400 bad request when trying to add a shared role

Question

Reserved roles are adding fine, but for some reason I cannot add a share. I get the generic error in the WAP portal

Please try again. If the problem persists, contact support.

The only other error I can find is on the adminhub in event viewer under MgmtSvc-AdminSite. 

Error:ProtocolException: The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request.
<Exception>
  <Type>ProtocolException</Type>
  <Message>The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request.</Message>

And this. (I replaced the partial server name with MEHMEH)

Rest client received unsucessful response message with status code '404' and body '{"Code":"NotFound","Message":"Server MEHMEH is not accessible. Could not connect to the server 'MEHMEH'. This may be because the server is not available. Make sure the server name or address is correct and try again.","ExtendedCode":"10002","MessageTemplate":"Server {0} is not accessible.","Parameters":["MEHMEH"],"InnerErrors":null}'.

Answer 1

I was able to add a reserved node fine. I ended up adding the shared node through the controller and it worked fine. Not sure what is wrong with the portal or if it's something with those shared servers. 

Answer 2

Thanks for reporting the issue, the work around is log into the controller machine and use the new Websites Management Console (The shortcut to the MMC is in the desktop), go to servers node and click in the "Add server..." option from the right panel. Here you will be able to add the shared workers.

We have fixed the issue but it will be available in the next update (Update 7)

Thanks, glad to know it wasn't just me.
