SYMPTOMS
When you click the Refresh button in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) on the member server, you may receive the following error message:

&quot;An error has occurred. 006~ASP 0177~Server.CreateObject Failed~Invalid ProgID. For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: http://search.support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1. (0x800401F3)&quot;



CAUSE
This behavior may have many causes, such as the following:
 * 1) A client computer temporarily loses its connection to a domain controller (DC).
 * 2) The test account on the cluster controller does not have Administrative permissions. This scenario is described in the &quot;Steps to Reproduce the Behavior&quot; section.



RESOLUTION
You can ignore this error message. It will go away.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
To reproduce the behavior, you must have three computers, two domain user accounts, and a network hub.

NOTE: For this scenario, NAUser is your domain user account. NAtest is another test account for which you have a password. Set up the client computer as a DC (use the cluster computers as members), so that you can run this test on a private network.

Client Computer:

Network: connection direct

Application Center 2000: Not Installed

NAUser: Administrator permissions

NAtest: No permissions

Brick 1:

Network: connection through the hub

Application Center 2000: Installed

NAUser: Administrator permissions

NAtest: Administrator permissions

Brick 2:

Network: connection through the hub

Application Center 2000: Installed

NAUser: No permissions

NAtest: Administrator permissions


 * 1) Create a cluster on Brick 1.
 * 2) Add Brick 2 to the cluster.
 * 3) On the member server, connect only to the member by using the MMC. Verify that the connection works.
 * 4) On the client computer, connect to the member by using Internet Explorer. When you are prompted for credentials, supply the test account credentials, and then verify that the connection works.
 * 5) On the hub, turn off the uplink button. This will allow the two bricks to continue to communicate, but will stop access from the network and from the DC.
 * 6) On the member server, connect only to the member by using MMC. Verify that the connection works.
 * 7) On the client computer, connect to either of the members by using Internet Explorer. Verify that the connection does not work because the computer cannot be found.
 * 8) On the hub, turn on the uplink button. This makes the cluster computers visible to the network again.
 * 9) On the member server, connect only to the member by using MMC. Verify that the connection works.
 * 10) On the client computer, connect to the member by using Internet Explorer. You receive an error message in Internet Explorer before you receive the prompt for the credentials (there might be a delay of up to 5 minutes after the hub connection is turned on before you receive this error message).
 * 11) Go back to the member server, and then refresh the pages in MMC. You receive the error message in MMC for several minutes, and then the message goes away.
