To fix this problem, ensure that WCF Activation is enabled on both servers (CMS and Search):

For IIS 7.5, use the Add Features Wizard. Go to .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features > select both WCF Activation and HTTP activation .

For IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012), use the Add Roles and Features Wizard. The HTTP Activation feature is located under .NET Framework 4.5 Features > WCF Services.
