Hi guys,
Since I've installed the web farm framework I was having all kind of random problems and I'm not able to find a root cause.
The most important:
* From time to time the syncronization process destroy configuration files on secundary servers (machine.config, web.config, applicationHost.config). I basically empty those files causing servers to crash
The most recent
* I was getting this error
'ProvisionPlatform'. Failed to run method 'Microsoft.Web.Farm.GetInstalledProductsRemoteMethod' on server 'x.x.x.x'. Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://x.x.x.x:8173/WEBFARMAGENTSERVICE/'. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://x.x.x.x:8173/WEBFARMAGENTSERVICE/'. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Running manuall "repair server" fixed the problem so it seems there is no permanent authentication problem.
I'm not sure why I'm having so many problems using this product. For now I would be happy if at least I can find a monitoring tool that sends and email in case syncrhonization failed since normally we realize about these problems when clients reports a problem on their side. Is there any plugin for this?
Thanks
