I use the Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager class to manage a web site in a windows service.
I use impersonation in my code, with an admin user, the user has the right to modify my applicationHost.config but I always get the following error when I do a .CommitChanges();.
There is an example of my code.
using (ServerManager svr = ServerManager.OpenRemote(args.IISName))
{
Site currentSite = svr.Sites.Where(item => item.Id == args.WebSite.Id).FirstOrDefault();
currentSite.Applications[0].VirtualDirectories[0].PhysicalPath = args.WebSite.PhysicalPath;
svr.CommitChanges();
}
I find this solutions, but my dcom properties object is lock
Unhandled exception has occured in
your application. If you click
Continue, the application will ignore
this error and attempt to continue. If
you click Quit, the application will
close immediately. FileName
\?\UNC[MY
PATH]\applicationHost.config Error:
Cannot write configuration file due to
insufficient permissions
My setup is Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5, framework 3.5 and my applicationHost.config is on a SAN
What could I try ?
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
To unlock your dcom properties object, you just have 2 steps to perfom.
Step 1 – Grant you ‘Full Control’ on the ‘Ahadmin.dll’ :
and add your NT user or an admin group that you’re member and click ‘Apply’
And than return to the ‘Security’ tab to grant you ‘Full control’
Step 2 – Grant you ‘Full Control’ on the registry key :
folder of this key and open properties box
If you’re not able to grant you ‘Full control’, goto the ‘Owner’ tab
and add your NT user or an admin group that you’re member and click ‘Apply’
And than return to the ‘Security’ tab to grant you ‘Full control’
You can now edit your dcom properties object
If the dcom porperties object is still lock, just wait some minutes and try again.
After that, you just have to follow the procedure here.
