The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'

[spencer]

The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The error was 'The specified metadata was not found.'

If you get the following message: Server Application Error on browsing the website. Check the event logs, which will show you:

The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The error was 'The specified metadata was not found.'

Check MSDTC service status, if this service isn’t started, tries to start it, if it fails to respond and do not start, check the error message:

The Distributed Transaction Coordinator service terminated with service-specific error 3221229584 (0xC0001010).

You will need to run msdtc -resetlog

Note: "msdtc.exe" means Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. MS Web Server or MS SQL Server use this service.

Problem is solved.
