Restore Machine.Config file

If you made any changes to machine.config file and wish to restore it to its default , the .NET 2.0 framework provide a backup for this file incase you wish to reset it.

You will find two files in the framework installation path (\%SystemRoot%\Microsoft .NET\Framework\%VersionNumber%\CONFIG\) :image

- machine.config.comments : contains a descriptive comments for each key in the machine.config along with it's default or recommended value.

- machine.config.default: contains the original machine.config values

To restore the original file just copy the content or copy the file and rename it.

(BTW : this post belongs to do more with less using .NET series which I promised to continue)

Thanks.  That got my web app running again.  Now I will compare the running and the bad config file and see what changed and if I want to recover any section(s).

Thanks.

Thanks, I messed these up trying to get membership and roles working. Over-wrote them using the defaults and was back in business.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Better than the other suggestions out there like reinstalling the .NET framework.
