when starting Start / Program Files / Admin Tools / .Net Framework
Configuration
i'm getting an error message:
MMC - Snap-in failed to initialize .Net Framework Configuration

2.

when openning a sample aspx file in the IE, v.6 browser - i'm getting an
error:
"Server Application Unavailable. The web application you are attempting to
access on this web server is currently unavailable."

in win2k server Event Log:
aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. HRESULT for the failure: 80004005

is it a domain controller? If so, you need to do some special user setup

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...SecNetAP01.asp

see the section on running on a domain controller..

if not, try changing the user in processModel in your machine.config to
SYSTEM and see if it'll run. Note I don't recommend running this way
for security reasons, but this will help flush out if it is your user
(and I think this'll work even if you are a domain controller)
