problem running 'SamUpgradeTask.js' script - receive 'Unexpected Error" message

Hi,
I have a new Server with Windows 2008 Server.  Installed all OS updates.  Joined a Windows 2003 domain and promoted to DC.  Attempting to install SEP and receive an error indicating that IIS Admin and W3SVC must be installed.  This is a known issue regarding the inability of ACL to resolve to a friendly name on 2008 servers promoted to DC in a 2003 domain, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735184.aspx).  I followed the given link, (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=946139), copied the script and ran it and received the following error message:

C:\Users\Administrator.MYDOMAIN\Desktop>cscript samupgradetask.js
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Unexpected error attempting to put the well know GUID.
Error Code: -2147016657
Running upgrade task.
C:\Users\Administrator.MYDOMAIN\Desktop\samupgradetask.js(121, 1) (null): An operations error occured

C:\Users\Administrator.MYDOMAIN\Desktop>

Line 121 in the script  is 'serverObj.Setinfo()'.
I am unable to find any information related to Error Code: -2147016657

I have restarted the server and attempted SEP installation again to recieve the same message regarding IIS Admin & W3SVC so the issue still exist.  I have checked to verify that the WAS service is running as shown at the bottom of the TechNet article, and it says it is.

Any assistance or information on where to go from here greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Larry
