I suspected my new installation of 2012 essentails had a virus (Windows firewall is disabled, and I can not re-enable it).
I ran "SFC /Scannow" on my 2012 server (essentials). SFC found and fixed config files used for the remote web management. SFC fixed them so well, Remote web management no longer works. When I try to use the wizard to fix or re-configure the remote web console, it continously fails advising me to contact microsoft for assistance.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? Can i run something to re-configure the web console back to defaults and then re-run the wizard to set it back up again?
