
   2. Click Internet Services Manager.
3. Right-click your computer name, click New, and then click Web Site.
4. When the Web site creation wizard appears, click Next.
5. Type Placeholder for the site description, and then click Next.
6. Type 127.0.0.1 for the IP address and PLACEHOLDER for the host header, and then click Next.
7. Type or locate the path for the Placeholder folder that you created earlier, and then click Next.
8. Click to clear all Web access permissions, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish to close the wizard.
10. Right-click the newly-created Placeholder Web site in the Internet Services Manager, and then click Stop.

The new Web site is now created, but it cannot be browsed from Web clients.
