I have a customer that has the following error - but on their domain controller:
"Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: The remote procedure call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"
When I drill into the error log as directed by the error message, I find:

I've tried several different fixes, but they don't seem to work. I am afraid to copy the entire contents of the directory from another server, as your supposed to do this from a server that has the same roles/features installed, and there are none.
Thoughts on what I should do?
