Symptoms
This can occur if the application pool for SCVMM self-service portal is configured with Allow 32-bit Applications set to “True” in the Advanced Settings.
Cause
By default on a 64-bit machine, the Application pool in IIS 7 has theAllow 32-bit Applications setting set to false, however in certain environments the application pool may have Allow 32-bit Applications configured as True. In these cases we will receive error message as stated above. To resolve this issue change the Allow 32-bit Applications setting to False from True. To do that perform the following steps:
-
Open the IIS admin console.
-
Right-click the Application pool corresponding to SCVMM and select Advanced settings.
-
Under the Advanced settings, select the Allow 32-bit Applications setting and change it to False.
