SMS 2003 - Reporting Site - Increasing the ASP script timeout value
If you have ever run a particularly time-consuming SMS Web Report, you have probably run into the problem where IIS times out during the report. The error indicates that the ASP script has timed out.
The default timeout value is set to 90 seconds. You can increase this value within IIS Manager:
- Open IIS Manager
- Expand Web Sites
- Right-click on SMSReporting_SiteCode and select Properties
- Within the Virtual Directory tab, click on the Configuration button
- Within the Options tab, enter the desired timeout value in the ASP Script Timeou field (shown in seconds)
- Click OK, Click OK, then close the IIS Manager
This may take a few configurations to get the timing correct for your report, but it's well-worth the few seconds it takes to change it.
