无法在Windows Server 2008 R2上的IIS7.5中使用net.pipe绑定

Question

I'm trying to configure net.pipe bindings on the server between 2 processes (on the same box). I have all this working locally in Windows 7, but on the production server (Windows Server 2008 R2), it fails to work.

I can verify that I have:

• Added a net.pipe binding to the IIS "Web Site" (added * as the information).
• Added net.pipe to the list of bindings in "advanced settings" for the IIS "Web Site".

That's all that was required on my dev machine. Is there anything else I need to do?

The error I get is from a simple console app test client:

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://nameOfService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. ---> System.IO.PipeException: The pipe endpoint 'net.pipe://nameOfService.svc' could not be found on your local machine.`

Here's some configs:

Client:

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <netNamedPipeBinding>
            <binding name="NetNamedPipeBinding_IWebAppNotifyService">
                <security mode="None" />
            </binding>
        </netNamedPipeBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="net.pipe://nameOfService.svc"
            binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="NetNamedPipeBinding_IWebAppNotifyService"
            contract="ServiceReference2.IWebAppNotifyService" name="NetNamedPipeBinding_IWebAppNotifyService" />
    </client>
</system.serviceModel>

Server:

<bindings>
  <netNamedPipeBinding>
    <binding name="WebAppNotifyServiceBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" transactionFlow="false" transactionProtocol="OleTransactions" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxBufferSize="65536" maxConnections="10" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536">
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
      <security mode="None">
      </security>
    </binding>
    <binding name="ScannerManagerCommandBinding">
      <security mode="None" />
    </binding>
  </netNamedPipeBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="WebAppNotifyServiceBehavior">
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
  <service name="MonitoringApp.Notifier.WebAppNotifyService" behaviorConfiguration="WebAppNotifyServiceBehavior">
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="net.pipe://nameOfService.svc" />
        <add baseAddress="http://nameOfService" />
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
    <endpoint address="" binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="WebAppNotifyServiceBinding" contract="X.Y.IWebAppNotifyService" />
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>
</services>

Update:

The app pool associated with the web site that hosts the net.pipe binding is running under the "NetworkService" user, if that makes a difference.

I have enabled Non-HTTP activation under Windows Features for .NET 3.5.1, although this is running under .NET 4.

Answer 1

• Have you enabled the windows services Net.Pipe Listener Adapter and Windows Process Activation Service ?
• Have you enabled net.pipe binding on the site level?
• Have you added net.pipe protocol on the vdir level?

Answer 2

I was getting the same EndPointNotFound error on net.pipe://localhost/ for the SharePoint Secure Token Service.

It worked on my dev system but not production.

For me, it was because the Dell Change Auditor Agent service was running on my production servers.
