This issue also happens when the IUSR_ account is not set to have full control security (NTFS) permission on the ..\pccsrv\temp folder of the OfficeScan server's program directory.
If the access is removed, the IIS server's anonymous account used to access the OfficeScan web console will not be able to write anything to the TEMP directory. This also causes the browser connection to time out.
To restore full control security (NTFS) permission:
- On the OfficeScan server, go to the ..\pccsrv directory.
- Right-click the Temp folder and select Properties.
- Click Security tab and assign Modify permission to the IUSR_<servername> (where <servername> = hostname of the Microsoft IIS web server).
