To me this would be an IIS MetaBase issue.  What service pack level
are the DC's at?  Also, this really doesn't present a major security
hole, but I would offload the STA to a workstation if at all
possible.  It just needs IIS.

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.=3D20

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.=3D3D20 =3D3D20 The
one snag here is the STA servers are domain controllers. I can't
really change that at this point.=3D3D20 =3D3D20 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.=3D3D20 =3D3D20 Event id -
10004 - from Dcom =3D3D20 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}
=3D3D20
Event id - 36 - from w3svc
=3D3D20
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. =3D3D20
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".=3D3D20
=3D3D20 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.=3D3D20 =3D3D20 So, I have a
fix, but not a permanent solution.  Anyone one else run into anything
like this . . and have any suggestions? =3D3D20 Thanks,=3D3D20
