Hi; I'm new to SCE 2010 and after a lot of reading I got it up and running and everything appears to be good except for this error. I'm monitoring 2 web servers and getting similar errors from both. Here is one of them: Failed to perform Web Site discovery Event Description: Error reading properties of the WebSite 'SmarterMail'. Skipping Discovery of website. This operation will be retried. Error: 0x80070032 Details: The request is not supported. One or more workflows were affected by this. Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.2008.Discover64To72WebSites Instance name: IIS Web Server Instance ID: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} Management group: MGT_MG The servers being monitored are virtual machines (Hyper-V) running Win 2008 R2. Hope somebody can help me with that. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Regarding the issue, I think it is related to IIS Management Pack. Please ensure you have the latest version of this MP and it is properly configured: Windows Server Internet Information Services 7 Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=D351BCA8-182B-4223-8C9E-627E184BA02B Windows Server Internet Information Services 2008 Management Pack Guide http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd542497.aspx Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas; First of all thank you for your attention. Well, you got me confused on this one. I'm running System Center Essentials 2010 and the Management Pack you provide me above says it is for System Center Operations Manager 2007. So, can i install this package anyways? In SCE 2010 i went to "Administration/Management Packs" and found this: Windows Server Internet Information Services Library - Version 6.0.6539.0 The link you provided, besides the fact is says it is for Operations Manager 2007, the version is 6.0.7600.0

Hi, Thank you for your update. As far as I know, the management packs for System Center Operations Manager 2007 can also be used in System Center Essentials. Please also see: Management Packs for System Center Essentials http://blogs.technet.com/b/systemcenteressentials/archive/2008/09/29/system-center-essentials-management-packs.aspx In addition, in the download page in my previous post, we can see “2/23/2009 - Updated the IIS management pack to support monitoring Windows Server 2008, version 6.0.6539.0”; therefore, I think you can try the latest version.

We're running Opsmgr R2. And have experienced the same type of discovery errors. Regarding IIS7 Web sites Symptom : Failed to perform Web Site discovery (Event Description: Error reading properties of the Website ’xxxxxx’. Skipping Discovery of website. This operation will be retried. Error: 0x80070032 ) Cause : Website on IIS7.0 running with application pool under .Net 4.0 and the configuration section 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration. Because of this the system.web.extensions for Ajax element fails to process the config file. Resolution : To solve this problem you will need to add the following under <configSections> section in the web.config file: <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> <sectionGroup name="webServices" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/> <section name="profileService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> <section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> <section name="roleService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingRoleServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> Once this above is done, run the AppCmd: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd list config " Web site name xxxx" If it fails with error below: ERROR ( message:Configuration error Filename: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config Line Number: 200 Description: Unrecognized element 'providerOption' . ) The above error is observed for below section in web.config: <system.codedom> <compilers> <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider,System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" warningLevel="4"> <providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v4.0" /> <providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false" /> </compiler> </compilers> </system.codedom> Removing lines below helps the validation to succeed. <providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v4.0" /> <providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false" /> Run the command again: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd list config " Web site name xxxx" And it should work without errors. And next web site discovery should be complete without errors Hope you can use the info. :)
