Passport Network Map Refresh Does Not Work on Remote Servers (810172)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Passport 2.5
- Microsoft Passport Software Development Kit (SDK) 2.5
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
SYMPTOMSIf you point the Msppcnfg.exe Passport configuration utility
at a remote server (where Windows Server 2003 is the remote server), the
Network Map Refresh fails.CAUSE In the past, the Network Map Refresh worked on computers
with the Passport SDK installed. The Network Map Refresh worked because the SDK
created an IIS virtual directory (Passporttest) that displayed an ASP page.
That ASP page could then be used to update the Network Map. However,
if you use Msppcnfg.exe to configure a remote computer when the Refresh
Network Map check box is selected, or if you change the Passport
Environment by using the Passport Manager Administration Utility, and then you
click Commit Changes, an instantiation of Microsoft Internet
Explorer runs. You then typically see the following error message in Internet
Explorer: Page Not found If your computer has
Microsoft Windows 2000 with the Passport SDK installed and then you upgrade to
Windows Server 2003, the virtual directory may exist. This may cause the
refresh of the Network Map to succeed. RESOLUTIONYou can use the Msppcnfg.exe to configure a remote computer
in either of the following ways:
- Use the /m option when you run the
utility from the command line.
- On the Select Server menu, click
Computer to select a computer that is different from the local
computer.
