I got a new laptop for my work and I thought about installing Win8 CP as my main operating system, I like it, so I tried to run some tests in a virtual machine to check if the AppFabric cache could work in Win8 CP. The official MS response is: "AppFabric is not supported in Win8, and we will tell you how to run it when Win8 is released," and of course, this is not a good answer for me, so I tried ... and could not ...
After installing .Net 3.5SP1 and the latest updates, AppFabric cache was installed and configured without any problems on my Win8 machine using my local user and XML provider in a shared folder, I gave permissions and everything to this folder ...
The first problem is that the cache admin console returns with this message every time I open it:
Use-CacheCluster : ErrorCode<ERRCAdmin040>:SubStatus<ES0001>:Failed to connect
to hosts in the cluster At line:1 char:46
+ Import-Module DistributedCacheAdministration;Use-CacheCluster

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Use-CacheCluster], DataCacheException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException,Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Commands.UseCacheClusterCommand
PS C:\Windows\system32>
Well, it seems like something is wrong ... let it try to start the cache cluster
PS C:\Windows\system32> start-cachecluster
HostName : CachePort Service Name Service Status Version Info
-------------------- ------------ -------------- ------------
win8:22233 AppFabricCachingService UP 0 [0,0][0,0]
PS C:\Windows\system32>
The answer to the version information is not quite right, so the creation of a new cache may fail
PS C:\Windows\system32> new-cache IPE
New-Cache : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:1

And to a large extent, that is all ...
I tried everything I could find on the Internet:
- Remote launch
- Registry Service Changing the host file in windows / system32 / drivers / etc / host to host an explicit entry in localhost and my machine name
- Permission check
- Install Updates
- Opening Firewall Rules
(For firewall rules, I tried something like this)
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Server AppFabric: AppFabric Caching Service" new enable=Yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Remote Service Management (RPC)" profile=domain new enable=Yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Remote Service Management (RPC-EPMAP)" profile=domain new enable=Yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Remote Service Management (NP-In)" profile=domain new enable=Yes
