You can remove Central Administration site by using SharePoint Configuration Wizard and add it againt. It will recreate site and reset all settings. Oleg

hmmm, just by run the wizard? i have already done that, no change

1. Run wizard 2. On Page Modify SharePoint Central Administration Web Application Settings click on Yes, I want to remove... 3 Complete a wizard. 4. If wizard did not remove CA Web Site from IIS remove it manually. 5. Run wizard again but in this time on page Modify SharePoint Central Administration Web Application Settings click on Yes, I want to host... 6. Complete a wizard. Oleg
