The IIS Admin service stops responding when you try to start the IIS Admin service in IIS 6.0
Consider the following scenario. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is running on a domain controller. You do not use the default IUSER_
ComputerName account as the anonymous user account for IIS 6.0. Instead, you create a new user account. Then, you configure the new user account as the anonymous user account for all Web sites on the server. In this scenario, the IIS Admin service stops responding when you try to start the IIS Admin service. Additionally, you receive an error message that states that the IUSER_
ComputerName account does not exist.
This issue may occur if the Metabase.xml file contains entries that reference the IUSER_
ComputerName account.
To resolve this issue, replace the entries that reference the IUSER_
ComputerName account in the Metabase.xml file. Replace these entries by using the new user account that you configure as the anonymous user account. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Notepad, and then open the Metabase.xml file.
Note The Metabase.xml file is located in the Systemroot\System32\Inetsrv folder. - Replace each IUSER_ComputerName account by using the new user account that you configure as the anonymous user account.
- Save the Metabase.xml file, and then close the Metabase.xml file.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
