WWW Publishing Service Stopped Unexpectedly with Event ID 7031

[Beer]

Hello Everyone,

We have been getting the EventID 7031 errors ever since we
installed SP 3. We have been searching for any possible
solution, but not much luck.

We are running Windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0 (No
indexing services installed), and SP4. Every now and
then, we have the 7031 for IIS Admim, SMPT and WWW
services stopped without any apparent reason. We noticed
that the Event Viewer logged those 7031 errors when all
the hosted sites were stopped.

I wonder if a script can be written to detect the status
of the sites and restart the IIS if they are stopped. If
so, please provide information on that as I have never
done something like this before.

Any help/suggestions are higly appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Beer

Right-click on each service in the services tool , select Properties and look at the Recovery tab..

Set whatever actions you want it to take on failure..

This may do what you want.

Have you installed the Nimda patch from 2002 or whenever that was?

Hello Ray,

First of all, I apologize for mulitposting my questions on
different groups.

Yes, I believe so. I ran the Baseline Security Analyzer
on the web server, and it did not indicate any
vulnerabilities on the server.

The server seems to be all patched with both Windows and
IIS security updates.

We scanned the server with the utility, but it did not
find any worms or viruses.

Thank you very much for your instruction. I have set it
to restart the service on the first, second and third
failure. Hope this will help to solve the problem.

thank you.

Look at this page from Microsoft..The Virus protection may be causing the problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=iis50

Hope it helps remove the cause not just relieve the symptoms, like my last response.

Hello Turbear,

Thank you very much for your help. I really apprecaite it.

On our web server, the only pages that are allowed to run
are .asp and .asa. In addition, we do not have any virus
scan software running on the machine, we have another
machine to handle that. Therefore, those solutions do not
seem to be helping much.

I have been looking and looking on the web, but I have not
been able to point out what exactly is causing the problem.

Do you think that it is because of the asp coding? (But,
keep in mind that, everything was working properly before
SP3.)

Please advise and again, thank you very much.

Hello Turkbear,

Thank you very much for helping me with the problem. I
really appreciate it.

I have read the article but it does not apply to our case
since our web server does not have any backup or virus
scan programs on itself.

I have been looking around for any possible leads or
solutions, but I have not been able to pin-point the cause.

Once again, thank you very much.

Yes even i am getting the problem and haven't found any solution.
Everything was working fine for me as well till i had SP3. Lately when we
upgraded the server through windows update, then the problem started coming.
I have checked number of articles on web but haven't found the exact
solution for the same.
Two day before i posted a big article on this with subject as "IIS Services
stop - got no solution" in this same newsgroup. You guys can check that out
to see what exactly the problem is.

Any help will be appreciated
