Rebooted - yes.
System Log - The IIS Admin Service service terminated with the following service-specific error:
Invalid Signature.
Let me look at process monitor
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
We updated our SSL cert successfully e thought. After a server reboot days later the IIS Admin service fails to start with errors -2146893818. This seems to indicate removing and installing the IIS role. this is a RDS 2012R2 server and removing the role means removing all RDS and having to set everything back up from what I see. Is there another way around this? the C23 key has required permissions for System and local Administrators of Full Control. I went into to IIS and bound the cert to the default web site after installing the cert in the Computer account / personal node. Not sure what else to do?
Thanks all

And restoring the c23 key file manually from backup?
I know that this reference article is mentioning to repair the metabase component (as you mentioned, linked to the RDS stuff...)
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/error-2146893818-event-7024-invalid-signature/ba-p/1074715
But does it work to repair part 1 only (not reinstalling the metabase component, as the RDS part might be cumbersome for you...)
Rgds,

How about removing/reinstalling just the IIS6 metabase compatability feature.

If your sites are working and you can try it on a clone, that should be easy.
