Invoke("Recycle") on VISTA Machine fails, whereas it works on 2003

[Richard C]

I am writing a IIS6 Application Pool Recycle tool in VB.NET and I have it
fully working on a Windows 2003 Server or a Windows XP box.

It connects remotely using directory services using authentication (the
servers it is calling are in a workgroup) and I am able to recycle
application pools with no issue.

I put the same compiled code on a Vista box, and I get this:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
ErrorCode=-2147352570
Message="Unknown name. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020006
(DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME))"

InnerException:

I know what it's telling me.... its saying that the method does not
exist...but it does - it works fine on 2003 and XP. The code works, but not
in Vista.

Anybody seen this before? Is there something special I need to do for Vista?

Do you have the ADSI extensions for IIS 7 installed on your Vista box? I
believe those are optional for IIS 7 and may not be there by default.
Essentially, you can't use the ADSI provider or any of the core metabase
APIs (ABO) without those bits.

Otherwise I don't know.

If you want to program against IIS 7, there is a new API for doing
management of it that you might consider using instead.

Hi Joe,

Yes, I have them all installed. The issue is not with IIS7 though, I can
control fully the IIS7 instance on the Vista box - no problems. The issue is
with remote method calling of stop, start or recyling on the IIS6 instance.

Strange. Very strange.

No idea, especially if it is just this method and only in the remote case.

I will say that I don't see many people with actual IIS programmatic admin
experience actually monitoring any of the MS newsgroups, so I'd be surprised
if you can find a good answer here. You might try elsewhere. I know a bit
about the ADSI stuff in general and a lot about directory stuff/AD, but very
little about IIS. I was just trying to help because I figured no one would
answer anyway (which was true). :)

Did you ever find a resolution for this? I'm getting the same results in a
very similiar scenario and your post seems to be the only information I can
find.
