.Net Geek - Error: Failed to access IIS metabase

Posted in .Net

If you install IIS after .Net 2.0 or Visual studio 2005, you may receive “Failed to access IIS metabase” error. To resolve this issue either you need to install .Net framework again after IIS or you can do the following...
You can use the aspnet_regiis utility comes with .Net framework 2.0. This is an administrator utility to install or uninstall Asp.Net on local server/machine. To run this utility through command prompt move to C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727 and type (without quotes)

“aspnet_regiis -i ”

This will install the ASP.Net and update and upgrade the scriptmaps at the IIS metabase root and in below the root. In certain cases, a particular user account doesn’t have access to IIS metabase. Such condition will result the same error. However, in this case you can simply grant access to user account using…

“aspnet_regiis –ga (user_account_name)"

Thanks for sharing this. I googled plenty of suggestions, but you've made it very clear what and why needs to be done. aspnet_regiis -i solved my problem. On my machine the path to aspnet_regiis.exe was missing from PATH variable, so I had to type it all the way to the .NET 2.0 subfolder, but in the end it worked.
Thanks again!

Hi,

.net 2.0 was preinstalled on my laptop and i had installed iis (v 5.0) and then Sql server 2005, and am still getting the error "Failed to Access IIS Metabase."

Have tried the solution suggested, but am still getting the error.

Pls suggest a resolution.
