DCom got error Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.....

I am running Windows 2000 with IIS 5.0 and I have ASP and .NET apps running
on that server, and I've been getting the error message in my event viewer:

DCom got error "Overlapped I/O operation is in progress" and was unable to
logon .\IWAM_servername in order to run the server.

Followed by another error:

The server stop serving requests for application __________ because of the
number of out of process component crashes exceeded a limit.

When this happens my ASP sites (all of them) report Server Application Error
at the url, however it doesn't affect my .net apps. I've been searching for
an answer for a long time, for now I run the syncIwam.vbs script but that
only fixes it for a short time before it happens again.

Thoughts?

Thanks for all the help in advance

Get the Event ID from the event viewer and go to www.eventid.net to look it
up.

I did that the event ID is  10004 and the source is DCOM. The syncIwam.vbs -
v
script does work, but it doesn't stop it from continuing to happen. I'm so
frustrated! I don't know what's causing this!


Thanks, Amy

Sorry, I've never come across this error. Have you tried Google? Maybe
someone at .inetserver.iis can help

Good news!

I have dealt with this problem various times.  For such a simple resolution,
 it is a very hard one to find.  It is **very** obscure on the MS site.

We have a "Test" box at a client which runs into this every few months.  I p
rinted out the resolution from MS and have it handy whenever I need it.  How
ever, I got the same thing on my laptop, but couldn't remember the trick.  I
n searching (for something I knew the answer to), I saw the question here an
d thought I would contribute.

The resolution to this problem is addressed in MSKB article 297989.  

The article is lengthy and sends you on all kinds of wild goose chases.  

Let me boil it down for you:
If you are running IIS 5, and, unless you have changed some critical passwor
ds in your environment recently (not likely), the resolution is fairly simpl
e.


Open a Command Prompt window
enter "cd C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts" (or wherever your inetpub is)
enter "cscript.exe synciwam.vbs -v"
test your website


Imagine something so simple being so hard to find!  It happens because IIS, 
DCOM, and MTS(?) all share the same password, but if they are not all synche
d...   Kablooey!

Going back, this resolution works if you see the following in your event log
:

DCOM; Event 10004; DCOM got error "Overlapped I/O operation is in progres
s..."
W3SVC; Event 36; "...the configured identity is incorrect..."


Try it...  You'll like it!

Hope this helps...  someone!

Well, it helped ME! Thanks alot. I think it is the result of a registry corr
uption that happened on my machine earlier. I couldn't run IIS at all. I uni
nstalled / reinstalled, it still didn't work. This solved it!

My workstation thanks you too.... :)

Thanks!  That was really useful.

One thing to note though.  When I tried running the synciwam.vbs script I ke
pt getting an 80110414 error.  I eventually tracked this down to the fact th
at the IWAM_MachineName account had been locked out, presumably by some proc
ess that had the wrong password.  I unlocked the account, re-ran the synciwa
m script, and hey presto!

Cheers,
Campbell

I'm getting the same problem. I don't see the solution here, can you
repost?
