FIX: You receive a Stop 0x0000007e error message on a blue screen when the AppPoolCredentials attribute is set to true and you use a domain account as the application pool identity in IIS 7.0

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Web application that is running in Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 on a Windows Vista-based computer or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer.
  • You have both Windows Authentication and Kernel Mode authentication enabled.

    Note This is by default.
  • You have the useAppPoolCredentials attribute set to true in the authentication section in the Applicationhost.config file. You may have added this attribute to allow the use of Kerberos authentication when you use a domain account for the application pool identity. For example, this attribute must be added when you are running a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server site. The authentication section resembles the following.

    <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" useKernelMode="true" useAppPoolCredentials="true"/>
    Note The Applicationhost.config file is located in the Drive:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config folder.
In this scenario, the operating system may crash. Additionally, you receive a Stop 0x0000007e error message on a blue screen.

Note This problem typically occurs on Web servers that host Office SharePoint Server 2007. This problem occurs because of the configuration requirements of Office SharePoint Server 2007 when Kerberos authentication is used. However, the problem may occur for any kind of Web site that is using Kernel Mode authentication, Kerberos authentication, and a domain account as the custom application pool identity.

Workaround

To work around this problem, disable Kernel Mode authentication by using one of the following methods.

Method 1

Set the value of the useKernelMode element to false in the appropriate windowsauthentication section in the ApplicationHost.config file. 
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" useKernelMode="false"/>

Method 2

Disable Kernel Mode authentication by using IIS Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type
    inetmgr.exe, and then click OK.
  2. In IIS Manager, expand
    server name, expand Web sites, and then click the Web site that you want to change.
  3. Double-click Authentication, click Windows Authentication to highlight it, and then click Advanced Settings in the Action pane.
  4. Click to clear the Enable Kernel-mode authentication box.
After you disable Kernel Mode authentication, you must restart the HTTP service. This will stop IIS. Run the following commands at an elevated command prompt.
  • NET STOP HTTP
  • NET START HTTP
  • IISRESET /START
Note These commands will stop the HTTP service. When you stop the HTTP service, you receive a warning message that the services that depend on the HTTP service will also be stopped. Take careful note of these dependent services so that you can determine whether you want to continue and so that you can restart them after you restart the HTTP service. The services that depend on the HTTP service will depend on the Windows roles and applications that are currently installed on the computer.
