We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
When you try to configure services in Internet Server Manager, you will get the following error message:

The service has not been started.



CAUSE
Stopped services cannot be configured in Internet Server Manager because configuration is done through the server's RPC interface, which is only available when the service is running.



RESOLUTION
Start the service in question. If configuration changes are made, choose Apply to make the new settings take effect.
