The quickest fix would be to un-install Metaframe and re-install it. Since the server is part of a farm, you really won't lose anything and it should clean it up with a few minutes work.......

One of my servers needed to be restored but I was only able to use a backup from a different server. I did a complete restore, removed the newly restored server from the domain and ran sysprep. When the server came back up I renamed it back to it's original name and re-joined the domain. Now I can not connect the sever to the farm. I tried chfarm, uninstalling Meteframe, nothing is working. I'm getting the following events when the MF Com Server and IMA Service try to start; Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7024 Date: 3/25/2005 Time: 1:28:12 PM User: N/A Computer: CTX02 Description: The Independent Management Architecture service terminated with service-specific error 2147483655.
