SYMPTOMS

When you use the Web Administration tool to create an expiration policy, you may receive the following error saving the change:

error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error

In some cases, the browser may stop responding or one or more frames may become disabled (grayed out).

WORKAROUND

Create the first expiration policy using the Microsoft Management Console.
