WinHTTP Proxy Service Stopping on Server 2019
I am having an issue with a few of our Windows server 2019 VMs. Every week weeks one of the boxes would suddenly be unable to send HTTP requests. Upon further investigations into the Event Viewer, we found this entry around the start of the issue. The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: The endpoint mapper database entry could not be created. Has anyone ever had this issue or knows a fix? We need to restart the VM for it to rectify as the WinHTTP Service refuses to start using the services control panel. The services on those box support 24/7 products and we don't have anyone on call to restart the box at a moments notice.

Hello, I'm an IT administrator in a company and working with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. I was looking for an alternative to ISA Server or Forefront TMG to control and limit our user's internet usage and bandwidth or other features. I'm amazed that Microsoft has stopped supporting such a great service!!! Is there any alternative or solution from Microsoft??! if it's not, then what is it??
Setting netsh winhttp proxy on windows server 2019
Hello Team, let me explain my scenario here, I want to setup winhttp proxy for windows server 2019 and 2016 through PowerShell and use the same. what i already did and not worked: 1. i simply used netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="value1" bypass-list="value2" it sets the proxy for winhttp but when the next command of invoke-webrequest comes, it uses internet explorer proxy and ignores my winhttp proxy. 2. I setup the registry keys for HKCU for internet explorer and then try to acquire it from IE: REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d "value1" /f REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyOverride /t REG_SZ /d "value2" /f netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie the above commands picking up the registry values corectly but internet explorer is not acquiring them and netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie , still results in direct access connection. i have tried putting start iexplore/Taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe after setting the values in registry but still it does not work I have even tried with all registry settings REG add 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d "value1"/f REG add 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyOverride /t REG_SZ /d "value2" /f REG add 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG add 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d "value1" /f REG add 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' /v ProxyOverride /t REG_SZ /d "value2"/f any suggestion on this?? how i can set the winhttp proxy correctly and use my next command to use that only for future connection.
Upgrading a Server 2012 R2 to 2025
Hi everyone, sadly I was unable to locate any kind of search feature so I apologize in advance for potentially repeating this question. I have an old VM with Server 2012 R2 with a self contained AD, DNS and a connected OneIdentity Manager. I want to upgrade that system to something modern. Since Server 2025 advertises a migration path from 2012 R2 I thought that would be easy to do, but I can't even find any place to get an ISO to upgrade. Naturally I'd like to verify if I can upgrade before shelling out a couple hundred euros on a license. Any suggestions what to do? Regards, Justus Wingert
My task is abruptly closed and i get an error with code 2147750687 in task scheduler?
I have a task set to run every 10 mins daily in a prod environment. The machine is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit system. The task basically runs an exe that process some XML files, transform them and put it in a different folder. Recently I saw that some XML files failed, the log file just ended abruptly. We tried to replicate and most of the common exception was caught. So we knew it was not an exception because the application would have caught it, logged it and ended gracefully. This seemed more like when you end the application in task manager and the log just stopped. As part of the analysis I found that whenever the file failed, there was a warning and an error entry in task scheduler log. The warning states: Task Scheduler did not launch task "Task name" because instance "{41a1167e-2092-434f-80e4-ef83e03fc7e1}" of the same task is already running. The error states: Task Scheduler failed to start "Task name" task for user "domain\account". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147750687. The task is getting triggered at intervals of 10 minutes. So at the 10th minute, it gets triggered and instead of waiting for the running instance to get over, it crashes that thread even though we had set 'Do not start new instance' in the settings. An online search led me to this hotfix: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2617046/duplicate-triggers-are-generated-incorrectly-in-scheduled-tasks-in-win The symptom described is exactly what I am facing but the symptom says that this occurs when 2305420 is installed. I checked the updates installed in the system and it doesn't hdoesn't05420 installed. Can this issue occur even though KB2305420 is not installed? Can I run the hotfix to solve this issue? Is there any way to verify that this is indeed the issue? Is there a workaround for this? I read we can try creating a new task and delete the old oneWelcome to the Windows Server Developer Community!
I want to extend a warm welcome to all the developers and application administrators that have been joining the community, this is an exciting time for me and hopefully for all of you as well. I am proud to have contributed to each release of Windows Server since 2003 but I am especially proud to be part of the team as we go from shipping every 2-3 year with previews every six months to shipping fully supported releases every six months and insider builds twice a month. I’m also honored to have the job of making Windows Server the operating system developers are excited to build software for. My career in software started largly by accident – I needed a job and the Windows team needed someone to test firewire on Windows XP, while I loved computers when I started it was a job to pay my bills while I got a business degree. Three months later I was learning how to debug and write Windows drivers and actually writing bug fixes that shipped in Windows. Having that global impact hooked me on software development and I started taking CS classes (even becoming a “Microsoft Certified Application Developer for Visual Studio .NET”) and dropped out of business school (much to my parent’s chagrin). I’m excited about the opportunities we have in front of us and I love that we get to work with a community to bring these opportunities to life. -TaylorIIS strange NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON with Chrome browsers
I need some help troubleshooting why, when using a Chrome browser user gets error Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' while using an Edge browser users do not. I have multiple web application hosted on that server, all intranet based using windows authentication with impersonation. Another strange observation, when Chrome users connect to the web app they receive this error, now if they open same site in Edge, they authenticate just fine and then on refreshing the Chrome browser they are able to authenticate in Chrome.... I have a few users that can't connect in either browser. Here is my configuration. Using IIS 10 and SQL Server. The app and db servers have Kerberos enabled using a service account. Some key IIS settings: App Pool - V4.0 Classic using service account, provisioned for Kerberos. Load user Profile is set to False Authentication: (The following are enabled) ASP.NET Impersonation - Identity to Impersonate - Authenticated User Windows Authentication - Advanced Settings Accept Extended Protection and Enable Kernel-mode auth Providers set to Negotiate then NTLM App Settings: system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication authPersistSingleRequest = False Enabled = True useAppPoolCredentials = True userKernelMode = True Any guidance greatly appreciated.
