Framework Unregistered after Reboot

Guest

Hi,

There are three workstations in the group where I work that are constantly
having the .NET framework uninstalled if we reboot.

In order to get the local ASP.NET applications running again we have to run
aspnet_regiis -i and iisreset.

The question is what could be causing this? There is group policy in
effect, perhaps Active Directory could be causing this? Any recent viruses
that would cause this behaviour? I did a full scan that turned up nothing...

This is annoying, but if it happened to our servers it would obviously be a
much bigger problem...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
FD

Hi

Based on my understanding, everytime you call aspnet_regiis -i and iisreset
after you reboot the machine, all is fine.
So we know that the framework file is there.

So have you tried if we reboot the machine, and run the winform
applicatoin, did the problem persists?

You may try to check the MetaBase.bin or MetaBase.xml in the path below
which depends on what versions of IIS you are using.
You can compare if the file has been changed after asp.net application is
running and after you reboot.
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv

Also how did you deploy the .net framework? using group policy or just
manually install?
Have you installed any system tool which will recover the data after you
reboot?

Hi Peter,

The Framework was originally installed from the Visual Studio 2003 discs
when Visual Studio was installed.

It happened again this morning. But it seems that it might be limited to
cases where the user logs off or reboots at the end of the day, and then
leaves their machine on overnight...OR...if they have not rebooted and they
reboot in the middle of the day.

After running the "aspnet_regiis -i and iisreset" fix, I tried rebooting
today at mid-afternoon to see if I could get the error to appear again (I was
wanting to load the "un working" MetaBase into MetaView), and the error did
not re-appear.

Also, I thought that maybe it was a Group Policy that ran during reboot
after a certain period of time, so I ran GPUpdate with the /force, /boot and
/logoff switches. After each I tested the local web applications to see if
they remained up and they did. So it seems that perhaps Group Policay may be
eliminated from the list of causes?

I haven't had a chance to see if a Windows Forms application will run when
the error is present. I'll have to try that tomorrow before I run the "fix".


Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Common if the application is not installed with Group Policy, the Group
Policy should not affect the software.
Have you tried to check the last modified date of the metabase file after
you call aspnet_regiis -i and after you reboot and the problem reoccur?

Also it seems to be a hard reproduce scenario.
I suggest you contact MSPSS directly, because the problem needs to do more
detailed troubleshooting which is hard to do in newsgroup.
