Iissync.exe Fails with Error Code 64

• Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you replicate settings from one server to another (or a group of servers) using Iissync.exe, you may receive the following error message:

Error replicating to target computername: The specified network name is no longer available.
Error code 64 (00000040)
At least one target computer was not replicated successfully.

CAUSE

This error message is usually caused when Iissync.exe runs more than once in a short period of time. There is a small delay (typically about five seconds or so) in which the Iissync process does not complete any request successfully.

RESOLUTION

If you need to run the Iissync.exe utility more than once, wait for a small period of time (about five to 30 seconds) before running the utility again.

Note: If you are replicating settings to multiple servers, you do not need to run Iissync.exe more than once. You can replicate settings to all of the servers simultaneously. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Open a command prompt (Cmd.exe).



2. Navigate to the %SystemRoot%/System32/Inetsrv directory.



3. Type "iissync server1 server2 server 3" (without the quotation marks). Each server you replicate to should be separated by spaces.



4. Press the Enter key.
