Question

I\'m trying to fix an IIS 7 web server on Windows Server 2008. I don\'t know what caused this configuration to go bad. Any ideas on where to begin to look?

Had a similar problem that was due to the user password recently changing after having imported configuration.

There was an error when trying to connect. Do you want to retype your credentials and try again? Filename: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config

The solution was to change enabled from true to false in the redirection.config file in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
