Error 1053 - IIS Admin Service

[ddzc]

Hey guys,

I was having some issues yesterday restarting IIS. IIS was running fine, I had to run a patch on something else but IIS had to be restarted for it to take effect.

When I attempted to restart from services, it gave me the following error:

Could not stop the IIS Admin Service service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I rebooted the server and IIS was unable to start at bootup. Windows gave me one of those generic errors:

IIS encountered a problem and needed to close.

send error report, dont send buttons.

I then manually started it from services with success (luckily).

After reviewing the logs, I see 4 errors at the same time this happened.

SMTP server cannot create a file in the queue directory C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\Queue\.

Anyone know what would have caused this?

Thx
