Azure Application Insights Status Monitor error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005)

I hope this question is not asked many times before. First I searched the contributions but did not find the answer.

I have very first experiences with Application Insights Status Monitor. It works fine on a web server where AI Status Monitor is installed and connected to my Azure Subscription. The monitored IIS applications are present within the Azure Management Portal and it is possible to analyze data. I am happy with it.

But, on an other web server it does not work. As an administrator I installed the AI Status Monitor. I use the latest version, downloaded yesterday 2017-06-22. When I run it, it starts as expected. But when I try connecting to my Azure Subscription by "Sign in" the enclosed error message occurs.

Both machines are running Windows Server 2012 Standard with IIS.

Would be great if at least one of you can give advice on how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Andi

CLSID {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the error message is a CLSID of Internet Explorer that's trying to be launched by Status Monitor for user authentication.

So mostly probably you have a problems with IE installation on that box - check that you have it correctly installed and re-install if needed.
