We have an issue on the production site and it throws 500 error. When I checked the 'Event Viewer', I saw the below error logged:-
The description for Event ID 11 from source Microsoft-Windows-IIS-IISManager cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
IISMANAGER_MODULE_INITIALIZATION_THREW_EXCEPTION

The version details are:-
IIS versoin 8.5.9600
ARR 3.0.1750
WebFarm Framework: 1.1.0490
I tried re-installing the ARR module on the server but I do not see the 'Server Farms' node in IIS even after installation.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
The exception seems to imply that the module hasn't been properly installed. You can install it via the Web Platform Installer, or if your Installer had become corrupt, locate the file on a known good installation and copy it over.
From memory the module is located in C:\windows\system32\inetsrv

I just registered for an online 365 trial version.
I copy-pasted the Walkthrough sample code appearing here, and changed the Url, Username and Password values inside the App.config, so that they have the relevant values.
However, I get an exception when calling xrm.SaveChanges():

Note that the same happens for any call to the service (e.g., xrm.Create().
I searched for this on the web, and people say it is caused because of wrong time sync. Well, at least in the CRM Settings area, the time zone is correct, so I don't what to do.
The Xrm.Client is deprecated and as others have mentioned, the way to connect via a console app is CrmServiceClient, which is in the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector library.
Using NuGet you can get the Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly package and you'll be off to the races.
Here are a couple other helpful links:

And here's a connection string example for Dyn365 online:
<add name="dev26" connectionString="Url=https://dev26.crm.dynamics.com; Username=user#dev26.onmicrosoft.com; Password=Pass; AuthType=Office365" />
From the connection string given in Microsoft's walkthrough, you must also
remove Domain=CONTOSO
add AuthType=Office365
I've just upgraded one of my clients from a very old version of our software to the latest version. While the Windows application side of the software is working, the new MVC application is getting the error above. Both the Windows and Web application uses .NET Remoting to connect to the server components.
I've searched the web for this error but all I can find are DNS related issues (which is also reflected in the stack traces posted) so mine doesn't seem to be related to DNS issues. Also, the web application in this case is on the same server as the server components that the app is connecting to plus my Windows and Web application uses exactly the same config file. Windows application works from both the server self and over VPN connection.
Here is my stack trace:

This is an established application and the first time I've gotten this error (only with this specific client). The server was still on .NET 4.0 so I upgraded to .NET 4.5.1 (which the latest version of my app requires) and restarted the server which caused my Windows app to work but the web still doesn't.
Ok, no idea what happened. After the weekend, I tried the web application again and it just worked. No server restarts or updates to the server at all. (Although, I did restart the server last week after installing .NET 4.5.1, but that didn't resolve the issue either).
Sorry, but it seems this might not help anyone else with a similar error.
I have an MVC3 application using the Entity Framework. I haven't used this application in about a year. Recently, I opened it up on a new PC and tried to run in debug mode and hit the following exception/stack trace in debug. The main exceptions seem to be "Cannot attach the file as database" and "The underlying provider failed on Open". I searched for these errors on stack overflow and the answers I found don't seem to match this situation. For example, one of the answers for "Cannot attach the file as database" suggests that an old version of the db might be lying around on the local db, but I don't see any databases in the local database when I browse to localdb in visual studio.
I am looking for guidance about what to investigate next to troubleshoot this issue. Any suggestions?
The actual code where it fails is:
var currentHunt = (from ph in this.repo.GetAllPuzzleHunts()
orderby ph.PuzzleHuntId descending
select ph).FirstOrDefault();
This is the first time the web app tries to get data from the db via the Entity Framework.
FWIW this machine has Entity Framework 6.0, and I'm using Visual Studio 2012.

Thanks for your help!
Try it this way:

Open the "Developer Command Propmpt for VisualStudio" under your
start/programs menu. Run the following commands:
sqllocaldb.exe stop v11.0
sqllocaldb.exe delete v11.0
After that, try to Start your MVC Application
Check your connection strings. If you're on a new computer you may need to change them somewhat or open a port in the firewall.
One simple way to get the proper connection string is to connect to the DB Server and view the properties.
Open SQL Server Object Explorer (View > SQL Server Object Explorer)
Connect to the DB Server (Click "Connect to Server" and enter "(LocalDB)\v11.0")
Right click on the appropriate DB and select "Properties"
View the connection string

I think it started happening after enabling Hyper-V. The app runs fine and is designable in Blend just fine.
I'm using quite a few 'pre-release' builds of some features. The project references another project in the solution (a portable class library) with a pre-release portable version of Mvvm Light, along with the Silverlight async library (Microsoft.bcl.async) and the PCL Contrib.
I installed my copy of VS 2012 in 'parallel' with VS 2010, and did not upgrade it from the beta version.
Anyway, has anyone else run in to this?
Did you previously have pre-release SDK installed? If so, it sounds like you are hitting the issue described here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wptools/thread/7398ad5e-c2fc-40a8-85e7-37e6a6cca834.
The Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 fixed this issue. Closing as answered. If you're still having this issue, make sure you update VS. If it still doesn't work after that, then your issue has a different cause than mine unfortunately.
This was edited for grammar.
I had a similar issue with an earlier version of 2012, in one case these instructions helped.
I'm struggling to the maximum trying to get DB deployment done from a remote client.
Let me fire you some details.
Problem
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Member 'ClassName' was not found.
Occurs during a publish to the remote IIS server from Visual studio 2012.
Server
Windows Server 2008 R2
IIS 7.5
SQL SERVER 2012 Express
What goes wrong
I select publish on my web application (within visual studio 2012 / windows 8 pro)
I publish my web application no problem to my remote web server (confirmed web page deployed and is accessible from www).
I open publish again, this time selecting DB publish.
Exception occurs on the server, message is propagated to client.
=> application publishing is fine, just not DB.
What i've tried
Every guide, faq, step by step guide I can find online.
I've uninstalled and re-installed all the deployment packages for IIS (DAC framework, Web Deployment 3, Web deployment tools 2.1 - server)
Re install all client side DAC libraries on client.
Uninstall, re-install, rebooting, punching my keyboard and monitor (not my main DELL ultrasharp 24..just my 21" acer thing).
Nothing is helping (except the keyboard punching..which made me feel slightly relieved), i've just spent 10 hours, no joy. Service Delegation entries are setup for the correct DAC based provider.
Seems to be some fundamental problem, based on my understanding, an assembly is being reflected on, and is expecting to have a member called 'ClassName'..but it doesn't exist..i.e....the assembly must not be in sync with the consumer.
But there are no clear guidelines on line to confirm/ diagnose this..and nothing in the exception log except for this error (see below).
I've found a similar post on here with the same exception message, except the guys suggestions didn't help for me at all - tried them.
Please help, i've turned to chocolate biscuits and plain hambugers to drown out the pain...i'll need to drown myself again tomorrow at the gym (this time in sweat).
Thank you,
Karl
