Web Management Service (WMSVC) Fails to Start

Question

Tuesday, January 5, 2016 3:21 PM

Hi,

I have created a Windows Server 2012 R2 Azure Instance and installed .Net 3.5 and 4.5 along with IIS to host websites. I find that in trying to start IIS Admin Manager, it fails and the error message says that the WMSVC is not started and despite reboots, command-line start attempts, it will not fire off.

The error message is: "Windows could not start the Web Management Service on Local Computer.  Service -specific error code - 2146234344.

The server also is throwing an error on ASP.NET 4.0 so that could be a problem as well. 

Should I remove the ASP.NET role and reinstall? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi,

You could refer the following troubleshooting guide for you error:
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/troubleshooting-web-deploy/troubleshooting-common-problems-with-web-deploy

Make sure that you've created an endpoint with a private port of 8172.

You could also check if the following link works for you:

Hi,

I was having the same issue but it's due to deleted WMSVC certificate by accident. You can check below link how I fixed this issue. I hope it will help you too.
