Last week I was receiving a Certificate error when I remot connected to the server. So like a true blonde I went into IIS Manager went to the Server Certificates and of course deleted 2 certificates. THE WRONG ONES. I have since been able to put them back. I have done the binding as well. But nothing seems to be working. I think all I have managed to do is create a loop.
Now here’s what I do know:
I can not sign into Dashboard I receive a “Dashboard Error” message.
Although the server appears to be loading I can access it anyway.
I thought about doing a recovery but I am afraid of losing the programs installed on it.

I’ve run the test. Fixed some of the problems. But I still have errors and I am lost.
1st error: Checking Websites:
Site: Default Website
App Pool: DefaultAppPool
State: Started
2nd error: Testing CA Name:
Certificate Authority Cert: Errors Detected - Local Machine Store
3rd error: Testing Dashboard Certificate
Dashboard Cert - Error
A Bunch of the Services are stopped
And TCP:6602 has an status error too.
I have also noticed that the server date is wrong. Have changed it serveral times to the correct date but after retarts it converts back to 9/9/2014 (which is when all the **bleep** happened)
Just check updates. Nothing to install. Although there were a bunch of updates installed through 9/8 to 9/12. I’m not sure if the install date is correct. Could that effect server?? If they were installed on those dates and the server was screwed up could that cause the problem?
Oh Lord, I think I’m looking at a recovery install, Huh?
Yes, I restarted the service. I also shut the server off and next morning re-started it. It booted up with 9/9/2014. I believe I’m going to do the recovery. I do appreicate your time and effort.
well if you set the date and restart the ad cert service and things are still broke, you may need to do the recovery. Perhaps messing with IIS when the date was off really toasted it.
Let us know how the date issue goes after the recovery also let us know if you have cpu temps in the monitor health tab please.
Oh, use something other than IE to download the ISO and be sure and check the hash of the download to make sure it is good
I have download the Recovery file. Unlock the drives. But when I put the Flashdrive back in my computer nothing comes up on my screen. I’m not sure how to get it to start. (I hate computers: Grrrrrrrr)
Probabbly did not need to unlock the drives and I don’t think you need to do the middle step recreate my storage.
Now you go to the bottom, recover.
Just hit next, create a thumb drivwe takes a lil while, then you boot the DX while holding the button with that thumb drive in, after the lcd says recovery started (something like that) on your pc you hit next. Your PC must stay on the 5 hours or so it takes
