Failed to access IIS metabase

Failed to access IIS metabase

Problem:

Running an IIS web application, and you get the Failed to access IIS metabase error.

Solution:

First thing to try:

Bring up a command prompt to your .net framework directory under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

Run: aspnet_regiis –i

If that doesn’t work, run:  aspnet_regiis -ga aspnet
