Reason
If you see this error as soon as you open ControlPoint, the applicable version of the .NET Framework has not been installed on all of the Web front-end servers in your farm.
Resolution
Make sure the version of the .NET Framework that is appropriate for your SharePoint version is installed on all Web front-end servers in your farm.
If You Cannot Resolve a Configuration Error
Contact Quest Support. Have the contents of the ControlPoint web.config file readily available so that the Technical Support Specialist can better assist you.
Troubleshooting the ControlPoint Application Interface
Recent Change Does Not Show Up in the SharePoint Hierarchy
Issue
During your current ControlPoint session, an action you performed (such as a Delete Site, Set User Permissions, or Add User to Group) isn't reflected in the SharePoint Hierarchy.
Possible Resolution
·Try Refreshing the SharePoint Hierarchy.
OR
·If a site collection has been added or deleted and the ControlPoint Application Administrator has configured the application to load site collections from a server-side cache, you may try refreshing this cache.=
