Hi, This usually a SQL related error. Check the error message in the AdminUI.log first. In AdminUI.log, it may show more information about this error, because it maybe timeout or sql syntax related. Which version of SQL server did you used? Have you updated SQL server to latest path? Here are some references for you: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/configmgradminconsole/thread/d60fd6dc-7f1e-41f7-b317-2837eee5cb98 Hope this will help. Thanks

Hi, I did post the adminui.log here above. I did not found additional information in that file. Our SQL SQL server is Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition (64-bit) 10.0.2757.0 I'm nearly sure that this error is related to time-out because retrying to delete the ressource that raised an error works fine. Sincerely, Michel
