Description

MMC keeps crash after joining the server group.

Resolution

On one of the Storefront server open command prompt in elevated mode and execute following commands to remove virtual directory 'VirtualDir' if exists

  1. Move to instsrv directory
    cd %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv

  2. Get a list of virtual directory entries
    appcmd list app

  3. This will come up with a list of apps like so
    APP "Default Web Site/" (applicationPool:DefaultAppPool)

  4. Remove Virtual Directory called VirtualDir
    appcmd delete app /app.name:"Default Web Site"/VirtualDir/auth


Problem Cause

Some old sites remain in IIS. StoreFront has no right to delete it.
