If your various Microsoft consoles are failing to function you might need to reregister some files. In my case I found that FILE SERVER RESOURCE MANAGER MMC would load but say it could not connect. another person found that their FAILOVER CLUSTER MANAGER MMC had errors AND I found that the SERVER MANAGER DASHBOARD had a red flag indicating the REFRESH FAILED. When I clicked MORE I saw the image to the right:
There are two solution I have found to these errors:
1 – Refresh .MOFs:
- Launch a CMD PROMPT (ADMIN) – make sure it is as an Admin
- type cd C:\Windows\System32\wbem\AutoRecover
- type for /f %s in (‘dir /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s’
- Launch your SERVER MANAGER and let it take the minute or two it needs to start up.
I found information on this fix HERE and HERE.
2 – Remove Old/Dead Machines From Server Manager:
Launch SERVER MANAGER- Click ALLSERVERS
- Right Click on any old or dead servers and select REMOVE.
That’s it!

Thanks solved my problem with Server Manager repeatedly failing to refresh with an error message about “remote procedure call failed”.

Esta otra solución me funciono: Nos vamos al regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\ServicingStorage\ServerComponentCahe
Renombramos la carpeta: ServerComponentCahe-bak.
Reiniciamos y Listo.
