FX:{813c1b01-6624-4922-9c6c-03c315646584} - SBS 2008

I just finished an SBS 2008 install - everything working perfectly. The last item was to setup Dial-in VPN server. Fired up RASS, activated it and performed the required configuration (something I have done many times!). When the wizard finished and RRAS was enabling itself, the service "Routing and Remote Access" hung.

I rebooted the server - when it came back up the following services kept crashing:
• Application Experience
• IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules
• IP Helper
• Secondary Logon
• Server
• Shell Hardware Detection
• System Event Notification Service
• Task Scheduler
• User Profile Service
• Windows Management Instrumentation
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service
• Network Policy Server
• Routing and Remote Access
• TPM Base Service
• Windows Update

When I started Routing and Remote Access I got the following message.



Everytime this came up all services would crash. If I did not start this service, all services above would still crash approximately every 3 minutes.

I also experianced the following errors.

Could not find a part of the path

I also had this weird system folder appearing in Computer.



Resolution

I started off by completely removing routing and remote access and all network policy server components - however this did not help the situation.





I did some reading around and found out this issue can be caused by many things. Here are some links to problems other people have been experiancing:

I happened to have the same problem as Jared Heinrichs:

http://jaredheinrichs.com/mmc-error-18ea3f92-d6aa-41d9-a205-2023400c8fbb.html

I navigated to the following directory:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG



I renamed the "machine.config" file to "machine.config.bad". I then made a copy of the "machine.config.default" file and renamed it to "machine.config".



After rebooting the SBS 2008 server it came up fine with all services started!

However now when users log into Outlook Web Access they get the following error due to the machine.config being restored!

Outlook Web Access encountered an unexpected error and was unable to handle your request.

Exception message: The 'system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment' configuration section cannot be created. The machine.config file is missing information.

To resolve this problem with OWA the following command was run:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>ServiceModelReg.exe -i



Followed by an IISReset



OWA is now working!
