Script Mappings Are Not Removed from the Registry after Migration

ID: Q193169

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Script mappings are not removed from the registry after they have been migrated to the Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 metabase.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server version 4.0. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.


MORE INFORMATION

Previous versions of IIS use the Windows registry rather than the metabase. When the W3svc service is started in IIS 4.0, it checks the registry for settings used by IIS 4.0, and then migrates them to the metabase, which causes duplicate entries in the script map list.
