RE: Server Error in '/Backup' Application.



Hi Adde,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

Regarding the error you receive when you use the Monitoring and Reporting,
Backup snap-ins, check out the following Knowledge Base article:

823379 You receive a "Server Error in '/' Application. Access to the path
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823379

If the KB article above doesn't help, please enable the details of the
specific error, reproduce the issue and post back the error details.

Monitoring site, Backup site, and Companyweb each has their own Web.config
located in Inetpub\Monitoring, Inetpub\Backup, Inetpub\Companyweb,
respectively. Follow the steps below to modify Web.config in the specific
directory to display detailed ASP.NET error information for that specific
website.

For example, to display the detailed ASP.Net error for Monitoring:

1). Make a backup of C:\Inetpub\Monitoring\Web.config

2). Open Web.config with Notepad

3). Change <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect=?error.aspx? /> to
<customErrors mode="Off" />

Please note that the text is case sensitive.

4). Save the file

5). Go to a command prompt, run "iisreset".

Additional information:

842693 You receive a ?HTTP 400 - Bad Request" error message when you try to
use
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=842693

In addition, to narrow down the problem, would you please help me collect
the following information?

1. Does the issue occur after you installed Exchange 2003 SP1 and all work
before?
2. Do you use SBS standard or Premium?
3. What else changes you have done on SBS?
4. Have you installed Exchange SP1 as following:

http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/downloads/2003/sp1.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0FE89C95-E767-428C-
8621-6A586C655EE3&displaylang=en

After installing Exchange 2003 SP1, there are a couple of tweaks needed:

1) By default, after running CEICW, the component will set the Default
Domain property on the corresponding IIS sub-directories (under
Authentication -> Access Control) as following:

/Exchange/: \
/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/: SBS domain name
/OMA/: SBS domain name

However, Exchange 2003 SP1 replaces the OWA logon screen (Program
Files\Exchsrvr\bin\auth\usa\logon.asp) and it caused OWA now to ask for
domain\username instead of simply just the username. To fix this problem
before SBS SP1 comes out, you can edit the SP1 logon.asp or (which is
recommended) just add the domain name in the Exchange virtual directory,
Directory Security, Authentication and access control, Default Domain.

The same goes to the OWA and Server-ActiveSync sub-sites, we can just set
the "SBS domain name" back. This is considering the fact that some PPC or
mobile phone cannot use the reverse backslash character when inputting
credential.

2) After installing Exchange 2003 SP1 to SBS server, you may notice that
store.exe is consuming more memory than before. It also occurs on normal
Exchange 2K3 server, the only difference is that SBS has the monitoring
component which will send out e-mail notification once the threshold is
reached.

This issue occurs no matter the amount of the memory is below or above 1
GB. In addition, many of the partners has also implemented the suggestions
in the following KB, it makes things better but the store memory usage is
still higher than SP1 was applied:

815372 How to Optimize Memory Usage in Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815372

Prior to SP1, the database cache bytes are counted as mapped bytes. In SP1,
the database cache is counted under private bytes. Thus, the private bytes
will be considerably higher (about 940 MB higher) for SP1 than before, and
mapped bytes will be correspondingly lower. If people are using private
bytes as the measure of memory, then yes, it changed dramatically between
Ti and Ti SP1. Working set and Virtual Bytes should be mostly unaffected.

Since SBS Monitoring is counting the Private Bytes, it will be 940MB higher
than before. This won't impact the server's normal operation.

Workaround is to add 1000 or above to the counter so that you will not
receive the warning that frequently.
