I was working on a problem with a virtual machine at work. Brought in an engineer and we spent about an hour messing with configurations and trying to understand why an automated deployment wouldn't run. Finally he said, "I guess just blow away this virtual machine and spin up another one." A moment later the deployment started running.

Turns out all we had to do was threaten to delete the difficult machine.
