Delete VHOST causes COM Error 8000ffff

[bkausbk]

Plesk can not delete VHOST.
(I'm using Plesk for Windows 8.11)

Error: Unable to activate/deactivate domain: Execute websrvmng --stop-vhost "--vhost-name=mydomain.com" failed: Catastrophic failure (COM Error 8000FFFF) at stopHosting(mydomain.com)

It was caused after I manually delete VHOST in Windows IIS Admin Controlpanel without using Plesk.

So what is the way to get rid of this vhost in Plesk?

Thanks

Most probably this issue is caused by incorrect domain configuration in IIS. Try to perform the following:

1) Remove SiteCache registry branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PLESK\PSA Config\Config\SitesCache (but backup it first - just in case )
2) Recreate it with websrvmng Plesk utility:

Start > Run > cmd
cd %plesk_bin%
websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-all

After that site can be managed as it is now configured in IIS anew.

Thank you DmitryT for your hint, but unfortunately there is no such Registry key and calling reconfigure causes "Unexpected Error"

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd %plesk_bin%

C:\SWSoft\Plesk\admin\bin>websrvmng.exe --reconfigure-all
Unexpected error
C:\SWSoft\Plesk\admin\bin>

Is there a way to restore the entire plesk to the state after installation? Since Plesk was preinstalled with my Virtual Private Server I think I don't have access to Plesk installation executable.

Most probably .Security file is corrupted. Please try to move to .bak file temporary and repeat the operations below.

Where can I find this .Security file? Btw. also non physical Vhosts (forwards) can't be deleted with plesk. Same error.

Is there a way to re-register needed COM components?
