After upgrading from 2008R2 to 2012 my IIS applications stop when accessing them. I found the following errror in the event logs:
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC-WP
Date: 12/10/2012 11:05:09 AM
Event ID: 2280
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXXXXXXX
Description: The Module DLL C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\rewrite.dll failed to load. The data is the error.
If I repair the IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 in Control Panel everything works again. Any idea what would be causing this? Everything is working prior to the OS upgrade.

Monday, December 10, 2012 10:22 PM rewrite.dll was a downloaded add-on for IIS 7 and 7.5. It could be that when you repair it, it goes out an picks up the rewrite.dll from 2012 (I'm just guessing). You might want to take your question to the IIS folks over at iis.net. They are the experts in all things IIS.
