    After installing ForeFront on a x64 Windows 2003 IIS Machine, and applications pools are recycled, or IIS stopped and started I run into issues with all non SharePoint sites. on the server...  All sites get Service Unavailable.  In the event log:

     

     

    Event Type: Error

    If I remove the isapi module from the root, and apply it to only the SharePoint web sites, everything seems okay.  I haven't yet, tested if ForeFront AV actually is catching any virii...

    I have encountered this error as well (with similar hardware/software).  On one installation everything worked fine, but on the other, I received the above error.  It appears that the installer did not assign the appropriate permissions on the following directory: 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Forefront Security\SharePoint

    On the successful installation, the IIS_WPG and the IIS_ADMIN_WPG groups were granted Read & Execute and List folder contents permissions on this folder.  Once these permissions were added, it resolved the issue.

    However, I am still unsure why this occured on one server and not the other...

    Hi Rory,

     

     

    When I checked the access...

     

    WSS_ADMIN_WPG and WSS_WPG were granted access.   However, IIS_WPG was not.   I do not have a group called IIS_ADMIN_WPG on any of the machines.

    Greetings,

      I also had this "Service Unavailable" problem, and I finally "fixed" it.

      I was migrating my Exchange 2003 / LCS 2005 machine to a 64-bit W2K3 Exchange 2007 / OCS 2007 machine.
      I installed Exchange 2007 without a problem, and everything worked fine.
      Whenever I installed OCS 2007, immediately after the installation completed successfully, IIS would still seem to be working, but as soon as a client would try to access any webpage on it ( OWA, for example ), IIS would reply a "Service Unavailable".
      I found out the two reasons for this:

      1 - I forgot to "Allow" the Active Server Pages, in IIS->Server->Web Service Extensions, which is required for OCS 2007;
      2 - IIS 6.0 on a W2K3 SP1 machine works in either full 64-bit mode, or a 32-bit on 64-bit mode (WOW64). Exchange 2007 needs it to be in 64-bit for it's web services, while OCS 2007 needs it to be WOW64...

      I ended up separating the two services into two different boxes, one 64-bit for Exchange, and one 32-bit for OCS.

    I hope this helps someone
