IIS Admin Service: "Error 170: The requested resouce is in use"

[Stevehewitt]

Hi all,

Rebooted a Win2k3 Std SP2 server yesterday which has been running a website via IIS without problems.
After the reboot, the website was down. The

http://WWW service

wasn't running, and this was becuase the IISAdmin (which

http://WWW is

dependant on) wasn't running.

When I try to start IISAdmin I get the following error:


Error 170: The requested resouce is in use.


I've done some basic checks. Can't find anything else in the event viewer other than the actual event that has the same info as above for the service. A sc query results in the exit code being "-2147024726 (0x800700aa)", which just maps to the headline error (resouce in use). A netstat doesn't show anything using ports 80 or 443 either.

Overall system resources are pretty good, with over 1gb RAM free and CPU isn't even touching 5% on idle load.

Any ideas? Completely stuck with this!

Cheers,


Steve.

Anyone?!

Tried removing IIS, then reinstalling (reboot in between) but that hasn't worked. Even worse, there is now no

http://WWW service....!?!?!?!

Now about to remove again, rename iis6.log, reboot and reinstall to see if I get any decent logging off it.

Any help appreciated!



Steve.
