Also verify that IRM.Net anonymous user RDPIRM and that is user has write access to the c:\windows\Microsoft\2.0...\TemporaryASP.Net file (IIS 6 - Network Service user).

 

If the anonymous user has changed from ASPNET, look up the password in the machine.config file and set anonymous user to ASPNET. Restart IIS.

Web Server Application is Unavailable

IRM.Net Speed Reduced/Slow

The service W3WP.EXE was causing 100% CPU usage per request on our IRM. We applied the scenario below with success.  McAfee has introduced 'Buffer Overflow Protection' into VirusScan Enterprise v8.0i, which if set to 'Protection Mode' seems to interfere with w3wp.exe and throw the processors to 100%.

If the Buffer Overflow Protection is disabled in McAfee antivirus, performance is greatly enhanced.  So, if you're running VS Enterprise v8.0i and start seeing strange 100% CPU usage, check that "Buffer Overflow Protection" is disabled or set to "Warning Mode" which might also solve the problem.

Res Made, Span Bar Hangs, No Error Displayed

Issue:  A guest fills out the reservation information form and clicks Make Reservation.  The span bar slowly fills but then stops.  The process hangs, never finishing and never giving an error.  Reservation is actually made; however, the customer is unaware.

Solution:  The problem is caused by the actual confirmation report having the Travel Services ID as a parameter.  Remove the parameter to solve the problem.
