PRB: Error Message "0x8009000F = Object Already Exists"
This article was previously published under Q271865
While attempting to reinstall Internet Information Services
(IIS) 5.0 or later, the following error message occurs:
Error writing Encryption data to Web Services Configuration
database (metabase). 0x8009000F=Object Already Exists.
This problem has been seen after the installation of
PCAnywhere.
To resolve the problem, use these steps:
- Remove IIS (by using Add/Remove Programs in Control
Panel).
- Using Windows Explorer, change to the following directory:
- Copy all the files in the MachineKeys directory to another
location (to back them up).
- Delete all the files from the MachineKeys directory except
the newest one (and not the backups!).NOTE: If you are unable to delete any of these files, try taking
ownership of this directory. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click the MachineKeys folder.
- Click Properties.
- Click the Security tab.
- Click Advanced.
- Click the Owner tab.
- Highlight the Administrators group to change the owner.
- Select Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
- Click OK.
- Look for the following folder:
%systemroot%\system32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
If this folder exists, repeat steps 3 and 4 on this folder.
- Restart the computer.
- Install IIS (by using Add/Remove Programs in Control
Panel).
