This particular server was Windows Server 2003 R2 running in a virtual environment set up as an archive only server.

It was determined that the .asp net files were corrupted.  The reason was not determined at this time. (Customer related that these are VM environments and they get moved from time to time but are the same “virtual” server.)

Here are the steps to take to delete these corrupt temporary asp.net files:

1. Stop the ipConfigure Archive Creation and ipConfigure Recording Control Services
2. From CMD prompt (made need to run as administrator) - IISRESET /Stop
3. Navigate to the temporary asp.net files and delete both 32 and 64-bit temporary asp.net files (\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files)
4. IISRESET /start
5. Restart archive/ recording services  (recreates two folders)
