Inetpub directory disappears on Win 2003 Server; IIS fails on restart
Something very weird is going on with my Windows 2003 Server. When I remote admin into the server I found no Inetpub directory. I checked to see if our company website was running in my local web browser to confirm the disappearance of our websites and it seamed to be fine. Then I thought I could solve the problem by restarting the machine. After the machine was up I remote admin back into it and the IIS Admin failed to start. When I try to start it manually I get an error: Could not start the IIS Admin Service service on Local Computer. Error 5010: The object already exists. And still there is no Inetpub directory.
Any idea what's happening?

Yes I am admin on this machine. I sent up my website on c:\inetpub.....
Now my website in down and the inetpub directory is gone.
When I try and access the IIS console I get prompted for a username and password. My admin password fails.
I receive a message the username/password used to login to this machine does not have administrator priviledges, or
you entered an incorrect password.
I think someone hit my website and deleted the inetpub directory. Any suggestion to get me started with IIS?
Thanks

After the reboot, and failure of IISadmin to start, is your site still loading?
I assume, since your RDP'ing in that you are an admin on that box, right?
