Q: 

'safe handle has been closed' when trying to encrypt web.config connectionStrings section

I would like know th reason behind this error: Environment: Windows server 2003 The command I am using is:

aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" "D:\Learn\ResetWebApp\ResetWebApp"

The error I get is:

Encrypting configuration section... An error occurred executing the configuration section handler for connectionStrings.

Failed to encrypt the section 'connectionStrings' using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error message from the provider: Safe handle has been closed

Failed!
