When in times of need call upon the experts!
Yep I'm well I’m truly up **** creak without a paddle with this one so I'm really hoping someone on here can help...
I installed SQL 2005 client tools (well more specifically ASP.NET version 2) onto a Windows 2000 web server running a number of websites using IIS 5, since doing so I can no longer gain access to the Internet Services Manager snap it. When I open IIS I get an error saying "Unable to enumerate web sites because the following error has occurred: Access is denied". Now this is fairly critical as the server is a production web server and our HSphere control panel can no longer talk to IIS - thus preventing new accounts from being created and changes being made to those accounts that already exist!!
From my initial look around the web I do not appear to be the first person to have seen this issue but as yet I am still unable to find a resolution to the problem. So far I have tried:
1. Logging in using local Administrator and another account with Administrative privileges
2. Running Windows Update to download the latest patches for ASP.NET v2
3. Manually adding ASPNET to the administrators group
4. Running the aspnet_regiis –ga command for the ASPNET, local administrator and SYSTEM accounts as per KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/267904/
All without success.
Interestingly when I run aspnet_regiis –i I get lots of access is denied errors in the log so I’m still lacking permissions to the Metabase and I’m sure this is where my problem lies (if it'll help I can post this log too).
I've almost run out of ideas for this one and I really don't want to have to rebuild the server so any help is going to be much appreciated!
