Exchange 2010: Uninstallation Breaks Other Application
We moved one of the customer to our private cloud and Decommissioned the Exchange server.
Now a Web application which was installed on the same server stopped opening on the browser. We were browsing the application url and it was not opening anything.
Issue:
Application website stopped opening after uninstalling Exchange server.
Resolution:
-Tried to reset application pool but no luck.
-Tried IISreset but no luck.
-Tried to restart server but no luck.
-Tried to open website locally but no luck.
-Checked the IIS logs but no luck
-Checked event viewer and identified that Event id 2280 with the following description
The Module DLL E:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\kerbauth.dll failed to load. The data is the error.
-Now it was simple. Search for Kerbauth.dll and update the path of Kerbauth.dll.
-We searched for Kerbauth.dll but could not find one on the server.
-Copied kerbauth.dll from another Exchange 2010 and pasted to a server location.
-Opened the applicationhost.config file from C:\windows\system32\inersrv\config and look for Kerbauth then updated the path where we copied Kerbauth.dll
<add name=”kerbauth” image=”C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\kerbauth.dll” />
-Issue fixed.
Conclusion:
Do not install Exchange and any other application on the same server.
