  • 1.  Creating images and storing on HTTP 7.1SP1a

    Posted Jul 16, 2011 01:32 PM

    Good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone

    Has anyone gotten imaging to a HTTP server to work under 7.1 SP1a?  We have followed article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO25953 with one variation (will talk about that in a sec).  The creat image task has Capture Image to Web Server checked and the information filled out under the Advance option.  Since this was storing to a IIS server the only thing is that the Site Server coponents are not install on this server.  Is this needed?  Cant see why when its just for storage but I could be wrong.

    If anyone has a working job I would appreciate a run down of how your job looks and if your IIS server indeed needs site server components.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I hope you are using this web server for image storage. If you are using Web Server for image storage then Site Server Components are not needed.

    Thanks

    Yes.  We are using this IIS server as storage for the images.  If Site server components are not needed (which I assumed were not), how did you set up your image job?  Did you use credentials you set up in IIS specifically for this?  During the setup using Article: HOWTO25953 it says to leave anony access on but enable basic authentication. 

     

    Any Help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    For image job we need to use IIS credential. If you are using IIS7 then anonymous authentication is not supported. Even if you disabled Anonymous Authentication and keep Basic Authentication enabled it will not affect image job.

    Also if you have enabled both Anonymous and Basic Authentication then by default Basic Authentication will be used. Basic Authentication overrides Anonymous authentication, same is case with Basic and Digest. Digest authentication overrides Basic authentication.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the help.  Since we were following the steps outlined in the HOWTO we figured something was a miss.  We narrowed it down to a password that contained a "@" in it.  Since that is a delimiter to seperate the username/password and location it was causing the entire command line to fail (we noticed this in the rdlog).  We changed to another account that did not contain a @ in the password and it authenticated fine.

     

    Thanks again!
