IIS Admin Service goes away after restoring a VHD / VPC Server

I recently had the unexpected pleasure of losing my IIS Admin server - altogether!!! Translate - 150% !!!

Now, before this - everything was going great - except. During an upgrade of MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) I encounted an issue that forced me to restore a VPC image - essentially bringing over another copy of the VHD and firing the server back up.

Interstingly, during that reboot - which for all intents should have gone fine - I see a hoard of DSKCHK processes running. Invariably, something got out of wack on the NTFS volumn between my shutting the image down and bringing it back up. During the 'fixing' process - a number of files invaribly can become corrupt - and the Metabase.xml - the blood-life of your IIS Admin service - is no exception. SO

Check in C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv and you'll find a 'History' folder. Within here - hopefully - you'll find fairly recent backups of the Metabase.XML and MBSchema.XML objects. Before doing the following - be sure to backup the existing Metabase.xml and MBSchema.xml from C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv first.

Now, rename a recent backup from the 'History' folder - renaming a recently Metabase.XML object, and then a recent MBSchema.XML object. Copy / Paste each of these to the C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv.

Ahh, not quite done.

Now do a IISRESET from a command prompt.

Hopefully this will get you back to where you need to be.

This is fantastic! I wasn't sure if this was the same issue as mine, but I too was not able to start IIS services.

What was thought to be quite complicated, was simple beyond any means!

Help!! Why am I getting this error?? My server seems to be running very slow. I don's know if this error has something to do with it..

# re: The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A). 10/6/2007 10:12 AM MikeH

Hi J.T.

The error we received and how we resolved it was outlined in this blog. This however, does not mean it may solve your problem. Essentially, before .Net 3.0 you have a centralized .config file for .Net and the metabase and associated XML for our IIS setup got corrupted during the reboot of a virtual image - and we resolved it back restoring the back copies of these files - as outlined in this thread.

Hi J.H.,

Unfortunately, without know a lot more about your hardware setup, etc. I cannot comment on this. Sounds like you have a dual boot system? I don't know.

If you could share more information on your setup - that may be helpful.

Sorry...

Hi Miloslav - it sounds almost like the service may in fact, be disabled.

Within Component Services - you can check to see if the actual admin service is active, and under services.msc ensure that the www publishing services is not disabled.

I have not seen this specific issue before - and those are the first things I'd check.

thanks from me too, a follow up though, how do you insure that current backups are being written to the history folder, just check from time to time? and is there some way run an automatic backup of iis like would be done from the snapin?

# re: The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A). 11/8/2008 9:56 AM MikeH

That's a very good question bbxrider... I do not know the answer - but when I've checked, I've noticed a couple backups each month. I would imagine there is even a setting as to how often this is done, or perhaps it's done just changing something in IIS. I'm not sure.

Perhaps someone else here can provide more feedback?

AWESOME...even after tracking down other sites for this error, and joining a PAID IT help site that still didn't have the answer...

Great help.

Oh my god, you saved my life!!! I almost had a heart attack when the IIS instance with all of our production websites wouldn't start up.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

If the above steps do not work for you (they did not for me). Try opening the metabse####.xml files in the History folder with the Office XML Editor. For me it would give the "bad character" error message on the ones that were bad. Turns out, of the dozen or so backups I had in that folder, it wasn't the oldest one that was correct but one of the newer ones. Using that editor may save you some time in figureing out the correct one to copy over to the ..\inetsrv folder. Worked for me.

Thanks you for posting this!

Hello,
Great to have the solution but how can we stop this from happening regularly. I often have to perform this procedure on 10% of my servers each month. Originally it was Windows Update that triggered these failures but now, it's rebooting random servers (it doesn't seem to be the same servers experiencing the error). So, my question is, what causes this error?
Thankx,
MG2

Yes, that's fine. But it is a reoccuring problem.
Why does it happen, and how can I prevent it from turning up again (and again)?

I can't thank you enough for this! My server got apparently wiped by the SharePoint MOSS February cumulative update - the server was telling me IIS wasn't even installed on the server and I was looking down the barrel of a full server re-install. Thank you so much for sharing this information! You're a life saver! (or at least a job saver! :) )
