![[fixed] SQL Server Management Studio – Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel](https://i1.wp.com/nikospapagiannopoulos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sql-server-management-studio-error.jpg?resize=611%2C292&ssl=1)
If you get the error Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel then probably the configuration file of .Net Framework 2 “machine.config” is corrupt.
The Solution
Replace the “machine.config” file with one from another computer, or download the file I’ve attached. The “machine.config” file is located at “C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG”.
That’s all!
