Hendrik is developing a custom transactional system. He has
written some Active Server Pages(ASP) program code on his computer and tested
his scripts on his own NT system. He asks the system administrator to move the ASP
code to the application server. The application server is running Internet
Information Server (IIS) 4.0 and Windows NT server 4.0. Upon execution, the ASP
program immediately stops processing and indicates several errors. Which is the
most likely cause of the problem?

A.
The application does not have permission on the correct directories to execute the
code.

B.
The ASP code only runs on Hendrik’s computer.

C.
One of the Hendrik’s company’s-workers accessed the code and changed it before
Hendrik could test it.

D.
The server does not have the correct configuration to run ASP code.

Explanation:
Moving the ASP application requires that the proper security settings
on IIS4 be set. Hendrik most likely had the required access permissions to run the

application on his desktop, but when moving the application security does not move
with it.
Incorrect Answers:
B: ASP code is transferable, and is supported on IIS4, so it should run anywhere.
C: This is possible, but highly unlikely, and we are looking for a likely cause.
D: The IIS 4 server is automatically capable to handle ASP without configuration.However, when
the application is defined, there are options for allowing scripts to run orscripts and executables to
run. If this is not set, then the application won’t run. This isdifferent than the server being unable to
support ASP code, this is a misconfiguration ofthe application definition. It is possible that the rest
of the server is running ASP code,while this application cannot run.
