I would have fixed this days ago, if I had. Thanks to everyone who responded here, and my sincerest apologies to those who suggested the certs were the problem and I did not listen hard enough (including my tech, who doesn't know any more about certs than I do, but he did want me to do this 3 days ago). But for now, I am hopeful (My weekend and mini vacation later next week appear to be saved!) I haven't heard yet if the old certs have been revoked as yet, and I am a bit worried what might happen when they are. We restarted the server all the services that were needed came up, pages are being properly served, everything is looking good. In any event, just to try, I installed the new certs on the 'bad' VM (the replacement would get the same name, with the same website names). (If someone could explain how that might happen, I would like to know.) As I've said, I am very green where certs are concerned, and everything I looked at said these were just fine, and it didn't make any sense to me why they wouldn't be ok in a snapshot of the VM. Services have been unavailable for 36 hrs and counting any ideas?Īs part of the process of rebuilding the server, I requested new certs. The other application running on its on VM is happily connecting to the DB so, I am lost.

We are unable to rdp to this VM (I have to access it from the host console) and WindowsUpdate fails with an error code: 80072F8F (searched that too, no joy) We have googled that error and found nothing useful. Unable to establish connection to database: SSL Security error Several of the services required for those applications won't start (Actually they start then stop) and we find this error in the Event log: Now both applications on that VM have problems. Tech tried restarting a service, but that didn't help, so he restarted the server. Sometime last week (we're not exactly sure when), one application starting having a problem. We have a SQL Server 2008 running on its own VM and several applications on other VMs that use it.

I have no idea if this is really a SQL DB problem or not, but here goes.
