Error while running Business Portal Prerequisites checker for Dynamics GP 10.0

When you run the Business Portal Prerequisite Checker in Business Portal for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0, you may encounter the following error messages.

• .Net Framework 3.0 failed - .Net Framework 3.0 is not installed
  
• SSL Enabled failed - SSL must be enabled on this site
• ASP.NET Version failed - ASP.NET Version: 1.1.4322. Requirement: Version 2.0
• Office Server failed - Office Server is not installed

Dealing with them one on:

.Net Framework: You may safely ignore this and 'ASP.NET Version failure' message if you have .Net Framework 2.0 or 3.0 already installed on the computer.

SSL: You do not have to have SSL enabled to install Business Portal. You can safely ignore this one too.

Office Server: MOSS 2007 is not required as long as you have Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 installed and Prerequisite checker has a status passed on the Web Server. You're safe to ignore this too.

Made that easier for you? I'm sure. Have a great day!!

When I requested the Sharepoint's Content Management site URL, I received the following message which obviously made me question, Why?

You may also face this issue while requesting for SharePoint Central Administration site or SharePoint Shared Services site.


For a change, it didn't take me long to find a solution.
Here is how you go about it.

• Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services > Application Pool
• Right click the Application Pool for the Content Management (or Central Administration or Shared Services., whatever the case may be) site and click on Properties
• Click on the Identity tab and re-write the Administrator's password
• Then say Hooray
