Our web server has been running into an issue where the server generates a
Catastrophic Failure response on the first page request made. Reloadign the
page, everything works fine. This started happening a few weeks ago - perhaps
a Windows Patch may have caused it? Google searches sadly don't return much
about it. Would anyone have a similar experience or be able to shed some
light on what may be happening here?

This is running on Windows Server 2008 in a VM. The error message is as
follows:

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about
the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Catastrophic
failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web
request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can
be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Chad,
You can download Process Monitor
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
Try to get a downtime when you can have the server to yourself. Shutdown
everything that you don't need so that you get bare minimum information in
the capture
Stop and Restart IIS
Run Process Monitor
This will start capturing all the Activity
Visit your website.
Repeat the above step.

Stop capturing the Events by pressing CTRL + E

Scroll thru the log and see if you can spot any failed events (specifically
related to file not found errors or permissions issues). You can also mail
me the file trevornews @ gmail dot com (remove all spaces). The file may
contain sensitive information. So it is your call.

Regards,

Trevor Benedict
