How To Avoid IE Hanging While Opening Virtual Server 2005 Administration Site
Hanging Of Internet Explorer (IE) While Opening The Web Administration Site Of Virtual Server 2005
When you try to connect to an Administration Web site of Microsoft Virtual Server (VS) 2005 using IE6 or IE7 and select to Switch Virtual Server for getting connected to one more Virtual Server which do not have controlled allocation enabled, you will get an error message which read the following line:
“Virtual Server can not be connected to this . Access was denied”.
Such issues take place at that time when the Prompt for user name and password security setting is enabled in Internet Explorer, while you are trying to connect to the VS Administration Website.
When you try to open Web Administration Website of Virtual Server 2005, Internet Explorer (IE) will hang while the webpage loads, and it will stop responding further. On the other hand, Windows OS Event Viewer will show error log 0×80070005, usually this error is meant by error Access is Denied.
This problem occurs since the Service account of the Network used by Virtual Server 2005 does not have the necessary permission to mark Service Principal Names (SPNs).
With the help of Service Principal Names, a client can individually identify the occurrence of the service in Active Directory. Due to this, the VSSRVC.EXE which has SPN on “NetBIOS_Name” plus “vssrvc/Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name” can not be recorded in Dynamic or Active Directory.
If you want to find out whether Service Principal Names are recorded, you have to type the command “Setspn” (type without quotes) in command prompt.
For an example as follows: -
“setspn -L NetBIOS_Name”
The registered Service Principal Names in Active Directory will display the following output:-
“vssrvc/NetBIOS_Name
vssrvc/Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name
vmrc/NetBIOS_Name:VMRC_Port
vmrc/Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name:VMRC_Port”
In case when SPN is not recorded in Active Directory, you have to try to re-register the given SPNs. Type “setspn” the command using command prompt to repair or resolve the problem.
Following is the syntax given to use “setspn” command for adding the SPN: -
“setspn -a service/name hostname” (Syntax is without quotes)
In the above syntax “service/name” is nothing but the SPN which has to be added. The hostname will be the authentic host name of computer object, which has to be updated.
