A little something about everything

Error:

handler "extensionlessurlhandler-integrated-4.0" has a bad module "managedpipelinehandler" in its module list

The Fix:

You need to install ASP.NET 4.5 and Application Initialization.

You can do this via the Server Manager,

• Manage > Add Roles and Features
• Next > Next > Next
• Under Server Roles expand "Web Server (IIS)" > "Web Server" > "Application Development"
• Check the following
  • Application Initialization
  • Asp.net 4.5

That's it, your done.

This can be caused if you've changed your administrative account user to improve security on a server.

In order to resolve this issue you will need to stop the max view services in this order:

Then edit cimserver_planned.conf in your maxview storage manager, default path is:

C:\Program Files\Adaptec\maxView Storage Manager\pegasus\cimserver_planned.conf

open with text editor and alter the line from

enableAuthentication=true

to

enableAuthentication=false

It may look something like this: 

save and exit the conf file.

Now start the maxview Storage Manager services in this order:

Now you can login with your admin account correctly.

This can occur with with to many rdp connection attempts, someone may be trying to break into your computer/server. 

Check your resource monitor network usage, if you see many connections (10, 20+) with svchost.exe (termsvcs) then someone is attempting to break into the system.

Its best practice to limit RDP connections to specific IP addresses or via a VPN to prevent this. However, in some cases this may not be possible, so you may change the port number which may help mitigate the attack.

WARNING, Incorrectly editing your registry can cause your system to become non functional. Proceed at your own risk.

open regedit, and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" then select the PortNumber REG_DWORD entry and change the value data in Decimal to the new port number. Restart the service or system to make the change active.,

Solution #2

It can also be cause when a windows servers is running on vmware or hyper-v and in some cases with a stand alone server where hardware has changed. In most cases this error starts after virtual machine resource changes, or some windows updates.

The solution:

On the computer you are connecting to...

Open GPEdit

Then go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Security

Then choose Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections

Enable > then choose Security Layer: RDP

Reboot the system.

Done.
