2008 R2 unexpected error refreshing Server Manager

[gerrard_d]

Hi,

I've been having a few problems on our 2008 R2 server with the server manager Roles and Features not working. The error that comes up on screen is "Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)

I've not been able to get much help so far from google so was hoping some kind people would be able to help from here? :)

I have attached the latest CheckSUR.log.

If there is anything else needed please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this simply isn't fixable. As you can see in your CheckSUR log, you have a lot of missing registry values and even if I spend hours fixing these, there's a very good chance different errors will appear in their place.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, especially as this is a server, but the only way you're going to fix this is by doing a clean install.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help!

Tom
