We recently had a major meltdown with our IIS server and can no longer access the MMC for the Internet Service Manager. Our website is up and running. We are also getting many error messages:

Most of the literature suggests Metabase corruption or reinstalling IIS and Server extensions. Also while trying to start the MMC I get the message:
Unable to administer the Web service on \\IISServer because the following error occured- An error reading or setting a configuration parameter (80080005)
Has anyone else had the same problem and do you have any suggestions??? Thanks.

start with the MS KB Article ID: Q207510

When you remotely connect to an Internet Information Server (IIS) computer using the Internet Service Manager (ISM) in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and you attempt to make a directory or virtualdirectory into an application, the following error message is displayed:

An error occurred reading or setting a configuration parameter.
(0x80080005)
Also, when you use the Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) MMC snap-in and attempt to open a package, the following error message occurs:
An error occurred accessing components in the system package on this computer.
Error code was 8080005. Make sure that:
Microsoft Transaction server is installed correctly
If you have set a specific identity for the system
package, check that the user account and password are correct.

CAUSE
During the Microsoft Transaction Server portion of the Windows NT Option Pack installation, the user may have accepted the default of Local administration, rather than Remote. Therefore, no remote administration user account was set for MTS.

RESOLUTION
To specify an account for the MTS package's identity, which can also be used for remote administration, perform the following steps:

If you do not have an account to use for remote administration, create one using User Manager.

On the IIS computer, in the scope (left-hand) pane of the MMC, go to the following branch:

Microsoft Transaction Server
Computers
My Computer Packages Installed

Right-click the package where the identity needs to be changed, and then click Properties on the context menu.

Click the Identity tab.

Select the This user radio button, and then provide the user account and password to use.
Note: Be sure to include the domain in the user text box, followed by a backslash before the user's name, in the form of DomainName\UserName

The machine that I am getting these errors from is the IIS server that is having trouble. I am not remotely connecting to this server. When opening the MMC from the IIS server these messages occur. I am unable to use the Internet Service Manager from the offending server.
