I have 2 identical high-end Dell servers. One I managed to install OS (Windows 2022 DC) with no problems. The other one, however, gives the following error, ONLY when the Server Manager is launched:
"Could not load file or assembly
'System.Management.Automation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest."
As the result, PowerShell does not load, and I am not even run most of the options in the Server Manager's GUI interface. Yes, I have applied ALL Dell and Windows updates.
I hate to wipe out the OS and reinstall, not because it will take an hour to two of my time, but the fact that I may end up getting the same error again.
I really appreciate your help, but please for sake of all, do not reply with nonsensical comments.

After failing to get DebugDiag to analyse crash-dump files it was suggested that I try using WinDbg instead.
The crash-dump files have been created on a Windows Server 2016 box, running my ASP.Net 4.5.2 web application on IIS-10. My ASP.Net web application contains several 3rd party components, with their individual DLLs.
I have copied the crash-dump files onto my Windows 10 development machine, and am running WinDbg locally instead of on the server.
The problem is... when I run !analyze -v in WinDbg on any of the crash-dump files, it effectively hangs while "Downloading file xxx.DLL" (xxx.DLL being the name of just one of the 3rd party component DLLs), and eventually cancels itself after a period of time.
I'm running WinDbg on the same machine that I built the website on in the first place... so is there a way of telling WinDbg that it can find the DLL in a particular location on the local machine?
I obviously don't have a .pdb file for any of the 3rd party components, and so I'm not bothered about it loading symbols for those DLLs... but either I somehow tell it to ignore those particular DLLs, or I tell it how to find them locally.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
You don't have to analyze the dump file with !analyze -v.
If you need to load dll, then .load D:.... is enough.
To maunal analyze a dump file.
Please run .loadb sos clr to load debug module. If the crash server and your machine run different version of .net framework. Then you need to load sos.dll manually.
When you need to debug .net application in IIS, !mex extension is recommened.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53304
You can load mex.dll via .load c:\.....\mex.dll
!mex.aspxpages can show all requests inside the process and their process
!mex.mthreads show the status of all threads
!mex.clrstack2 will show all exceptions and mananaged call stack in specific thread.
1.You can use ~* k to load the full call stack in all threads and !mex.mthreads check status.
Then you may find something like KERNELBASE!RaiseException in specific thread
2.Then go to this thread via threadid~ like 12~
3.Run !mex.clrstack2 and it will show the crash exception
Basically, no, you cannot speed up the process of loading symbols for DLLs where you don't have symbols. IMHO, the only way of speeding up the symbol process would be to disable the HTTP server, so that symbols are only searched on your local disk.
See also: How to set up symbols in WinDbg if you have not done this often.
Getting a HTTP 404 for those files should not take very long. However, it tries various file endings and pointers etc. Sometimes Microsoft servers are slow. Also, having a lot of 3rd party DLLs may sum up of course. That can be pretty anoying.
I'll start by saying I don't 100% understand everything I had to do, but here are the step I took to discover where the stackoverflow issue was in my application...
The majority of the information came from this blog.
On the server I added the following registry settings to create the crash dump files...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\w3wp.exe]
"DumpCount"=dword:00000005
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,43,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,44,00,75,\
00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,5c,00,00,00
(The DumpCount is the number of files to store before it starts overwriting old ones - DumpFolder is where the files are to be saved, is a REG_EXPAND_SZ and in my case represents C:\CrashDumps\)
Waited for crashes to happen
Copied the crash files into a directory on my local machine called C:\WinDbg\CrashDumps\
Create another directory called C:\WinDbg\Symbols, into which I placed...
clr.dll (from the server, taken from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\)
sos.dll (from the server, taken from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\)
all .dll and .pdb files from my local development environment, including third party component .dll files
Installed WinDbg via Windows Store on my Windows 10 development machine
Ran windbgx -y c:\windbg\symbols via Run command (for some reason it's windbgx on my machine but maybe that's because it's via the Store rather than manual download)
In the file menu Open dump file and select one of the dump files in C:\WinDbg\CrashDumps
Ran the following commands...
.symfix
.reload
.load c:\windbg\symbols\sos.dll (see note 1 below)
!clrstack (see note 2 below)
Although this didn't give me all the information I expected, what it did show was that one of my 3rd party components was 100% to blame for the stackoverflow exception.
Note 1 - Lots of places I read said that .loadby sos clr should be used, but that just gave me The call to LoadLibrary(C:\ProgramData\Dbg\sym\clr.dll\5E7D1F3B9eb000\sos.dll) failed and I couldn't figure out how to fix it... so instead I've used .load c:\windbg\symbols\sos.dll.
Note 2 - The !clrstack command worked because WinDbg appeared to pre-select the thread that had the exception. The other option is to use ~*e !clrstack which will show you call stacks for ALL threads.
After upgrading system to Windows 10 - os 1803 we are getting below issues while working with ClearCase 8.0.1.x/9.0.1.x
Unable to checkin/checkout.
Not able to create views.
Not able to add any file to source control.
The system hangs & crashes while performing any ClearCase operation.
There is no error message, but I have attached screenshot for reference.
Please let us know if there is any issue with the Windows 10 ver(1803), any security system enabled?
Or has ClearCase provided any fix?
We have tried 9.0.1.5 and issue still persists.
This is what we got from windows event log.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.
The bugcheck was:
0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000004, 0x00000000535be990, 0x000000000004efd3, 0xfffff803e01848b1)
for most of them whoever has upgraded to windows 1803 ver :( for people who are still using ver1709 it is working perfectly fine
Then I would recommand contacting IBM support: only them can update their ClearCase 9/Windows 10 compatibility matrix and confirm if MVFS is supported on a more recent (1803) Windows 10 edition.
We also facing same problem and I have raised the case with IBM. Still not yet resolved. As IBM said there are some limitations to work ClearCase with windows 10 and windows 2016.
We tried all the options except Secure boot disable. If possible please do disable secure boot option in Windows 10 and try to checkin/checkout code from CleraCase
Note : It works for Snapshot views. That means the issue related to MVFS
I'm seconding #VonC's recommendation to open a ticket with IBM. When you do that, save a step and collect a clearbug2 and a kernel memory dump to send in as soon as the case is opened. It will save the turn-around time of us asking you for it. If the installed programs list doesn't list installed security software (DLP, Privilege management sw like Avecto, other endpoint security tools), please list those separately as well.
I would also love to know who # IBM told you there are "limitations" with Win10-1803.
There are a few issues with Windows 10 "version upgrades" breaking things, but they generally don't cause system crashes. Windows 10 upgrades are actually full OS installs that then (imperfectly) migrate application settings. Anything that uses custom network providers (ClearCase is one example) will find that the network providers will be broken or partially broken. Reinstalling is usually required. Again, that has not yet been reported as a cause of a BSOD.
If the upgrade/reinstall didn't fix view creation, please post a separate question on the view creation issue. There may be things we can do to the SMB 2 caches to allow view creation to work in cases where the view storage is not on the client host.
I noticed that the screen shot you posted is a Terminal Services disconnect screenshot. Does the issue only occur over a Terminal Services client connection or does it also happen on a local connection?
the package execute successfully from VS but when deploy on SSIS catalog it gives following error
Error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80070008 (Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. Not enough storage is available to process this command. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070008)). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter
Excel File size is 147 mb
Yes, This problem occurs when you try to load excel file through SQL server till 2012. The limit is 120MB split your file to less than this size and try to load again.
Second solution is try SQL server 2016 and you will not face this issue.
Microsoft has acknowledged this shortcoming and has released the following package to rectify it using "newer" Access/Excel Connection managers. However, after installing and following the instructions - the same issue occurs.
The cause of the problem: The problem is caused due to a limitation that exists with office versions 1997-2003. The connection manager was designed for Office 1997 and has not been amended or improved since. This is why, when you actually research limitations on Office 2000 or 2003, you'll see that they do not allow more than 255 columns (the limit mentioned above) AND the length of the column-name cannot surpass 64 characters. These are software limitations that existed with Office 2000 and 1997 and since the Connection Manager was designed then, they just remained with it given MS did not invest in improving or updating their product. Hope this helps!
In my other consideration it may due to OLEDB provider version older version issue

Last Solution:
As you said your package is working fine but not in deployment mode right ?
So why didn't you try DTEXEC command line execution for this package. Schedule it using Windows Task Scheduler

We have an application where we have several Azure WebJobs set up, and we have NLog set up to report on the entry and exit of those webjobs. We have NLog hooked into Stackify so that we can use the Stackify logger to watch things move from WebJob to WebJob. The logging works (so we know the configuration is OK). The problem we are hitting is that the logging is intermittent - we have independent confirmation of messages travelling along several WebJobs, but we will only get partial logging. For example, the first log will record that a message was read off of it, but won't show the exit message. The next log will show the entry and exit. The problem is that they all leverage the exact same code, so the same log message should appear every single time. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Before you answer, we have taken these diagnostic steps:
(1) We have verified the proper configuration settings in all webjob config files.
(2) We have verified that all of the webjob config files are properly posted in Azure.
(3) We have independently verified (via the webjob consoles in Azure) that the messages are getting to the different webjobs, processing, and then moving on to the next webjob, meaning that they would be invoking the logging code.
(4) We have verified that our Stackify log data is not being throttled (this might have made sense if the logs had simply stopped - but the fact that we just get partial logging in some cases and full logging in others during a single message transmission makes this unlikely).
(5) We have pored over the Stackify documentation, which seems to ensure that configuration is set up properly so that you get logging at all. It covers the all-or-nothing scenario, but not the some scenario.
I will be happy to provide more clarification as needed.
We discovered what is going on, and it is rather strange. The issue ended up being with our use of NLog.Targets.Stackify. We were using version 1.25.4. When I ran a test using the NLog debugger suggested by Julian, this is what showed up:
2017-01-09 10:14:43.5079 Info Loading assembly name: NLog.Targets.Stackify

File name: 'NLog, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5120e14c03d0593c'
This was followed shortly by this error when it was parsing the config:
System.ArgumentException: Target cannot be found: 'StackifyTarget'
The documentation indicates that version 4.4 of NLog is sufficient to run this library. However, the NLog debugger indicates that it is looking for version 5.0, and not finding it (which it wouldn't because we aren't using it). Now, what makes this strange is that it did work at one time, with this version, so somehow a reference to NLog 5.0 is stuck somewhere in the system, but we can't find it because everything in our solution is running NLog 4.4. We've checked the csproj, the packages config, the app config, the actual installed nuget packages - no reference to version 5.0.
The answer to the problem was to downgrade to 1.25.3. As soon as I did that, it worked. I then tried to bump it back to 1.25.4, and had the same problem again. Matt - to your point about Shutdown - we are going to add that to our webjobs, and then I will monitor to see if we are seeing complete logs. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!
You should be able to fix this problem by adding one line of code at the end of your application to StackifyLib to flush.
StackifyLib.Logger.Shutdown();
https://github.com/stackify/stackify-api-dotnet/blob/master/README.md
I hope this fixes it for you, if not, please contact Stackify support.
Could be nice with an example of the NLog-config. If using the async-wrapper, then by default the overflow action is to discard "random" messages.
Late last week I upgraded CC.NET locally and on the build server. The build server is still fine, but locally I am now getting the following error:
Exception Details: Exortech.NetReflector.NetReflectorTypeLoadException: Unable to load types from assembly System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089:

I'm afraid this started after a batch of Windows updates this morning. I had another two updates that won't run, 979909 and 982168 (I had an update that wouldn't run last month).
Anyone else having any issues? Thanks!
Edit: I can connect through CCTray and CCNET is running properly. I just can't get to the Dashboard.
EDIT. Thanks to both of you. I uninstalled
everything you both suggested and
turned off Windows Update per our IT dept. It didn't
work yesterday after a reboot, but
after a night of rest and another
reboot, it seems to be working now.
I got the same exception this morning, seemingly out of nowhere.
Turns out some Windows updates were installed over the weekend. After uninstalling the KB976765 and KB979909 updates, the problem went away.
I hope this helps
There is a problem with the update KB976769v2. It can be fixed as detailed in this KB article.
We had the same problem. For us we had to uninstall KB976769v2 in order for the application to work again.
