"save as" pop up box does not allow me to save the document.

Solution:
The default "Save As" dialog in Acrobat DC is different than the dialog that you've had in earlier releases of Acrobat, it also allows you to save to the cloud and previous locations you've saved files to. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to "the cloud", it runs into problems. You may want to try to turn this feature off to see if that brings your save as dialog back: Open up Acrobat's preferences, then go to the "General" category and deselect "Show online storage when saving files":

Persits.MailSender 'Access is denied'

If you happen to be using the Persits mail component and you get the 'Access is denied' exception:
Persits.MailSender.4 error '800a0011'
Access is denied.
/pages/somepage.asp, line 208
You'll probably find, from the Persits support site or elsewhere, that the queue folder needs to have increased permissions. It doesn't however tell you where this is. So here is the default install path for version 4:
C:\Program Files\Persits Software\AspEmail\Queue
As far as the permissions go I have found that granting Read and Write permissions to the accessing account on that folder is sufficient. In IIS 6 the accessing account for .NET will be the identity of the App Pool assigned to the site (if you are not doing impersonation) which is the NetworkService account by default. For Classic ASP it will be the anon account (Which by default is the IUSR_xxx) for anon access or the user/group if you are doing other types of auth.

Exporting and Importing Sites and App Pools from IIS 7 and 7.5

Exporting and Importing Sites and App Pools from IIS 7 and 7.5

When using multiple IIS server in a Load Balanced Environment it will  be alot of work to create all your website twice with the same settings on each webserver. Therefor it is possible to export and import your configuration from one webserver to the other. This will also be usefull when your upgrading from IIS 7 (Windows Server 2008) to IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2).
When you create a website in IIS 7 or 7.5 a unique application pool will also be created and used by this website, that’s why you need to import these application pools first on the second webserver before importing the website(s).
To Export the Application Pools on IIS 7 :
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list apppool /config /xml > c:\apppools.xml
This will export all the application pools on your webserver, therefor you need to edit the apppools.xml and remove the application that you do not need to import for example:
  • DefaultAppPool
  • Classic .NET AppPool
  • SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool
And other apppools that already exist on the second webserver, appcmd doesn’t skip already existing apppools, it just quit’s and doesn’t import any.
To import the Application Pools:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /in < c:\apppools.xml
All the AppPools in the xml will be created on your second webserver.
To Export all your website:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list site /config /xml > c:\sites.xml
This will export all the websites on your webserver, therefor you need to edit the sites.xml and remove the websites that you do not need to import for example:
  • Default Website
And all other websites that already exist on the second webserver.
To Import the website:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add site /in < c:\sites.xml
It’s also possible to export a single website or application pool all you need to do is add the name of the Application Pool or Website to the command line:
To export/import a single application pool:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list apppool “MyAppPool” /config /xml > c:\myapppool.xml
Import:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /in < c:\myapppool.xml
To export/import a single website:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list site “MyWebsite” /config /xml > c:\mywebsite.xml
Import:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add site /in < c:\mywebsite.xml
