Hi there,

there are two WFE in my SharePoint Farm, when I access my SharePoint one of WEFs through CSOM. It turns out (500) Internal Error. Meantime I found the following error in Windows Event Viewer. How should I solve it out.

    Try running Install-SPApplicationContent on the impacted SharePoint server(s).

    Hi Trevorseward,

    see you once again. I solve it out buy using AAM. I assign another record in AAM (Custom) and the value is http://win-xxxxxxx:8001 to http://win-xxxxxxx:8001

    impacted URL is http://win-xxxxxxx:8001

    I have no idea whether or not it is better solution. but I suppose the logic should be right.
