Cause

This issue occurs because the .NET Extensibility role services are not enabled under the Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 server role. When the .NET Extensibility role services that are under the IIS 7.0 server role are not enabled, the Webengine.dll file is not registered in the IIS 7.0 global module list. Therefore, a role-based access control (RBAC) authorization throws an access violation exception when you try to open a Webconfig.xml file. This behavior causes the remote connection to fail.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, enable the .NET Extensibility role services under the IIS 7.0 server role. For more information about how to enable the .NET Extensibility role services, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
