RE: Server Performance report

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, I understand that when attempting to view the server
performance report, following error message was received:

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname).

If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to correct me.

If you are running Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, Premium
Edition, this problem may occur if the loopback address is absent or if the
loopback address is not set for the default Web site in Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS). This problem also may occur if a host header
other than localhost is assigned to the loopback address in the default Web
site.

If you are running Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, Standard
Edition, this problem may occur if a host header value is assigned to the
All Unassigned Internet Protocol (IP) address for the default Web site in
IIS.

For Windows Small Business Server, Premium Edition
=================================
To resolve this problem, set the loopback IP address for the default Web
site in IIS. To do this, follow these steps.

Note: Typically, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server is
installed and the default Web site is bound to an internal IP address and
to the loopback address in Windows Small Business Server, Premium Edition.
Additionally, a host header is typically not assigned to the loopback
address in the default Web site.

1. Click Start, and then click Server Management.
2. In the console tree, double-click Advanced Management, and then
double-click Internet Information Services.
3. In the details pane, double-click ServerName (local computer).
4. Double-click Web Sites, right-click Default Web Site, and then click
Properties.
5. In the Default Web Site Properties window, click the Web Site tab, and
then click Advanced.

Note: Make sure that the internal IP address is listed under IP address and
is bound to port 80.

6. In the Advanced Web Site Identification window, click Add.
7. Under Add/Edit Web Site Identification, type 127.0.0.1 in the IP
address box.
8. Type 80 in the TCP port box. Leave the Host Header Value box blank.
9. Click OK three times.

For Windows Small Business Server, Standard Edition
==============================
To resolve this problem, remove the host header value. To do this, follow
these steps.

Note: Typically, Internet Security and Acceleration Server is not installed
and the default Web site is bound to the All Unassigned IP address in
Windows Small Business Server, Standard Edition. Also, the host header of
the default Web site is not assigned to the All Unassigned IP address.

1. Click Start, and then click Server Management.
2. In the console tree, double-click Advanced Management, and then
double-click Internet Information Services.
3. In the details pane, double-click ServerName (local computer).

4. Double-click Web Sites, right-click Default Web Site, and then click
Properties.
5. In the Default Web Site Properties window, click the Web Site tab, and
then click Advanced.
6. In the Advanced Web Site Identification window, click Default, and then
click Edit.

7. Make sure that (All Unassigned) is entered in the IP address box.
8. Delete any host header name that is in the Host Header value box.
9. Click OK three times.

Note: If you must assign an IP address and a host header to the default Web
site, add the IP address 127.0.0.1 with port 80 and leave the Host Header
value box blank.

You receive a "HTTP 400 - Bad Request" error message when you try to use
the Monitoring and Reporting snap-in or the Backup snap-in on a Windows
Small Business Server 2003-based computer

I hope the above information is helpful to you. However, if the issue
persists, please help me gather following information:

1. Please send me the IIS Metabase. You can collect Metabase by using
mbexplorer.

a. Install MBExplorer by installing IIS 6 Resource Kit Tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=56FC92EE-A71A-4C73-
B628-ADE629C89499&displaylang=en.

b. Once it is installed, access it from Start, Programs, IIS Resources,
Metabase Explorer.

c. In the left pane, right click ''LM'' (under your server computer name)
to choose ''Export to file'', and then save it as SBSIIS.mbk.

d. Compress this mbk file and send it to my mailbox v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Please download the MPS Report tool from the following link and run it
on the SBS server, then send the generated CAB file to my mailbox
v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for further investigation so that we can find what
the root cause is:

concern, please feel free to let me know.
