What are the prerequisites for IIS Site Discovery and how to troubleshoot it?
Prerequisites:
- Administrator access for the remote IIS Server i.e., the credentials to access IIS Log files and the configuration file location are listed below:
- IIS configuration file location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\
- IIS log files location: C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\
- SMB v2 should be enabled on EventLog Analyzer and the target machine to perform the IIS Site discovery.
- Remote registry service should be running.
Troubleshooting:
- Please click on the "Update IIS Server" icon and enter the credentials.
- Click on "Verify Credentials" and let us know the status. (Hint: Try importing the log file in the "Import Log Data" tab using the same credential to check if you have access to import)
- SMB not enabled/port 445 is blocked. SMBv2 support is available on builds 12030 and above for EventLog Analyzer.
- Enable Remote registry service, if it is not running.
- Check if the host name resolves, otherwise try pinging the host name from the EventLog Analyzer server to ensure IP Lookup.
