IIS6 App Pool issue

Hi,

I administer 3 seperate environments of IIS using the same code (different areas of development).  They are all hosted on 2003 SP2 servers and each environment cosists of a DC, SQL Server, 3x IIS Servers.  The App Pools are using a Domain Account which password does not expire.

Infrequently the errors occur in the environments which can stop the site.

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      W3SVC
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      1057
Date:            10/12/2008
Time:            13:41:00
User:            N/A

Description:
The identity of application pool 'AppPool' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool.  Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.

I've done a fair bit of research in to this and it seems reasonably common and I've tried the following:
Reset Account Password on the DC & IIS - didn't fix the issue
Enabling the domain account in 'Act as Part of OS' - didn't fix the issue
Added Account to IIS_WPG user group - didn't fix the issue

I've read deleting the account and creating another may fix this but I've also been told this is just a bug in IIS6.

Are there any other suggestions on this issue or proof this is a bug as I've not found MS declaring this.

Thanks
Microsoft IIS Web Server
