Server Manager and Event Viewer not working
Hello Experts,
I have a critical issue that I am worried about. Currently I cannot access the Event Viewer or Server Manager on our FSMO role server. I get the error:
MMC cannot initialize the snap in.
I did some initial research and found it was related to Net Framework.
Any help is appreciated. WE had a power outage last night and I can't even see my logs to see what happened. I can see the AD users and computers and domain snap ins, thank goodness.
Thank you,
Karen

If you had a power outage could be windows files structure is damaged, try running a system file checker go to your start run type cmd
in cmd > type exactly as is SFC /SCANNOW

Try this go to search type in reli it will appear at the top run it, you will be presented a panel of lines where problems occurred.
Check device manager
perform a system restore

Because of the power outage, the first thing I would do is to check the filesystem on all of the drives.

Hello,
I did as requested above and the filesystem turned out fine. I have not had a chance to uninstall NetFramework and am guessing that is not going to be fun?

What problems are you seeing with the .net framework?
Are you sure it is not a network card failure?
In my humble opinion the first place I look is the network card itself, with a power failure/ outages and what follows is a possible surge.
The ethernet cable is plugged into network card and that's a direct line to the telephone.
Test the network card, Reseat it or use a new one if you have a spare one.

There are a lot of errors with Net Framework and in looking up the error for the Server Manager not working, Net Framework was listed as a cause. I still have not wanted to tackle this and so far can access everything I need remotely.
There are no current issues with the network card.

If you install IIS after installing .NET Framework 4.0, then open a command prompt, browse to the location %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Fra

I still cannot see the event viewer except remotely on this server and I removed the fsmo roles from it.
