This statement is displayed when I enter a user and domain. I have already tried uninstalling the 32bit client side extentions and reinstalled them.My client os is windows 7.Any guidance would be appreciated!

exact message please? how are u initiating the pwd reset sequence? from logon screen or portal? at which step in the steps describe at http://blogs.technet.com/aho/archive/2009/10/01/forefront-identity-manager-credential-management-part-1.aspx are you seeing this error? -AnthonyThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Hi Anthony,Password reset is being initiated from the client browser.Http://servername/passwordportalUpon user and domain name entry I get the follow error:The FIM Password and Authentication Extensions experienced an error when trying to reset a password. Please reinstall or contact your system administrator.The registration steps do not appear on first log in as well.I am going to review the all the MPRs

in general, it's better to test the deployment without the portal first try this C:\Windows\System32\MsPwdRegistration.exe do u see an error pops up within 1sec? If yes, restart the FIMPasswordReset service (this is a known bug) if not, uncomment the section at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Password Reset Client Service\PwdMgmtProxy.exe.config change Warning and Error to "Verbose" create C:\Logs and grant authenticated users full control on that folder restart FIMPasswordReset C:\Windows\System32\MsPwdRegistration.exe -all (notice the -all flag) see if you see anything special from the event log/the log file generatedThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

I executed the actions in your first section and the error pops up right away.I executed the actions in the second section. No logs generated in the folder.I did get further along than previous attempts.The FIM Password Reset Registration screen pops up but I then get a pop up that states "An error occured while processing your request. Please try again later. If this error persists please contact your system administrator."

that's weird.. have you grant enough permission for the FIMPasswordReset service to create a log file? i really need the log to further troubleshoot (either eventlog or the actual log file) in particular <source name="Microsoft.ResourceManagement" switchValue="Verbose"> should be Verbose (capital V) <add initializeData="C:\Logs\PwdMgmtProxy.svclog" create this folder and make it's ACLed <filter type="System.Diagnostics.EventTypeFilter" initializeData="Verbose" /> should be Verbose (capital V) The FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Confirmed permissions as well as Verbose.Where do I add the add the location for the log file in the script?

if you have the two set to verbose, and the folder permission is set there should be a log file created under C:\Logs\PwdMgmtProxy.svclog after you invoke "C:\Windows\System32\MsPwdRegistration.exe -all" not?The FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Still no. Can I email you my config file?

sure, go to my blog, send me a mail through there. i will replyThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Also check that you are restarting the service after you modify the config file.For trace logging I usually set the folder allow everyone full control of some temp folder.CraigMartin Edgile, Inc. http://identitytrench.com
