Error logging PerfMon data to database
Written by Harry Zheng   

I tried to log PerfMon log to a data source, but I am getting an error. 

PerfMonError

This is found in Windows event log:
The description for Event ID 3042 from source Microsoft-Windows-PDH cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

However I do see three new tables were created as shown below:

Database

Question is why PerfMon can't write to the table it creates?

Can't check for update error code 80070426
Written by Harry Zheng   

Getting a alert on the bottom right cornor of the window saying "Can't check for updates".

Start -> Control Panel  ->Nothing shows up

It is still possible to access Control Panel from Windows Explorer (Windows Key + E).

Cause:
Error 80070426 indicates Software Licensing service is not running. The Software Licensing service enables the download, installation and enforcement of digital licenses for Windows and Windows applications. If the service is disabled, Windows and licensed applications may fail to get proper validation and activation.

In the previous version of Windows, it is safe to disable this service as it is mainly used to track how many licenses have been used in an enterprise. Now  Microsoft uses it to validate if the Windows software is genuine.

 
WCF service: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration
Written by Admin   

Tried to open a WCF service site and got:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not FoundThe page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

Error Code 0x80070032


This resolves it:
Run cmd as Administrator.

C:\Windows>cd "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation"
servicemodelReg -i

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Error Code: 0x80070021
Config Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".

To override the IIS setting with web config file:

Start cmd prompt with "Run as Administrator"
C:\Windows\system32>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config -section:system.webServer/handlers
Unlocked section "system.webServer/handlers" at configuration path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST".
