Hi,
I have installed ArcGIS Server10.1 in my machine(windows 7 Enterprise sp1 64bit) which was working fine,suddenly one day the server stopped and not responding at all. When tried to start the machine from arcgis server manager it pop up this error "Failed to start the server machine "Server Name",Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence." also when tried to remove it pops up this error "Failed to unregister the server machine 'Server name'. Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence
I have tried to re-start the arcgis server from services, restart iis, delete the machine files manually(arcgisserver\config-store\machines) and tried to add(registered successfully) and start server machine (same above error) but no success.
Do anyone have came with this kind of issue?? please help me out...

Hi,
I went for repair of ArcGIS Server,after repairing while creating site it pops up the same error "Failed to create the site. Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence." Please find the below image
Do anyone have idea, what could be the reason??? I am not able to find the solution....

Do you have any special character on server host name? If yes, remove the special character and try to create the site again. Also please check the log file and error message.
The same configuration was working fine earlier,Though I change the server name from "abcd123.er.iouokl.com" to"abcd123" and tried to create new site but not success. Same error pops up "Failed to create the site. Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence."
Also checked the log files which says "<Msg time="2015-02-09T16:31:08,190" type="SEVERE" code="6550" source="Admin" process="4476" thread="1" methodName="" machine="abcd123.er.iouokl.com" user="" elapsed="">Failed to start the server machine 'abcd123.er.iouokl.com'. Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.</Msg>"
Did the server configuration storage locations has the required permission for ArcGIS account?
Yes, It has full permissions on the server configuration storage locations.
Hi,
There could be couple of reasons.
1. did you check the ArcGIS site service is runing fine ?
2. if yes, please check your license valid date.
Thanks and Regards,

Yes, license is valid and site is running fine(could able to log in and see the services). At last i have re-install the ArcGIS server which obviously fixed the issue.
I hope some one can find the exact solution for this issue.
