Sorry Ron, it's a Monday and I worked through the weekend . . so it's a
rough Monday. ;)

The STA's are set to load balance, not failover. I can change that
easily enough yes, but given that it fails in load balance mode. I'm not
too sure that failover will be any better.=20

Duh, a scheduled script is easy enough to do. Sure it's a patch but if
run every week, with an IISreset it will probably do the trick.=20

I also thought about setting the STA to one of the TS servers . . but
I'm not really a fan of IIS on TS servers unless there's no other
option.=20

Thanks,=20

Ok so its not setup to Load balance (the check box under the sta config)
just setup to failover....

HMM...

I mean a "patch" type solution to it could be to schedule that script to
run. But its just that a patch.

Failover is not a problem, and is setup fine through the admin page. It
seems that both servers fail with the same errors at roughly the same
time. Possibly since they were both installed at or around the same
time.=3D3D20

Are you load balancing the STAs or doing a failover?  You could just
setup a failover to use STA1 then STA2 if the first is not avail. Could
do this right in the NFuse admin page.

Subject: [THIN] odd issue with Secure gateway STA's

This is an odd one. Got a client site with a standard installation of
Nfuse with secure gateway. Nfuse and CSG servers are in the DMZ with
valid certs from trusted authorities, and we're load balancing the STA's
which sit in the LAN on Win2k IIS servers.=3D3D3D20
=3D3D3D20
The one snag here is the STA servers are domain controllers. I can't
really change that at this point.=3D3D3D20
=3D3D3D20
Here's my problem. Everything works fine for a few weeks, and then these
errors start cropping up in the event logs on the STA's.=3D3D3D20
=3D3D3D20
Event id - 10004 - from Dcom
=3D3D3D20
DCOM got error "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer. " and was unable to logon
.\IWAM_DCname in order to run the server:
{3D14228D-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1}
=3D3D3D20
Event id - 36 - from w3svc
=3D3D3D20
The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT'.  The error was
'The server process could not be started because the configured identity
is incorrect.  Check the username and password.
=3D3D3D20
These errors start showing up when a user attempts to connect to the
Nfuse site, gets their applist and clicks on a link . . . which fails
citing . . "Non of the configured STA's are available".=3D3D3D20
=3D3D3D20
Tracking this down, I've found that the Iwam and Iuser accounts are
somehow out of synch on the servers (they autochange their passwords).
The admin script synchiwam.vbs resynchs them . . and the STA's work
again for a few weeks.=3D3D3D20
=3D3D3D20
So, I have a fix, but not a permanent solution.  Anyone one else run
into anything like this . . and have any suggestions?
=3D3D3D20
Thanks,=3D3D3D20
