The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows Server 2008 - IIS Role cannot be removed but WWW Publishing service fails to start

Asked by Styvie in Server Applications, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: IIS, Server 2008, WSUS 3.0 SP1

Hi,

I am trying to install WSUS 3.0 SP1 on a Server 2008 x64 box.  This box was promoted to a DC on a Server 2003 domain.

The box has the IIS role added, but the w3svc service does not start,  so when installting WSUS 3.0 SP1 it says the IIS role must be added.

Trying to start the w3svc manually fails with the following error messages.

The Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) encountered an error attempting to look up the built in IIS_IUSRS group.  There may be problems in viewing and setting security permissions with the IIS_IUSRS group.  This happens if the machine has been joined and promoted to be a Domain Controller in a legacy domain.  Please see the online help for more information and solutions to this problem.  The data field contains the error number.

The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config file for application pool '*'. The error type is '0'. To resolve this issue, please ensure that the applicationhost.config file is correct and recommit the last configuration changes made. The data field contains the error number.

The configuration manager for Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) did not initialize. The data field contains the error number.

Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) is stopping because it encountered an error. The data field contains the error number.

I have tried to remove the IIS role, but this failed and gives me an error log.

I found a script on Technet to fix the problem of the 1st error message,  where the user accounts have changed
when a 2008 server becomes a DC on a 2003 domain.  I ran the script and rebooted.

W3svc still fails to start.  Now the error messages are the last 3 from above, the 1st error has gone away.

I have searched Technet from the Event Viewer and found nothing..

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks.
