ASP.NET State Server Issues with Win 2003 Server

Hi,
I hope that someone has come across this problem in their travels,
because it is causing me quite a bit of grief. I apologise for the
length of this question.

We are running a web farm consisting of 3xWin2K servers, and 1xWin
2003 Server. We also have a State Server running (Windows 2003
Server). I have configured all the web servers identically and they
all share state via the state server, well, all except the Windows
2003 Server which DOES NOT.

I have scoured the web and have done the following:

1. Made sure that all the machines in the web farm and the state
server are updated with the latest version of .NET framework ( .NET
1.1 SP 1 ).

2. Ensured that all webservers have the same encryption/decryption
keys specified in the machine.config file.

3. Ensured that all web servers are configured for "StateServe r" mode
in the web.config and they have the correct connection string.

4. Ensured that all web servers have the same metabase Id in IIS. This
meant running the MoveInstance.vb s on the Win 2003 server to change
the Metabase Id to 3 (so as it matches the win2k servers).

5. Changed IIS on the win 2003 server to run in IIS 5.0 Compatibility
mode. This was done so that it runs under the ASPNET account.

The Windows 2000 servers successfully share their state amongst each
other. I have written a simple page to test that, and they definately
work 100%. The problem is that Windows 2003 web server appears to
successfully talk to the state server ( this is evident, when you type
the wrong state server name in the connection string it results in an
exception ). It looks like Windows 2003 keeps it's session state
separate to everyone elses.

The ASP.NET session Id is the same across all machines for the session
so it's not because the Windows 2003 server is creating a new session.

Again, sorry for the long question, but it is quite an involved
problem.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Jacob

Are there any known issues with developing ASP.NET web applications directly on Windows 2003 Server running VS.NET 2003 Pro, SQL Server client tools, and using VSS for source control? Essentially using W2003 Server as a desktop with the exception of leveraging IIS 6.0. Thanks in advance. Mark

Hello, I’m currently writing an asp.net application that will be running on a Windows XP Professional workstation utilising IIS and MSDE Database.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
