Does a 500 internal server error (for .asp subfolder page) write logs by default and ways to troubleshoot

Question

services including http and .asp (diagnostic) page within a .net application throws 500 internal server error intermittently, the application pool running the service(s) uses a gmsa as an authentication identity. I checked event viewer on the server, but do not see any relevant logs.

validated the asp page on the server locally and below is a summary of detailed error info-

Detailed Error Information
Module IsapiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler ASPClassic
Error Code 0x800700aa

I have re set the authentication to the gmsa account, but the error still persists intermittently.

question is, by default, do these error get logged in event viewer or IIS logs? Any pointers to troubleshoot this issue?

Tried re setting the waveapplicationpool authentication to gmsa account. checked the accounts associated with (under security tab), the physical path and it matches with a working server.

Answer 1

There are many reasons for this error, you can try to change Application Pool Identity from the gMSA to system Built-in account.

If it still doesn't work, you can also use failed request tracking to see detailed error messages.
