Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / January 2004Web Administrator Problems
Hello, We are migrating our servers from W2K ro W2003. I've got everything running except the web administrator. It will not run from either localhost or remote on SSL or w/o SSL. The snap in works fine. http://localhost:8080/wmssecure/index.asp loads fine however when I select the server name (it is the only one on the list) a second page loads and which says SERVICE UNAVAILABLE with the message: The Windows Media Services service was unavailable. Check that it is installed on the specified computer. WMS is loaded and working fine on the system. Anyone have any idea what I can do? Thanks. Hi: Few things we can check here. First, can you start your web services "http://localhost:8080/default.asp"? If not, please check your machine IIS for WMS Web services was set to "start" in Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> IIS ->Web Site -> Windows Media Administion Site. Alsos check your IP does not conflict with other ports. The remote admin uses Client -> ASP -> WMS connection to do the job. If WMS is on the ASP box, then probably is security setting are invalid (Account should be Administrator accout) If WMS is on a remote box (from ASP), then you must NOT use "Intergrated Windows authentication" default option, which option is under Computer ->Management -> Services and Applications -> IIS ->Web Site -> Windows Media ->Administion Site->Properties windows. Instead you should use "Basic Authentication" option. These are due to the design based on DCOM features. There could be a tlb problem that?s preventing the WMSASPADMIN.DLL from connecting to WMSServer.WMSServer.9. You can create a simple VBS script to create a server object and ask its name. If this failes then you should try and hand-register wmsservertypelib.dll. Which is located under c:\windows\system32\windows media\server\wmsservertypelib.dll Please try it, see if it helps. Thanks for using Windows Media Services 9 services David Chen Digital Media Division This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights David, Hello and thanks for your reply. I was wondering if you could answer a couple of quick questions. When you say: If WMS is on the ASP box, then probably is security setting are invalid Account should be Administrator account) ... what account are you refering to? The account I log into the box with? I'm still trying to get it to run locally and I am logged in as the admin. Would you happen to have a sample of the script you refer to here: There could be a tlb problem that's preventing the WMSASPADMIN.DLL from connecting to WMSServer.WMSServer.9. You can create a simple VBS script to create a server object and ask its name. I wrote this: set srvobj = createobject ("WMSServer.server.9","media20") wscript.echo srvobj.Name Which returns "media20" (the correct server name). Do you ave any other ideas? I've actually had to stop our upgrade process until we come up with a solution to this.

The VBScript you are using is correct. that tells me WMSASPADMIN.DLL was registered correctly. David Chen Digital Media Division This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights David, Thanks for the information. Okay, if I am logged in as Admin and WMSASPADMIN.DLL is registered correctly, do you have any other idea what is wrong. I can't get logged into the machine. Could this be because I changed the computer name at one point? I changed it prior to installing windows media services so I seriously doubt it is the issue.
