    The MSCRMAsyncService keeps starting and stopping every minutes. CRM is running on SBS 2008 and UR7 has been applied. This has been going on for about two weeks.

    Host XXXXXX: failed while monitoring asynchronous operations queue. Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The 'Settings' start tag on line 2 does not match the end tag of 'settings'. Line 26, position 3.

    It appears you have a corrupt configuration file - I looked to see if I could figure out which one could be causing it, but couldn't see an obvious answer - if republishing doesn't fix it = you may want to 'repair' your crm server installation. 

    Do you have any custom workflows? - (workflows with custom steps) - you could try unpublishing those and see if the error clears up, then go back and re-enable the workflows one by one to see if one or more of them needs some work to repair.

    Scott,

    There is one workflow with a custom step which came from an ISV. I have unpublished it. I am thinking that it is the culprit as it seems like this issue raised its ugly head around the time the add-in was installed.

    Unfortunately, after unpublishing and doing and iisreset the event error is still occuring as before.

    Please clarify 'republishing' it is a term that I normally associate with reports and not a configuration file.

    Repairing is no fun as that can create all sorts of issues with accelerators and other isv extensions.

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Scott,

    Update - After thinking through it a little more and deciding to hit it with a bigger hammer I deleted the corresponding plugin. That appears to have done the trick.

    We will know in the morning.

    Scott,

    Looks like that solved the issue - removing the plug-in and unpublishing the workflow rule.

    However, at sometime I would really like to figure out what the error message really meant and where/how to fix it.

    Thanks.

    Jerry - the message probably is referring to a configuration file that the plugin is using - or in the configuration of the plugin registration.

    There is a at least <SETTING> tag without a matching </SETTING> tag - but that could be a red herring, it could be something else in the configuration such as tags out of order or misspelled. - Have someone with more familiarity with the plugin investigate its configuration and you may find the answer.
