DMI Space Log Full

Problem: My system is showing DMI event log space is full while booting.

what is DMI?: DMI stands for Desktop Management Interface. It generates a standard framework for managing and tracking components in a desktop, notebook or a server. It is implemented by the BIOS of computer.BIOS provides an option of maintaining DMI logs to analyze any errors which may occur.

Solution: The solution is quite simple i will guide you step by step on fixing this problem:

1. You could press F2 to go to bios when the DMI prompted or you restart your computer and while its powering up keep on pressing DELETE key on the keyboard, this will take you to the BIOS screen. (of course different BIOS type sometimes have different key to go to the bios setup page.)

2. Go to Advanced Setup, find DMI logs option. This option maybe located under different menus under different types of BIOS interfaces.

3. Once you locate the option, Select the option to Clear the DMI logs and also disable DMI logging if you don't need it.

4. Save changes and exit from BIOS. Restart your computer and were done! hopefully!

Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process identity does not have read permissions to the global assembly cache.

I happen to received this error after someone removed my domain account from administrators group in my workstations due to conficker threat. Most of my installed applications gone berserk. So I went to seek help to get my local administrator permission back so that I could do most of administrative task on my workstation.

Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process identity does not have read permissions to the global assembly cache. Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied.

Solution:

1. go to command prompt and give the permission back to affected user process.
2. type this this command and replace the domain\user with you own.

cacls %windir%\assembly /e /t /p domain\useraccount:R

3. check your site again.

Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'

Problem: ASP Uploading Error


Solution:
Open the metabase.xml file located at c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\ and find the "AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" properties and modify the value into 1073741824 like
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed = "1073741824" (this is more than 1Gig) , then save it and reset the IIS.

note: stop the IIS service before saving, failed to do so will not allow you to change the metabase file.
