We're looking at migrating to HTTPS for our main file share distribution point from SMB. We've used SMB since we began with Jamf and have just had that port open on our state's firewall. Recently they've told us no more on that and have deleted/remove the rule, our only choice going forward would be to use port 8080. So, as of now our Mac's cannot mount our file share and get packages when off of our network. Not the end of the world but it was handy to have policies work from home, especially overnight. We followed the steps to migrate to HTTPS listed in
however, we get a 503: Service Unavailable message when testing a download in browser and also when a Mac tries mounting to run a policy with a package. I spent several hours troubleshooting different settings as well as trying different read-only accounts, recreating certificates, checking the inetpub log folder and Event Viewer (neither indicate any local errors), etc. Nothing seems to be wrong. Most of the troubleshooting recommendations point to the main problem being the app pool not running, which appears to default to a stopped state if it is crashing, but it is running the entire time with no problems. I can stop the app pool and then get a page not found error, so it's reaching the the server like it should. This is a fresh install of IIS on this server, but currently we have IIS uninstalled again and are continuing to use the SMB file share in the meantime. Is there something I'm missing?
