Remarks

The SubStatusCode property is only supported with the integrated pipeline mode in IIS 7.0 and at least the .NET Framework version 3.0. When you set the SubStatusCode property, the status is logged on IIS 7.0 if failed-request tracing is configured. Independent of whether tracing is configured, the code is never sent as part of the final response to the request. For more information, see Troubleshooting Failed Requests Using Failed Request Tracing in IIS 7.0.
