CAUSE

This issue may occur if the URLScan tool rejects your request because of the settings that are specified in the Urlscan.ini file.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods.

Method 1

Modify the Urlscan.ini file:
  1. Open the c:\Windows folder\System32\Inetsrv\Urlscan folder.
  2. Open the Urlscan.log file in a text editor such a Notepad, and note the setting that is interfering with your request.
  3. Locate the setting in the Urlscan.ini file that corresponds to the record in the URLScan log file.
  4. Follow these steps to edit the Urlscan.ini file:
    1. Open the Urlscan.ini file.
    2. Locate the [DenyExtensions] section.
    3. Put a semicolon in front of the .com entry to remark out that line.
    4. Locate the [AllowExtensions] section.
    5. Add .com to the list of approved extensions.
    6. Save the Urlscan.ini file.
  5. Restart the IIS Administration service.
  6. Restart Exchange System Manager, and then try to expand Public Folders.
  7. If the issue is not resolved, repeat these steps. When you view the URLScan log file, note that a different parameter may be the cause of the issue. You may have to repeat this procedure several times until each parameter is approved by the URLScan tool.

Method 2

Remove IISLockDown by running Iislockd.exe, and then reinstall IISLockDown. Make sure that you do not install the URLScan tool.
