Hi Mike, Here is a extract of the web.config for my Central Admin Website, in the <system.web> tag you should have the <authentication> tag defined as shown below:

An exception of type microsoft.sharepoint.SPException was thrown. The web configuration file, C:\........., does not have element "Authentication" or it is invalid. This is our Central Admin website and we get the error when running the SP config wizard, any ideas? I searched the web.config file for “Authentication” and could only find.. Here is the first part - but I think this just has to do with an add- in i installed: <SafeControl Assembly="CKS.FormsBasedAuthentication, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d0c9b215512a2c5d" Namespace="SPDevtools" TypeName="*" Safe="True" /> <SafeControl Assembly="CKS.FormsBasedAuthentication, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d0c9b215512a2c5d" Namespace="CKS.FormsBasedAuthentication" TypeName="*" Safe="True" /> <SafeControl Assembly="CKS.FormsBasedAuthentication, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d0c9b215512a2c5d" Namespace="CKS.FormsBasedAuthentication.HIP" TypeName="*" Safe="True" /> Here is the next part - We have a default SP site which uses windows authentication and then a intranet site that users form based. <httpModules> <clear /> <add name="SPRequest" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SPRequestModule, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" /> <add name="OutputCache" type="System.Web.Caching.OutputCacheModule" /> <add name="FormsAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule" /> <add name="UrlAuthorization" type="System.Web.Security.UrlAuthorizationModule" /> <add name="WindowsAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsAuthenticationModule" /> <add name="RoleManager" type="System.Web.Security.RoleManagerModule" /> <!-- <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/> --> </httpModules> Mike MacDonald Technology Analyst Securian Financial Group 1(800)395-2774 opt4,4
