[itdiscuss] Vista Problem

[blloyd at buskercom.com]

For all you Vista buffs out there, I have a problem that defies being
solved.  We recently installed an application on our file/print server
that interacts with our new Sharp MX-3110n copier/printer.  (It is
custom developed by DocuTeam.)  The application uses IIS to provide for
special file sharing and advanced scanning capabilities.  

 

This morning I discovered that our file server's system drive was
filling up and almost completely out of space.  It turns out that IIS
has been creating log files each day that are 500 to 700 mb in size.
When you look at the files you see that IIS is logging the connection
from the Vista machine.  It is logging a record at least every minute or
more.  

 

Now my theory is that the Vista machine is taking advantage of a new
service on the network.  When I look at the network traffic the Vista
machine is accessing file shares the normal way but it is also
establishing a port 80 connection, thereby causing IIS to create the log
files.  Since this is only happening with the Vista machine I would like
to find a way to keep Vista from "taking advantage" of this new network
service.  Anyone run into this kind of problem before?

 

Thanks,
