SOA Agent Configuration Wizard Fails Intermittently for IIS 7.x SOA Agent on Windows Server 2008 (142248)

Unattended configuration sometimes fails when attempting to configure the SOA Agent for Web Servers to work with IIS 7.x on Windows Server 2008. In this case, the following message is written to the log:

“Unable to write to applicationHost.conf file. Please Restart the IIS Webserver and redo the configuration.”

This issue occurs when the configuration wizard cannot stop IIS before it attempts to modify the IIS applicationHost.file and therefore cannot edit the file because it is still in use.

Workaround

Stop IIS 7.x before attempting unattended configuration of the SOA Agent.
