Missing ASP.NET Tab (this time on Windows 2000)

I already wrote a post on this matter some time ago, but this week worked on the same problem on a Windows 2000 Server, of course 32 bit. Running aspnet_regiis -i did not help so we tried to run the script Tom provides in his post, but we got the error here below: Line 41 is “Set objIIS = GetObject(“IIS://” & strComputer & “/W3SVC/AppPools”)”, this path does not exist in IIS 5 metabase, hence the error. To adapt it to IIS 5 we removed the script section that checks for Enable32BitAppOnWin64. We run the script again and got this message: PASS: The current value of Restrict_Run is: 0 PASS: Successfully registered mmcaspext.dll PASS: Successfully registered AspNetMMC Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility 2.0.50727.1433 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2004.

Here’s another interesting crash problem I worked on a few days ago: the application pool was randomly crashing and the following errors were logged: Event Type: Error Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 21/08/2009 Time: 12:23:12 User: N/A Computer: <computername> Description: Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, stamp 45d691cc, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4062, stamp 462643a7, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000000000027d8d.
