IIS Server Instance Error Message with Microsoft Cluster Server

ID: Q176522

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0
Microsoft Cluster Server, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install an Internet Information Server (IIS) node in Microsoft Cluster Server, you may get the following error message:

An error occurred attempting to read properties for the
'IIS Server Instance' resource type:
More data is available.
Error ID: 234 (000000ea).

CAUSE

This can occur if the two IIS installations reside on installations of Microsoft Windows NT Server that are in different directories. For example, Computer 1 has Windows NT installed in C:\Winnt, and Computer 2 has Windows NT installed in C:\Winnt35. As a result, the Dlls files that are in the InetSrv directory are in different places and the Cluster Server cannot find them on one of the two systems.

WORKAROUND

Make sure that both systems in the cluster have Windows NT installed into the same directory.
