I get a http 404 error when checking in my file

There seems to be a problem in both R2009 and R2010 Vault products where adding/checking in files of sizes starting with ~30MB and cannot be added to the Vault. The issue occurs in enviornments where ADMS is hosted on Internet Information Services 7.0 running in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista (Business, Enterprise, Ultimate) operating systems.

For example, a drag’n’drop of a ~40MB file into Autodesk Vault Manufacturing 2010 that is logged in to ADMS 2010 hosted by IIS 7.0 is blocked and results in the following error dialog (note that the failure event is not logged anywhere on the system or our vLogs).

 

The problem is that in IIS 7.0 on Windows 2008 Server/Vista, the web application will reject any file that is larger than 30 MB. This is a new default limitation of IIS. Microsoft seems to have released a solution (see below), but Autodesk is treating it as partial. You can use this procedure to manually increase the default limits by running the following commands.

Start by opening a Command Pompt using elevated Administrator privileges and run these two commands, on the server running IIS7 hosting ADMS web applications:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "Default Web Site/AutodeskDM/Services" /section:system.webServer/security/requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2147483647

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "Default Web Site/AutodeskDM/webclient" /section:system.webServer/security/requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2147483647

NOTE:  You would need to modify the Default Web Site string to a corresponding one if running Autodesk products on a site other than the default.  To determine which site AutodeskDM web applications reside under, run the following command: %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list apps.

NOTE: The above commands correct ADSK-only applications.  To globally address all sites, applications and virtual directories residing on the server hosting IIS7, run the command without the string in quotes (including the quotes).  For example: %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/security/requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:2147483647
