Hi All, Thanks for the advice.
Issue is mostly solved. Like the errormessage pointed out it had to do with the web.config file, it was missing a section that was in the machine.config. Because of the powershell warning I first thought that had caused it,but it didn't. As to the advice of doing a clean installation. I couldn't agree more. Much easier to test offline. That was what I recoommended the owners as well, but because it's quite a complicated piece of software distributed over several servers she didn't want to go that route. Apparently a clean install with some consultants years ago had gone horribly wrong and she still has a trauma from that. Now in a year or so we will need to do a clean install anyway because of the move to a 64 bit OS. Had we done it now I would have upgraded to 2012 and they would've been done for years.
