Converting IIS logs time from UTC to local time

If you notice that the time logged in IIS logs does not match your server's local time, this is because IIS logs time in UTC (GMT) to conform with the W3C log format so if you are in a different time zone for example UTC -3 you will find the time 3 hours ahead in the logs.

To change that, you can choose a different log format from the IIS manager or you can convert the log file using Log Parser.

Download and install Log Parser then run the following command

LogParser.exe "SELECT DATE,TO_LOCALTIME(time) AS time,s-ip,cs-method,cs-uri-stem,cs-uri-query,s-port,cs-username,c-ip,cs(User-Agent),sc-status,sc-substatus,sc-win32-status,time-taken INTO c:\ayman\output.log FROM c:\ayman\input.log" -i:IISW3C -o:W3C

ACL permissions for IIS7 application pools

In W2K8R2/IIS7 application pools run by default under the builtin identitiy ApplicationPoolIdentity.
To grant ACL permissions to web applications running under these pools resolve names like this:

IIS APPPOOL\[APP POOL NAME]

Internet Information Services us running in 32-bit emulation mode.

You may get this error during MOSS or WSS installation on 64-bit Windows Server:

Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):

Internet Information Services is running in 32-bit emulation mode.

Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup.

To fix the problem disable 32-bit support in the default application pool settings.

From IIS Manager -> Application Pools -> Set Application Pool Defaults, set the "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to False.

Or run this from your Intepub/AdminScripts folder

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
