    Hi,

    Please enable tracing on web server to see the detailed error on the server.

    Also, please check event log for any detailed error.

    Take fresh copy of DB on SQL Server 1

    Followed this guide to restore DB in SQL Server 2

    Configured Job Server and Service

    Get Error: "Could not decode parameter 'ConnectionString'. Encryption error. The data was probably encrypted with the wrong public key"

    Attempt to decrypt DB

    Get Error: "Error converting configuration parameter 'Common\MailNotification\Encrypt\ConnectPassword'. Encryption error. The data was probably encrypted with the wrong public key

    Reconfigured DB connection string via Designer

    Repeat step 4 - 6 > Same result

    Repeat step 3 - 6 trying different combinations > Same result

    Regards,

    Peter
