Noticed a few days ago that all of our DNN sites across multiple servers are not allowing us to update content in the text modules, plus when click on links to blog posts (Sunblog) for example it just refreshes the main blog page instead of going into the post. The sites are running on stacks that have installs of DNN 6, 7 and 8. There is a central DB server, which seems to be running fine and it has been rebooted. The web servers have been rebooted as well. At one point we updated some TLS settings in the registry but we have reverted back on those, and rebooted the server after.
We are having this issue with sites that are SSL and Non-SSL. Also with www and non-www set as primary domains. We always have a number of errors in both event viewer on web servers its hard to tell if anything new related to this issue.

Environment
==========
- Two 2008R2 web servers
- One 2008R2 MSSQL 2008
History:
======
- The issue appeared to start with a change to TLS that was made Friday evening to deal with PCI compliance, but may be unrelated. During this update the registry keys specified in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn786418(v=ws.11).aspx#BKMK_SchannelTR_TLS10 were added to the registry in both web servers (but not the database) in order to set:
TLS 1.0 off
TLS 1.1 off
TLS 1.2 on
Specifically:
TLS 1.0
Client
Enabled = 0
Server
Enabled = 0
TLS 1.1
Client
Enabled = 0
Server
Enabled = 0
The TLS 1.2 was already there and on, so he did not touch it.
After server reboot, the server didn't come back up and was unreachable via RDP. We got back in via remote KVM and rolled back the TLS changes.
Current Symptoms
============
- Unable to update text modules
- Blog links don't work
- When logged in, the above does work
- Effects SSL and non SSL sites
- Effects sites on Web1 and Web2
- Effects www and non-www primary
Troubleshooting steps taken
======================
- All TLS changes have been reverted (not able to confirm this has been effective)
- Web1, Web2 and DB have been restarted
- Change primary domain from www to non www version.
