When performing the SharePoint 2013 SP1 upgrade, I received the following error in the Upgrade log file (modified for readability):
INFO Updating the 'IntranetPool' application pool to run in integrated mode. SPIisWebSiteWssSequence ajywk ERROR Action 4.0.14.0 of Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPIisWebSiteWssSequence failed. Upgrade SPIisWebSiteWssSequence ajywk ERROR Exception: The system cannot find the path specified. Upgrade SPIisWebSiteWssSequence ajywk ERROR at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection.PopulateList() at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection..ctor(DirectoryEntry entry, String propertyName) at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection.get_Item(String propertyName) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPIisApplicationPool.set_ManagedPipelineMode(PipelineMode value) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPProvisioningAssistant.EnableIisIntegratedMode(String applicationPoolId) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.EnableIIS7IntegratedMode.Upgrade() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPActionSequence.Upgrade()
Cause
We had a vendor come in and assist with creating an Extranet. They extended the wrong web application so they went in and deleted it in IIS but is was still showing in Central Administration with 2 zones (Default and Intranet). Deleting it directly in IIS left the data in the SharePoint config database thus producing this error when it couldn’t find the application pool.
Solution
In Central Admin>Manage Web applications, select the web application with the incorrect extended zone. Click Delete>Remove SharePoint from IIS Web Site
- Select the incorrect zone from drop-down
- Select yes under Delete IIS web sites
- After performing this I reset IIS and then the Configuration Wizard ran successfully.
