Trouble with static content in you Web Apps on Windows Server 2008 R2

Are you having trouble with static content in you web pages after uprgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2 ?


Try adding the "Static Content" Role Service to the Web Server role.

Static content can be HTML pages, Image files ( jpg, png, gif ) etc...


A little info from MS regarding the Web Server (IIS) Role Services in IIS 7.5


Static Content


Static Content lets the Web server publish static Web file formats, such as HTML pages and image files. Use Static Content to publish files on your Web server that users can then view using a Web browser.

Error ID:1023
Source: MSI installer

Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - Update 'Service Pack 3 for SQL Server Database Services 2005 ENU (KB955706)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQLServer\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB955706_sqlrun_sql.msp.log.


Solution:

According to our research, this was not only and issue with SQL SP3, but also with SP1 and SP2

We found this article helped some folks but not us.

Our solution was to follow the directions in MS KB925976
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925976

Apparently the SQL instance was installed prior to the DCPROMO and the local groups listed under the Setup key were invalid. We deleted the SIDs for the following keys and then service pack ran without error.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Setup\SQLGroup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Setup\AGTGroup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Setup\FTSGroup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Setup\ASGroup
