You work as the network administrator at EliteCertify.com. The EliteCertify.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named EliteCertify.com. All servers on the EliteCertify.com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional. IIS 6.0 is installed on a member server named EliteCertify -SR05. The EliteCertify.com intranet Web site is hosted on EliteCertify -SR05. Several users have complained about not being able to access a specific Web page on EliteCertify -SR05. You investigate the issue and discover that users receive this error message: 404 The Page Cannot Be Found: The page was either renamed, removed, or is currently unavailable. You verify that the users have correctly spelt the domain name of the website in the requested URL. You need to find out why EliteCertify -SR05 cannot locate the requested file and want to view information on when other requests retuned the 404: The Page Cannot Be Found error message to a user who wanted to view this specific content page on the Web site. You want to use the best source of information to troubleshoot your specific issue. What should you do?

Display Answer

Answer: B

Explanation: IIS by default logs all site activity to a C. \windows\system32\LogFiles folder on a daily basis. The log files are stored in a W3 Extended log files format, with yymmdd being the current data. A new log file log is created each day. IIS logs the error in the Web logs for the site at the same time that it sends the HTTP error message to the client. To troubleshoot your issue, you should open and review several of the recently created log files. You can easily find the information you are interested in by searching for the 404 The Page Cannot Be Found error code type. Incorrect answers: A. IIS is not installed on client computers. No errors are logged in the C. \windows\system32\LogFiles folder because this folder does not exist on client computers. C. The system event log does not contain HTTP error messages. The system event log contains important information on the stability and conditions of the operating system. D. The application event log does not contain HTTP error messages. The application log stores events that pertain to applications running on the computer.
