I'm working on moving an existing Umbraco 6.2.6 site from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 R2. The site loads almost correctly, one of my macros is failing. But, my biggest issue is I cannot get the back office to come up. I am getting "No http handler was found for request type 'GET'". The full error stack is below:
I've compared settings, web.config, all I can think of with a known good site running Umbraco 6.2.6 as well on Windows 2012. Nothing stands out. Anyone have any ideas?
Follow up: I just discovered that if I access the back office via /umbraco/umbraco.aspx I can login and all appears to work. But, if I try and use /umbraco/default.aspx then I get the error indicated above. Why does this only appear to be happening with the Umbraco back office?

Is it possible this issue is caused by ColdFusion adding a wildcard handler to IIS? This comment from another site sounds like it's worth trying.
"...ColdFusion, which by default sets up a handler on * for any request..." "...So eliminate the * handler and move on with life. Done."
is working on a reply...
