When .Net and IIS Have a Lovers Tiff....

Now as I'm sure as many of you know .Net and IIS seem unseperatable nowadays, .Net powered sites are the norm, and why not its great. However there are times, like this evening, when something goes horribly wrong. IIS and .Net stop talking, and decide to be uncoropative. Why this happens, be it a software install / update, an IIS restore still manages to get past many people. Usually I find that doing a cmd prompt script fixes it and then they get back together as if nothing has happened. aspnet_regiis -i is usually enough. But tonight my virtual server wasn't having it. However after 10 mins of scratching ones head i realised the problem was that although registered .Net was not enabled, so simply run aspnet_regiis -i -enable and voila IIS and .Net are off into another honeymoon period
